There are actually two views amongst dermatologist about the effectiveness of castor oil in hair loss, some supports whereas some don’t. But the biologically there are few good properties of castor oil. All the below factors are helpful in preventing hair loss which are properties of castor oil.
In other hands, castor oil contains omega 6 fatty acids and proteins also which are very helpful for preventing hair loss. It also contains ricinoleic acid, very important nutrient for good hair growth. The combination of all ingredients makes castor oil a very unique and robust product used to treat hair loss. Castor oil also has antioxidants which prevent hair from getting frizzy and keeps it lustrous, smooth and shiny.
Few dermatologists are against this, they say castor oil also gives the false effect of hair thickening. As castor oil sticks to hairs and cause thickening which is temporary.
Castor oil has not undergone any clinical trials. Even though there is no research conducted on the effectiveness of castor oil. However, in 30 years of my dermatological practice, I have not seen a single patient that has experienced side effects of castor oil. So, even I have to say that there is no proven study about the effectiveness of castor oil in hair loss; but, there is no harm too, so you can use it.

Some potential side effects of castor oil on hair include the following.
Besides, it could become difficult to remove the oil from your scalp and strands.
Many patients also ask us about the side effects of Jamaican black castor oil for hair. Some of them may include nausea, abdominal cramping, vomiting, etc. when taken orally.
The mechanism of castor oil depends on different hair types. There are three types of castor oils, which are used for hair care.
It is extracted directly from the castor seed, and there is no heat involved in this process of making oil. If you have curly hair, It is recommended to use unrefined, hexane-free organic castor oil, as it is less alkaline.
Ashes of the roasted castor seeds are added to the oil which gives black color to the oil. If you have straight hair, you are more likely to benefit from this oil. It is better at penetrating and cleansing as well.
Made by hydrogenating pure castor oil, mostly used in cosmetics and polishes.
When using castor oil for hair fall and hair thinning, you must remember that a little bit goes a long way. Avoid overdoing it or getting it in your eyes. Firstly, you need to warm the castor oil by rubbing it between your palms and then work it through your roots. Massage it on your scalp for 20 minutes and then wash it off with a clarifying shampoo. It’s recommended that you use this oil, once a week, for strong hair growth.
Castor oil can be used to trigger hair growth, but for severe hair fall and bald spots, it’s best to get medical treatments because there may be an underlying issue. If you are still in the early stages of hair fall then you can use castor oil to clean hair follicles and promote strong hair growth.
However, if you’re suffering from advanced hair loss home remedies may prove ineffective for you. In such a scenario it is always best to consult a dermatologist for the right hair care regimen.
