Give Your Hair A Glow Up With These 6 Castor Oils Under INR 500

This is an oil extracted from the seeds of the castor plant. The main fatty acid in it is ricinoleic, making up about 90% of the oil, which is what gives it its health and beauty perks. It has other acids like oleic, and linoleic, as well as other vitamins and minerals. These acids are the contributors to its mild pungent smell and yellowish colour. It is thick in texture and quite heavy to the feel and is mostly used to help with skin hydration,  and to help with plumpness and softness. It also helps fight inflammation of skin and treats acne, dry skin, and fungal infections. Apart from its skincare benefits, for hair, it's said to help with growth and thickness when you put it on your scalp.

Natural Growth: Castor oil stimulates hair growth and thickens hair. The ricinoleic acid in it is what stimulates the hair follicles giving it natural thick growth when massaged to the roots, which also works on your lashes and eyebrows!

Locks in Moisture: The thick texture of this oil gives it its moisturising properties which is great for the health of hair and scalp by preventing dryness and split ends which results in breakage.

Bye, Dandruff: With its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory powers castor oil can help with dandruff and other scalp issues, especially in cold, dry and polluted environments as it soothes itchiness and reduces flakiness.

Stronger Hair for All Environments: Consistently applying castor oil will strengthen the roots of the hair, making it tougher to break and sustain its lushness even in harsher environments.

Healthier Scalp: Massaging castor oil on the head will nourish the scalp by boosting blood flow and circulation, ultimately leading to a healthier scalp.

Shiny Hair: Castor oil will make your hair look just like those ones in shampoo ads, super shiny and frizz free . Because of its emollient properties, this oil is highly hydrating giving the hair a natural shine.

The best way to use it is by applying it to your scalp and hair, massaging it in, and leaving it for at least 30 minutes or overnight before washing it out. You can also mix it with other oils or ingredients like coconut oil or tea tree oil or even lemon to make hair masks or treatments!
