Can castor oil cause hair fall?

Castor oil is very thick and sticky, bhai. If you put it directly on your scalp and then rub it hard, your hair will break and fall. Mix it with coconut oil and apply gently, don't blame the oil without using it right.

Yes, if it is too thick, it can weigh down hair and cause breakage. Always dilute castor oil with some light coconut or olive oil.

Applying thick castor oil can block scalp pores and cause hair fall if not washed properly. I feel keeping up with light daily walks and staying active helps blood circulation in the scalp much better than heavy oils.

Oh, this happened to me too! I applied pure castor oil directly and lost so much hair while trying to wash it out because it's so sticky. Now I always mix it with warm coconut oil and it works beautifully without any fall.

While castor oil has ricinoleic acid which is good, its heavy density can cause acute hair felting or tangling if not used correctly, leading to sudden shedding. If you are experiencing severe hair fall, it is best to consult a dermatologist to find the actual root cause.

Honestly, in our busy schedules, washing off sticky castor oil takes three rounds of harsh shampoo, which itself ruins hair. If you must use it, just use two drops diluted in a lighter oil once a week. Otherwise, stick to a simple hair serum.
