Did you know that...
The germicidal, insecticidal and fungicidal properties of Ricin/Ricinoleic acid in Castor oil protect the scalp and hair from microbial and fungal infections, the two prime causes for hair loss.
So, just to put it simple, Castor oil cleans the scalp of any impurities that would inhibit maximum growth.
The fatty acids in it nourish the hair and prevent the scalp from drying by retaining moisture.
As you may or may not know, Castor Oil is a humectant and acts the same way as glycerin and honey. For all the newbies out there, humectants have the ability to draw moisture from the air.
After I apply Jamaican Black Castor Oil to my scalp, I notice my hair retaining moisture even better. The Castor oil gives my hair a nice healthy glow as well.

I Love Castor oil! It works miracle lol. It thicken up my thin spot in months and it also make my hair feel soft yet strong. LUV this stuff!
Sunshyne I am so glad you posted this!! I did not know that Castor oil was a humectant!!!! All this time I could've been adding it to my DC's for added moisture instead of just honey and EVOO. Thank you for posting this seriously! Have a blessed day
Hi, I would like to know how much does your jamaican black castor oil costs you (I know that you pay in Canadian money.. that's why I'm asking lol)? Thanks in advance and also thanks for sharing the benefits of castor oil.. great post!! =)
Wow, I didn't know castor oil had these benefits, but it makes since to me about the humectants b/c if the way my hair acts with some styles after I apply castor oil.One ounce to go so I will be purchasing and tryin JBCO pretty soon.
can you use any castor oil or does it have to be jbco
Sadly...i'm allergic to JBCO. My scalp itches whenever I use it.
Wow I had no idea of all these benefits of castor oil. I just knew it thickened my edges up!
Great post! Castor oil is one of nature's gifts to hair.
I have the same question as Lois3
because I bought a west idian castor oil.
What's the differents??
i just started using it so fingers crossed
@ Anonymous with the JBCO allergy:
Me too. Except I didn't use JBCO, I used the regular Walmart laxative kind. I nearly ran mad with the itching. It was so bad I woke up in the middle of the night to re-wash my hair and get it off my sore scalp. Its fine when I use it on my hair, it doesn't bother me but when I did the targeted scalp rub, it was awful.
Why you don't answer any questions? are you really that busy?
it's only my 3rd week using castor oil on my scalp and i have been seeing immediate results. i have new growth all over my head in places like never before...i love it!
I locked for 20 years and now am working with my hair natural, with flat twists, buns, curly afros, etc. Castor has been my saving grace for over 20 years. It is thick, but I mix it with whatever I have, shea, olive, tea tree and melt it a few seconds in the microwave. UMMMMM, ummmmmmmm good for your hair!
