Castor oil is a natural oil that is rich in fatty acids and other nutrients that help to moisturize, strengthen and condition the hair. Castor oil is best known for having the amazing ability to promote growth in all hair types. It contains hair growth and regeneration properties and the oil’s triglycerides of ricinoleic acid makes it anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory.
