Hollywood BeautyCastor Oil Hair Treatment with Mink Oil, 7.5 Ounce

Update May 2, 2013: used product for a month (April 5 - May 2 (Friday will be 4 weeks)) and have had an inch of hair growth, an a lot more new hair growth, soft manageable hair. I used the straightener the first time in a couple months on Monday (April 20), and the hair at the ends remained soft to the touch. I recommend this product and will continue to use and monitor the hair growth. Sorry such a long review but feel it can be helpful to others.I was going to wait for a month to leave this review, but feel have to do it now. I have been using this for 1.5 weeks. I purchased after watching you tube videos as I want my hair to grow long and strong. I have long hair and cut myself at home, wear clip in extensions, and color my hair. My hair is still healthy, but my scalp is itchy. It does not feel dry and I do not have dandruff, just an itchy scalp. I also use Garnier Fructis Moroccan oil. I understand the best stuff to use is 100% natural oil, but living on a budget opted for this product.Pluses: great for relieving dry scalp, leaves hair soft and manageable, can be used several days (unless using a lot), hair has grown some also, not much but has.Negatives: can leave hair greasy, hard to wash out (if use to much), certain shampoos do not wash it out, and said to dry hair (I did not have this issue). Please read on and will tell you how I use it and how to wash it out easily.I do not use it like the you tube videos state. I use during the week, because unemployed and go to school online and do not use over the weekend due to when I go out and shop.1. Start Sunday with it (morning if not going anywhere, if so Sunday night). I use a dime size amount and go through the ends first and then just use the rest and massage the scalp. Starting at the top (middle part and to the crown and underneath towards the back and sides, and then comb through, it can feel greasy and look like it it starting to get greasy. My hair does not look greasy, however does feel greasy at the roots and the ends.2. I then put a braid in hair until ready to go to bed, take out comb, and go to bed3. Monday I wash out, before doing this I will ad more using the method stated above, will braid hair and do my cleaning (however by this time it will feel greasy and look greasy). Before getting my bath/shower I will take braid out and comb hair.4. Washing the product out, I will put head underwater and massage scalp first. Get my shampoo and wash out, however if your shampoo looses its lather, you will need to wash a second time. If you have used way to much, it will take an extra day to get completely out and washing it 2X, although it does not look to greasy your can feel it and will be conscious of it.5. After washing and rinsing for the 2nd time, I add conditioner as usual, starting at my ends and then working through the scalp and the length of hair. Rinsing the conditioner out is the last thing I do before getting out of bath/shower.6. I comb hair wet after dressing and towel drying the ends. I know they say not to comb hair wet, I like to and use wide tooth comb and gentle if any knots. Although usually no knots and hair looks great, scalp feels good, hair is shiny and very soft.After hair is 90 percent dry I use the Garnier Fructis Moroccan oil starting at the ends and ad to scalp (should use just a small amount or this can make the hair look greasy). Comb and I am done, unless sometimes use straighter, because I have a tiny bit of wave.7. Repeat these steps on Tuesday and Thursday. Wash hair on Friday and then do nothing on the weekend with due to going out and shop. Sunday begins my routine. However you will have to adjust and work out your own routine or what is best for you. Forgot to mention my hair type is very fine, however told by several hair dressers in the past I have a lot for it being fine.

I started using this product as a styling gel, not realizing castor oil is also a great hair treatment. It offers a superior hold compared to other gels. After showering, I apply it, and it leaves my hair shiny without drying out or getting crusty by midday. Even the next day, my hair feels soft, healthy, and manageable.I know it’s not the "recommended" method, but with my very thick, wavy hair, I’ve used it alongside a blow dryer or straightener to get the style I love—and it works like a charm! It holds perfectly, leaves my hair softer, shinier, and looking amazing all day long.

I adore this oil! in just three weeks my hair has gone from frizzy, stringy and full of knots to soft and sleek. I can go all day with my hair down on a windy afternoon without brushing my hair and can finger through it without a single snarl. The only thing I dont like is that it hasnt seemed to add any thickness to my hair like some people have experienced so I dont know if I need to just wait longer or I dont get that benefit. This is how I use it:I wash my hair on Sunday morning and that night after its totally dry I apply it to my scalp and ends rubbing it in. I think hit it with a blow dryer on high heat for about 30 seconds just to melt the oil and get it to really soak into my scalp and hair. I then wash my hands and face really well, using a strong toner around my hair line to help prevent any breakouts since a lot of reviews I saw before using this said it can cause bad under the skin painful breakouts. I throw it up in a bun and sleep on it. I then wash my hair every day for about 3 or 4 days until its out of my hair. I pair it up with Orangix Volume shampoo and Biolage Metrix conditioner (the best on the planet). The days I dont have the oil in my hair I dont wash it every day but get it wet and apply argon oil all over my hair (avoiding about 2" from my scalp since I have naturally pretty oily hair). Repeat each week.I also use it every day on my eyebrows by first brushing my brows with an old toothbrush to help stimulate the area then use a que-tip to apply all over rubbing it in and really focusing on the thinner areas. I have seen a huge improvement in my brow growth and a lot of friends have commented on how great they are looking!I would totally recommend this to anyone looking to repair their hair, really condition it, and help resolve any bare spots in their brows!I also bought this exact product from Amazon and got it within 3 days! Super fast shipping

I am in love with my castor oil! its so amazing it made my hair so healthy. It came super quick, with no cracks or breaks. i really do think this is amazing for anyone who wants to get there hair healthy again. i use it about 1-2 times a week. i put it in before my shower, if I'm showering at night, then just rinse it out. If I'm showering in the morning i will put it in over night. I put it in the tips of my hair and rub it into my scalp. If you do it over night make sure to really rinse it out or it will stay in your hair and make it kind of gross, like when you use too much product, but if you wash it out you'll be fine. I love it so much i have told about 10 friends to get it. It also smells so amazing! i also didn't expect it to be so big for such a great price.
