For those who find it hard to get castor oil off your hair, here’s what you can do:

See to it that your hair is fully wet and not partially wet, before attempting to wash off the castor oil in your hair.

Wash your hair with lukewarm water as it will help open up the pores on the scalp and loosen out all the oil, making it come off more easily.

Since castor oil is hard to come off, you may have to wash your hair twice and thereby diluting your shampoo with some water will make it easier to rake up more lather.

After shampooing your hair, let the shampoo sit in your hair for a few minutes each time, before rinsing of, so it will help loosen out the concentrated and sticky castor oil from the scalp and hair strands. READ MORE – Ayurveda shampoo to stop hair fall
