Using Castor Oil in a Hair-Care Routine

Castor oil is a thick carrier oil used to condition hair. If you prefer a rich texture for dry-looking lengths and ends, start with a small amount and adjust to how your hair feels.

What to Look For

Check the ingredient list, bottle size and processing method. Mayan’s Secret Organic Castor Oil, 4 fl oz is cold pressed, unrefined and hexane-free. Read the guide to castor oil processing methods for more context.

Start with a Small Amount

Use sparingly on hair lengths or ends, following the product label. A rich oil can feel heavy if you apply too much. Wash out as needed. Avoid eyes and irritated skin, and stop use if irritation occurs.

Pairing Castor Oil with Other Oils

Jojoba oil is another carrier-oil option for a lighter-feeling routine. Pure rosemary essential oil is different: it is concentrated and must be diluted before topical use. Do not mix equal amounts of essential oil and carrier oil.

Shop the Hair Care Oil Trio

The Castor, Jojoba & Rosemary Hair Care Oil Trio includes three separate 4 fl oz bottles. Follow the bundle’s adult dilution instructions before using rosemary essential oil.
