Hair loss or alopecia is something that affects millions of men and women, everywhere in the globe. Generally, it is normal to lose 80 to 100 strands of hair a day. But it becomes a matter of some concern when washing or combing one's hair begins to see more and more strands and the scalp begins to be visible in some areas.
Persistent hair loss leads to thinning of the hair as the hairline recedes, appearing areas of baldness. But, there are a number of natural ways to treat the problem using home remedies such as castor oil or onion. Today, let's learn about castor oil or castor oil for hair loss.
First of all clarify that if I write about this oil it is because I use it with good results myself and wanted to share my experience with you.
Is castor oil effective for hair loss?
The potent antibacterial and antifungal properties of castor oil treat the follicle, dandruff and other scalp infections that lead to hair loss.
Ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that contains omega-9, stimulates blood circulation that supplies nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles. This promotes strong and healthy hair growth.
Ricinoleic acid balances the pH of the scalp and replenishes natural oils, repairing damaged hair roots.
The antioxidants in castor oil support the structure of keratin in the hair to make it stronger and softer. This helps prevent breakage and premature hair loss.
How to use castor oil for hair loss.
Castor oil can be used alone or mixed with other ingredients as an effective natural treatment for hair loss. I usually use it alone, it also helps to comb the hair since it is left as if you had put a lacquer, but it is interesting to mix with other products that can enhance the results.
