I made 15 mistakes with castor oil before I saw a difference 🌿 10 years on, tried tested and researched. Initial mistakes using castor oil: 🌿 I gave it 3 days, not 3 months. I stopped after a week because the mirror looked the same. 🌿 I only used it "once in a while". Two big sessions a month instead of small, regular ones. 🌿 I bought the cheapest bottle. I never checked how it was pressed or processed. 🌿 I used the wrong type for my goal. Cold-pressed and JBCO feel very different on fine vs thick hair. 🌿 I used way too much. I drenched my hair, then gave up because it wouldn't wash out. 🌿 I put it on my lengths, not my scalp. Then I said "it didn't do anything." 🌿 I skipped the massage. I dabbed it on and walked away. 🌿 I never patch tested. I tried a new area for the first time on my face. 🌿 I copied someone else's routine. Their hair, skin and lifestyle were nothing like mine. 🌿 I kept switching methods. A new ritual every week meant I couldn't tell what was working. 🌿 I didn't take photos. I said "nothing changed" but had no starting point to compare. 🌿 I blamed the oil for everything. Sleep, stress and diet were part of the picture too. 🌿 I stored it badly. The bottle sat on a sunny windowsill. 🌿 I never read the safety info. Some people need to check with their GP first, for example if pregnant or on medication. 🌿 I followed the steps without knowing why. Once I understood what each step was for, I noticed the difference. Which of these have you done? 🙋♀️ Save this before you decide castor oil "doesn't work."
