Organic Castor Oil Hair Treatment– Eco Collective

Please note this oil has a thicker texture and is more viscous than other carrier oils like argan oil or jojoba oil. You can mix with other oils to dilute, or use on its own. If you do a mask or scalp treatment, consider following it with a clarifying shampoo (washing one or two times, as needed).

Fine to medium straight hair: use as a deep pre-wash conditioning treatment to protect the ends of hair, applying to bottom 2-3 inches of hair shaft.

Medium to thick straight/ wavy hair: Apply through hair from scalp to tip for an intense pre-shampoo treatment. Add heat or steam for deeper penetration into hair cuticle.

Wavy to loose curls: Mix a few drops into your conditioner during hot and humid summer months.

Curly to tightly coiled: Apply castor oil as a moisturizing treatment as needed.

We recommend storing your oil in a light-proof bottle the provided aluminum bottle or an amber glass bottle with a dropper lid, like this one to protect it. Castor oil can cause stains, so be mindful of the towels you use when doing the treatment. We recommend a patch test first for potential allergies and skin reactions.
