I have been losing hair for a long time now due to my bloody thyroid issues. It was quite fine but there was a lot of it, but now I can see my parting is wider, my scalp is starting to show through at the front, and my hairbrush needs cleaning every three days or so. Small handfuls of hair seemed to come out with every shower and my hair was often flat and lifeless. It was stressing me out no end.
I had been Googling ways of possibly helping and so took the plunge and bought some Castor Oil.
Last night I looked like I had stuck my head in a chip pan, it was a bugger to apply (I have just bought some sweet almond oil so I can make it a bit easier to use in future) but once I had put it in a plait it was okay.
Washing it out this morning with my usual Aussie shampoo it felt different already. Soft and healthy (I am due a cut but want to wait till next week when it's my birthday) and, bizarrely, my parting already looks a lot less sparse. I presume the extra conditioning has made the hair already there a bit thicker, which is something I didn't think would be so obviously possible especially not without making it heavy or greasy. I am generally very sceptical of these things and find results are often not a patch on what I might have hoped from reading up first, but not this time!
I am over the moon! Not sure yet if it will encourage growth too but if the success of the first application is anything to go by I might be a rival for Rapunzel by Christmas! If you're in a similar position as me, try it!
