Hair loss may occur if you wear pigtails, braids or cornrows or use tight hair rollers. This is called traction alopecia. Hair loss typically occurs between the rows or at the part where hair is pulled tightly. Castor oil has been used as beauty aid, to soften and treat very rough, dry skin. Its properties as a naturally-produced vegetable oil make it ideal for use on the skin as an emollient, and as a hot oil treatment for dry damaged hair. On the hair, castor oil works to coat the hair shaft and smooth the cuticle layer, sealing in moisture and leaving the hair feeling soft and silky. It is more easily absorbed by the hair, allowing for deeper penetration into the hair shaft.
