Why Is Castor Oil Good for Hair Loss?

Castor oil has been used for centuries for its natural healing properties to treat conditions such as constipation, gastrointestinal problems, skin conditions and arthritis. Castor oil’s healing components also work well at treating mild to moderate hair loss. Derived from the castor bean and composed almost completely of essential fatty acids, castor oil delivers mild yet effective nutrients to your hair and scalp that can promote hair growth.

Hair Loss Factors

Although factors out of your control, such as age and heredity, can cause hair loss, there are lifestyle factors within your control that may be to blame. Poor diet and vitamin deficiencies,chemicals and heat applied to your hair can cause hair loss. Hair breakage in the forms of shedding, thinning, split ends and balding--especially at the crown and temple areas--are common hair-loss issues. A lack of moisture, deficiency of nutrients, and lax cleansing and conditioning of both the hair and scalp are major contributors to hair loss in men and women.

Benefits

Castor oil is a mild, natural, inexpensive, easily accessible and easy-to-use treatment for your hair and scalp. It has a high concentration of essential fatty acids that your hair thrives on to maintain strength, fullness, length and shine. Castor oil is easily absorbed into the hairshaft, locking in the moisture and nutrients needed and eliminating the dryness and brittleness that leads to hair breakage .It also improves scalp condition and keeps hair follicles healthy. Castor oil contains a high concentration of Ricinoleic acid, an anti-fungal and anti-bacteria property that is effective in treating scalp conditions This ingredient prevents the onset of dandruff, scalp infection and scalp inflammation, which are major sources of hair loss

Quality

.Choose castor oil in its natural unprocessed state for hair and scalp treatments. Processed castor oil has been stripped of its natural potency and is less effective. Be mindful of using pure castor oil--not an oil blend, which may contain fragrances and other unnatural or chemically based ingredients.

Functions

Castor oil can be used alone or blended with other hair-growth promoting oils, such as coconut, olive, jojoba and almond. Castor oil can also be used as a leave-in conditioner, hot-oil treatment and hair-growth treatment As a scalp conditioner and hair-growth treatment apply and massage to scalp, let sit for 20 minutes before rinsing and styling. As a daily and weekly conditioner, apply lightly near the roots and more liberally on the hairshaft and hair ends to keep your locks long, strong, thick and healthy.

Considerations

Genetics and medical conditions play a significant role in hair loss for both men and women and should not be negated. Hair loss can be a warning sign of internal health factors. Consult your doctor at the first signs of unusual hair loss.

How Does Castor Oil Help Hair Loss?

HOW DOES CASTOR OIL HELP FOR HAIR LOSS ?

Stimulates Hair Growth 

Massaging castor oil into the scalp helps hair loss in two different ways. First, the massaging action stimulates the hair follicles, encouraging new and faster growth. Second, the castor oil soaks in to the root of the hair, where it interacts with the follicles and encourages them to grow additional hair.

Conditions Scalp

Castor oil also conditions the scalp and existing hair, making it healthier and improving its appearance. Even though initially a person may have the same amount of hair, that hair will appear thicker because it is healthier. Healthy hair strands appear thicker than unhealthy hair strands.

Strengthens Hair

The application of castor oil also helps strengthen each hair strand, preventing breakage and hair loss. The hair stays in the follicle longer, and the hair itself doesn't break as easily. Broken hair strands can make hair appear thinner.

MY HAIR TYPE

4C - Coily Ziggly℠

Type 4c hair is composed of curl patterns that will almost never clump without doing a specific hair style. It can range from fine/thin/super soft to wiry/coarse with lots of densely packed strands. 4c hair has been described as a more "challenging" version of 4b hair. Some say 4c looks identical to 4b except that the curls are so tightly kinked, there is seemingly no definition. 4c hair can shrink more than 75%.
4c celebrites include: Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and Aevin Dugas.

Quick Tips

• Limit your cleansing to heavy co-washing conditioners
• Use products like oils, creams and butters to moisturize and seal your coils
• Use heavy pudding and creams to help elongate your Coily Ziggly hair. Don't forget to deep condition every 3 days to ensure healthy strong coils

EYESHADOW TO COLOR HAIR

How to Use Eyeshadow

Evelyn colored her coils using cream eyeshadow, after seeing Nikki sporting blue coils on CurlyNikki and sweet purple highlights on Fro Envy. She used Maybelline’s Color Tattoo 24 Hr Cream Gel Shadow in Tenacious Teal.
For a subtle pop of color you can highlight strands throughout your hair, or for more in-your-face vibrant color, you can apply this to a whole section (as pictured). You don’t need to layer the eyeshadow, the color was vibrant with just one application!

• Step 1. Select the section of hair you’d like to color. Evelyn recommends starting with dry hair. You may want to clip the rest of the hair back that you are not coloring.
• Step 2. Using your fingertips, emulsify the cream eyeshadow between your fingers, this will ensure the product is smooth and easier to apply (without chunks).
• Step 3. Apply cream eyeshadow to the section of hair with your fingertips, smooth it through your hair like you would a styling product.
• Step 4. Be sure to work the eyeshadow into your roots as well.
• Step 5. When you’re ready to wash the color out, use your normal method to wash your hair (whether that’s conditioner or shampoo, it washes right out).

5 Tips To Grow Long Natural Hair

Every woman desires to have locks like those of Rapunzel – lovely, long and healthy.  Although till date there is no scientific method to accelerate the growth of your hair but you can definitely stimulate the growth of your hair. Proper care, looking after and not subjecting your hair to sever damage will surely assist in growing your hair longer and healthier.

Here we encapsulate some best practices you must follow to grow long natural hair:

1.  Regular trimming: You must get your hair trimmed at regular intervals. Leaving them neglect without getting them trimmed is a big no if you want to grow long natural hair. After a point of time if you are not getting your hair trimmed they tend to have split ends. These split ends restrict the growth of the hair and also damage your hair structure.
   
   
2. Moisture retention:  Daily exposure to heat, ultra violet rays and pollution causes the hair to loose its natural moisture and become dry. Dry and damaged hair will never gain length. A hot oil massage is the best solution to prevent and control the same. Use any natural oil, warm it a little and use a swap of cotton to dab it on the scalp. Apply the excess oil to the extended hair and gently massage your scalp with the help of your finger tips in a circular motion. After the massage use a hot towel to wrap around your head for a while. Rinse off your hair using a mild shampoo.
   
   
3. Braids or twists: You have to practically live in braids, buns and twisted hair till you get that desired length. When you leave your locks open you are inviting trouble from – pollution, ultra violet rays, entangling and many more damages. Twisting and braiding protects the hair from these dangers and keeps your locks safe.
   
   
4. Dietary improvements: The junk has to be done away with instantly. Junk food leads the body to loose nourishment and in turn you loose your hair. Your diet must comprise of healthy food. Crash diets too need to be avoided; they again deprive you from important nutrients. The food you eat must include good amount of protein and vitamins which accelerate the growth of your hair.
   
   
5. Hair products: While you are looking to grow your hair you have to very minutely scrutinize the hair products you use. Stay away from chemically loaded products that can cause harm and shift to milder conditioners, shampoos and masks. You can also ask your stylist to help you choose these.

Other useful tips: You should never twirl your hair ends with your finger while concentrating or nervous. They lead to split ends. The daily dose of ironing, curlers and other chemicals or styling has to be avoided completely. When your hair is entangled a little more than usual, use your fingers to detangle them to avoid breakage.  Minimize manipulating your hair during the growth period or use styles that last for a considerable period of time say a fortnight or may be more.

We recommend you follow this routine and you will notice a considerable change in the length of your hair.

SHORT HAIR DON'T CARE

SHORT HAIR

1. Stronger Ends

New growth equals stronger hair simply because it has not been around long enough to be exposed to the elements, manipulation and wear and tear that come naturally as the hair ages. Basically shorter hair is stronger, period. As long as you are not causing damage to your hair by heat, over manipulation and chemicals, your ends are the strongest of them all!

2. More Styling Manipulation

The advantages of having shorter hair not only means less manipulation (if you can keep your hands out of your hair in those idle moments, lol) but also being able to withstand a little more manipulation than longer lengths. As previously mentioned new growth is stronger and can handle a little more manipulation than longer hair, which is why there are women (like Amber Rose) who rock short haircuts and dye their hair every color under the sun but still have healthy hair. The constant cutting of your ends to achieve a shorter look eliminates damage that occurred while using a chemical such as dye.

3. Water is Your Best Friend

We all know water is your best friend regardless of length but if you are a shorty, you really have the comfort of enjoying Mother Nature’s greatest gift without the process of protective styles or sectioning to reduce tangling, not to mention air-drying short hair is a dream!

4. Protective Styling WHAT?

The length of short hair is automatically a protective style within itself since your ends will not be in friction with any clothing articles you may be wearing. No matter what your hair type texture, if hair is above shoulder length you have more freedom to wear your hair out without risking damage from friction.

5. Less Time

The hands of time are on your side! With less hair you save time on everything from detangling, washing to styling.

6. Easier Detangling

The longer/older your strands are, the more susceptible they are to feathering; when your ends are thinner and finer than your roots due to wear over time. Feathering leads to tangling, single strand knots and split ends.

7. Product Usage

More money more problems…Less hair less products! Rockin short styles obviously means less product usage, saving you money.
