6 Questions
Why did you choose this?

I've been using this for my husbandand and it does help the joint pain.He noticed the difference

Used to make a DIY skin care product.

For pain or message

To help with aging skin, malesma, skin tags, thinning hair

why can't you take this castor oil internally?

Best Answer:  I and my husband takes this internally for over 2 years

if i do use this product on my hair, do i put it on dry and not wash hair first? then wash it? or just leave it in?

  In my opinion it depends on why you are applying the Castor Oil. If it is for a pre-poo (done on dry hair), I would mix this with a one of the lighter oils, like grapeseed oil. Heat them in a microwaveable bowl just a little. Mix them well and apply to your hair. Massage into your scalp and throughout your hair. Put on a shower cap for about an 30 minutes. Or under a steamer or hood dryer on low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then cleanse as usual. If you are using this as an after wash conditioner and plan to leave it in to provide conditiong to your hair, then again mix in a small amound with another light carrier oil (grapeseed, jojba, argan) or try mixing in a small amount into your leave-in coditioner. Apply lightly mostly from mid shaft to the ends of your hair. Remember this is a heavy carrier oil. So use the "light hand" as opposed to the "heavy hand" for your use with this natural product. So yes, there is a time Castor oil is used on dry and yes, there is a time for wet hair application in conjunction with it serving leave-in duty. It is a favorite for all hair types but in particular those folks with thicker and/or kinky-licious hair!

  This oil is too thick to leave in. I use it as a pre-wash treatment. I add a drop or two to coconut oil, heat it up and apply it to my scalp, massage it in to my scalp and all over my hair.

how do i heat up the coconut oil?
after i wash off the castor oil, do i use any other product like shampooing or conditioning?

  I cannot give any info regarding this quedtion since I have never used it on my hair.

can this product be used internally?

Best Answer:  I do not know if this product can be used internally. I do not use it that way. I only apply it to my skin. I would contact the manufacturing company and ask them.

does this product go to the roots of your hair and how long do you leave it on?

  In my opinion, this is an oil that is good for massaging your scalp. It is also good for the ends of your hair as a sealant. I would like to caution that you do keep in my mind that this is a thick oil. It is not able to penetrate through the cortex of the hair. So those with fine strands and thin density of hair should use this oil sparingly if it to be incorporated in the styling stage and thinned out with a much lighter oil or unless this is part of a deep hair treatment that you will later wash out of your hair.

  Customer,

I have a thick grade of hair. I wanted you to know that from the start. If your hair is thin don't use it. I would recommend grapeseed, jojoba or avocado oil. I love castor oil, but even with thick hair, I don't use it heavy. Castor oil is one of the heaviest oil, out of them all. I do use black castor oil as well. I mix the two to make a better balance. It does go straight to the roots well, and helps re-grow thinning areas. You don't have to wash it out. Hope this helps you.

  Hi - Sorry I can't be of help with your question. I bought and never used. Intention was to make home-made cosmetics but got side-tracked with family responsibilities and the castor oil is still sitting on a shelf

Is this potable? Or would I be poisoned?
