This castor oil hair mask offers a deep treatment for your hair and scalp, leaving you with soft and silky locks.
Castor oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, which is why DIYers so love it. It’s known to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss, making it a valuable addition to your hair care routine.
For this DIY hair mask, we’ve combined castor oil with coconut oil to create a nourishing blend that will leave your hair feeling rejuvenated.
DIY Castor Oil Hair Mask
You will need castor oil, coconut oil, and optional essential oils for this DIY.
Measure the coconut oil and place it in a small heat-proof bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt.
Add the castor oil to the coconut oil and mix well. If you’re using essential oils, combine them with the castor oil.
Application
- Part your hair into four sections for easier application.
- Apply the castor oil mixture to the roots of each section, ensuring thorough coverage.
- Use a comb to distribute the mask from the roots to the tips of your hair. If you have longer hair, consider doubling the recipe.
- Cover your hair with a warm towel or a plastic shower cap to help the mask penetrate deeply.
- Allow the mask to work its magic for at least 20 minutes.
Rinsing:
- After the designated time, wash your hair with your favorite shampoo to remove the mask. You may need to rinse your hair twice to remove all residues.
- Follow up with your preferred hair care routine, such as an apple cider vinegar rinse to restore pH balance and a flaxseed hair gel for added hydration and styling.
