What are the benefits of Patanjali castor oil for hair? - #10505
I’ve been dealing with hair fall and dryness for a while now, and someone recently suggested using Patanjali castor oil for hair care. I’ve heard that castor oil has a range of benefits, but I want to know more specifically about Patanjali’s version. What are the benefits of Patanjali castor oil for hair, and how effective is it for common hair problems like dandruff, thinning, and breakage? From what I’ve read, castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, which is known to improve scalp health by reducing inflammation and promoting blood circulation. Does Patanjali castor oil provide the same benefits, and is it good for stimulating hair growth? I’ve also heard it’s highly moisturizing—does it work well for people with dry, brittle hair, or is it better suited for oily scalp types? Another concern is about how to use this oil correctly. Should Patanjali castor oil be applied directly to the scalp, or is it more effective when mixed with other oils like coconut or almond oil? How often should it be used—daily, weekly, or less frequently? Should it be left overnight, or is a few hours enough for the oil to work? I’m also curious if it’s good for other hair-related issues. For instance, does Patanjali castor oil help reduce dandruff or protect against split ends? Are there any other benefits, such as improving hair texture or adding shine? If anyone has used Patanjali castor oil for hair care, I’d love to know your experience. Did it help reduce hair fall, improve scalp health, or make your hair stronger? Are there any tips or precautions to follow while using it, like avoiding over-application or washing it out with specific shampoos?
