learn Castor oil

a traditional, natural remedy touted for promoting scalp health and hair growth

Does castor oil make hair grow or is it just a myth? There is no published human trial showing castor oil grows hair. It can make hair look and feel better by reducing breakage and adding shine, which is easily mistaken for growth, and it is not approved anywhere as a hair loss treatment.
Castor oil: How do you use it without ending up with greasy hair for days? Use a pea-sized amount of warmed castor oil to avoid greasy hair.
Castor oil: Does it help restore lost hair or just strengthen existing hair? Castor oil primarily strengthens existing hair rather than restoring lost hair.
