Organic Castor Oil Subscription

Yes, and it's one of the main reasons people buy it. Castor is thick, so mix it half and half with a lighter oil like Pure Jojoba Oil. Part your hair, work it into the scalp with your fingertips, and leave it an hour before you shampoo. Twice a week is plenty.

Expect to shampoo twice the first few times, until you learn how little you need. For external use only. Patch test on your inner arm before your first full use and stop if irritation appears.

It suits most hair, but how you use it changes. Thick, dry or coily hair takes it well, even on its own. Fine hair gets weighed down, so cut it with jojoba and keep it on the scalp rather than the lengths.

Color-treated hair is fine. If your scalp runs oily, use it once a week and wash it out the same day.

Yes. Use a small amount on heels, elbows, knees and cuticles, where skin runs dry and rough. Castor is tacky, so it forms a film that slows water loss, and a little goes a long way. Apply it to damp skin at night.

On the face, most people find it too heavy on its own. For external use only. Patch test on your inner arm first, and keep it out of your eyes.

Skin is quick: dry heels and cuticles soften within a week, and brows lie flatter and look glossier in about the same time.

Hair is slow. It grows about half an inch a month whatever you put on it, so judge scalp work at three months, not three weeks. Take a photo of your part line on day one so you have something to compare against.
