CASTOR OIL the magic formula!!!!!


I first heard about the magic formula CASTOR OIL after a page was suggested to me on my facebook. I havent looked back since. I got on and started on the castor oil journey last september but sadly stopped as I couldn’t afford paying 5US dollars for a 50ml bottle of castor oil. it was my bad on not stocking up when I left South Africa for Zimbabwe. after all a 100ml bottle of pure castor oil costs R10. it just didnt make sense that i pay 5 tyms more for half the milliliters. so i
switched to olive oil straight from the kitchen cupboard. olive oil is just as good but ill leave that to the next post. i have started that 12months castor oil challenge and this time im stocked for the whole period so ill take you with me through this journey. during the short period i used castor oil i had NO DANDRUFF what so ever. I used to have a very flaky scalp so I was amused to see none at all. Castor oil is also a hair grower, very good and quick on repairing the hairline. i also learnt that for people like me with very thin eyebrows applying castor oil daily before you go to sleep will help thicken them. so my day will cum when i can go finally get my virgin eyebrows tweezed and shaped as there’s currently and in all my 24 years there has  been nothing to tweeze. Small amounts should be used as it is very thick and can run on your face.

Im also using it on my face as i heard it helps have clear smooth skin. i will post before and after pictures in a months time so you will be able to see the results.

Castor oil comes in different flavours but only PURE Castor oil should be used

Here are the benefits of castor oil.


  • hair growth
  •  eliminates dandruff
  • eyebrow growth
  • clears the skin
  • stomach cramps
  • great for dry skin
  • laxative
  • treats boils, acne and fungal infections
  • helps with constipation
  • anti aging oil(better than in-store creams)
  • helps fade pimple spots and dark marks

REMEMBER a little oil goes a long way!!

That Receding Hairline!!!

A receding hairline is caused by plaiting your TOO TIGHT especially tight cornrows. The tighter the braids or cornrows the more it moves back. Its advisable that you leave that hair out when getting a weave as the hair on the hairline is very weak. Its embarrassing  when your hair blows in the wind and there no hair on that part but don’t worry ladies there are various ways to grow it back.
This is what a receding hair line looks like
Ladies if you hairline looks like this you need to give ur  hair  some rest and treat it. Its pretty obvious whats  causing it to move back so stop getting more and more tight corn rows.
Its accumulates over years or it could have been  caused by just one hairstyle.
 Causes
  • Long term wear of lace wigs
  • Tight cornrows
  • Tight braids
  • Tight weaves
Remedy
Castor oil
 Pure Castor oil should be used and rubbed along the hairline about 3-4 times a week to make it a bit stronger. Its rather thick and small amounts should be used as it can drip down the forehead. I am currently using it myself to repair my hairline.
 Beeswax
Word around the salons of Harare is that beeswax, yes the beeswax used to lock dreads can be used to treat the hairline. I haven’t quite used it myself as I am on the castor oil tip due to its many benefits. Beeswax is very waxy, very think and hard but will melt in your scalp.
 

  Some cases result in a condition called “ Alopecia,” a form of gradual hair loss, caused primarily by pulling force being applied to the hair
Alopecia is the loss of hair. Hair loss can be caused by different reasons, including damage to the hair shaft or follicles.
Lets treat our hair lines before its too late. When its too late it will end up looking like this
