The black castor oil is an elixir for hair and skin. It has plenty of benefits for your skincare and beauty treatments at home.
You’ve almost certainly heard, and probably used, of yellow castor oil. Its properties have been known in our country for decades. However, there is also black castor oil. Here’s the difference.
Yellow castor oil is obtained after cold pressing of castor seeds.
Black castor oil is obtained by roasting the seeds first. The oil is then extracted from them with the help of heat. Contrary to expectations, it is not black in color, but rather caramel. It differs from the classic castor oil, which has a golden color.
Black castor oil is less well known and less research has been done on it. However, many use it in their home beauty treatments.
Black castor oil for fast growth
Black castor oil accelerates hair growth. You can simply add a few drops to your hair shampoo once a week. Another option is to make a mask with egg yolk and butter and stay with it for about 30 minutes. Rinse and you’re done.
Black castor oil for hydration
If you have dry hair, you can use black castor oil in homemade masks. However, it should not dominate, but rather complement. Suitable oils to combine it with are coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil.
Black castor oil for thick eyebrows
Black castor oil can be used both for hair growth and to nourish the eyebrows. This is how. First, thoroughly clean the eyebrow hairs and the area around them. Apply a little black castor oil with a cotton swab. After 5 minutes, wash with a damp cloth.
Black castor oil for acne
Clean your face of makeup and dirt. Put a few drops of black castor oil and rub between your fingers. Apply to the face with gentle massage movements. Stay like this for 5-10 minutes. Soak a towel in hot water and gently wash off the oil. You can do this procedure no more than 2 times a week.
This procedure also helps to erase fine lines.
Black castor oil is often recommended for home treatment of various conditions. Refrain from experimenting without consulting a doctor. Never apply black castor oil to open wounds or if you have recently removed pimples or blackheads from your face.
Pregnant and lactating women should completely avoid the use of black castor oil.
