The benefits of castor oil for your hair

Castor oil, extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis), is a natural treasure that has been used for centuries for its medicinal and cosmetic properties. Rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid, it is particularly renowned for its beneficial effects on the health and beauty of hair. At FATMEY, we have incorporated it into our formulations to offer you the best of nature.

1. Promotes hair growth

One of the most well-known benefits of castor oil is its ability to stimulate hair growth. Ricinoleic acid improves blood circulation to the scalp, bringing more nutrients to the hair follicles. This creates an environment conducive to healthy, rapid growth.

How to use it:

• Massage a few drops of castor oil into your scalp for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Leave on for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight.
• Wash your hair as usual. Repeat 2 to 3 times a week.

2. Strengthens and thickens hair

In addition to stimulating growth, castor oil helps strengthen hair strands, reducing breakage and split ends. It nourishes hair from root to tip, making it thicker, stronger, and less prone to damage.

2.1. Reduction of breakage

Thanks to its nourishing properties, it forms a protective barrier around each strand, making it less vulnerable to external aggressions (heat, pollution, styling).

3. Deeply hydrates and nourishes

Castor oil is an excellent natural moisturizer. It penetrates deep into the hair fiber, providing hydration and shine to dry, brittle, or damaged hair. It also helps seal in moisture, leaving hair soft, supple, and manageable.

1. Apply to lengths and ends for a hydrating mask.
2. Leave on for 1 to 2 hours before rinsing.
3. Ideal for frizzy, curly or very dry hair.

4. Soothes the scalp and fights dandruff

Its anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties make it a valuable ally for a healthy scalp. It can help soothe itching, reduce inflammation, and combat dandruff caused by fungus or imbalances.

By incorporating castor oil into your hair care routine, you're giving your hair a complete natural treatment that promotes health, growth, and shine. Discover FATMEY's pure castor oil for optimal results!
