How to Apply Pure Castor Oil to Hair for Dry Ends
Castor oil is a fixed oil (one that does not evaporate) that is produced from the seeds of a castor oil plant. It has many uses including medicinal. In addition to that, castor oil is often used as a lubricant. It can lubricate anything from an industrial machine to the ends of your hair. In fact, the next time you notice that the ends of your hair are dry or split, pick up a bottle of castor oil and give it a try. Does this Spark an idea?
