Struggling with thin, dry hair can feel like a constant battle against brittleness and breakage. Every brush stroke feels like another loss. But with the nurturing touch of Brit Finds Castor Oil, you can begin a gentle journey toward stronger, softer, more Healthy Locks.
Why Castor Oil?
There’s something comforting about castor oil, like giving your hair a quiet moment to breathe and be cared for. Rich in nature’s goodness, it gently sinks into each strand, helping it feel soft, full, and protected. It’s not just about shine, it’s about feeling confident when you run your fingers through your hair.
And while it nourishes your strands, it also soothes your scalp creating a calm, healthy space for new growth. Because when your roots feel safe and supported, your hair grows with ease and every day feels a little more beautiful.
What You'll Need:
- Brit Finds Castor Oil (100ml or 200ml)
- Eyelash applicator (included in the box)
- A carrier oil (optional, such as coconut or jojoba oil)
- Towel or shower cap( Optional but Highly Recommended )
Step 1: Prepare Your Oil Blend
2 parts carrier oil + 1 part Brit Finds Castor Oil.
Castor oil is thick. Mix it with a lighter oil like coconut or jojoba to make it easier to apply and help it absorb better.
Step 2: Apply to the Scalp
Divide your hair into small sections. Gently massage the oil into your scalp using your fingertips, or use the eyelash applicator (included in your Brit Finds box) for small areas like the hairline or thinning spots. This boosts blood flow and feeds your follicles.
Step 3: Nourish the Hair Strands
Gently rub the rest of the oil through the middle and ends of your hair. These parts are usually the driest and need the most care.
Step 4: Let It Penetrate
Cover your hair softly with a towel or shower cap to hold in the warmth. This helps the oil work its magic. Let it sit for 30 minutes, or leave it on overnight for a deeper ritual. Just listen to your scalp if it feels happy and light, you're doing it just right.
Step 5: Rinse and Cleanse
In the morning (or after 30 minutes), wash your hair with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo. Take your time, a gentle lather is enough, but you can rinse twice if it still feels oily. Finish with your favorite conditioner, and let your hair breathe, feel clean, and completely cared for
