In women, a single hair follows a normal life cycle of 4 to 6 years, during which it emerges, grows, and sheds to make way for its replacement. Hormonal imbalances, aging, stress, or harsh scalp products can accelerate hair loss. If you notice thinning, intervene early to restore balance. Sometimes, hair seems stagnant due to brittleness—targeted supplements and care routines often resolve this. At Biba, we've seen castor oil work wonders across all hair types as a natural powerhouse.
Castor oil stands out as a deeply nourishing treatment that revitalizes even the driest, most damaged hair. Rich in essential fatty acids like omegas 3, 6, and 9, it delivers vital nutrients directly to the scalp when massaged in. This nourishes hair follicles, boosts microcirculation, and accelerates growth. Applied before shampooing, it can add 0.5 to 1 cm beyond your hair's typical monthly growth. Explore our detailed guide on applying castor oil for best results.
Castor oil not only promotes growth but also combats hair loss effectively. Scalp issues—from suffocating products and pollution to poor nutrition—often lie at the root. As living tissue, the scalp benefits from castor oil's ability to enhance blood flow and provide protection. Its antifungal and antibacterial properties help prevent and treat conditions like ringworm or folliculitis. Apply twice weekly for at least 30 minutes, then rinse with a gentle shampoo.
