Ingredients

Castor Oil
Warm Water
Shower cap
Bonnet
Sweet Oil for smell(optional)
Eye Bottle Dropper
Towel

Method

Step 1: Put the jar of Castor Oil into the warm water, and leave it there for two to four minutes

Step 2: Once the oil is warm, pour it into a small bowl. 

Step 3: Pour the oil into a small bottle with an eye dropper

Stewp 4: Damp hair with tap water before applying the oil.  You canalso apply castor oil to dry hair, dampening your hair may help the oil absorb better. A quick way to dampen your hair is to fill a spray bottle with water, and spray just your scalp. Your hair should just be a little damp, not dripping wet.

Step 5: Cover your shoulders with a towel

Step 6: Use an eye dropper to drip the oil onto various points on your scalp. Do not use too much oil; a little bit goes a long way. 

Step 7: Use your fingers to spread the oil between your hair roots and across your scalp. Massage your head with your fingertips using small, circular motions.

Ste 8:  Apply the oil to the rest of your hair. Scoop a little bit more oil onto your fingers, and rub it between your palms. Then, run your hands across your hair. Use your fingers to comb your hair; this helps distribute the oil.

Step 9: Cover your hair with a shower cap.  The shower cap will trap the heat inside

Ste 10: Wrap your hair with a towel or cotton shirt over the shower cap and let it sit for 30 minutes to 4 hours or over night.

Step 11: Rinse hair out with a gently shampoo.

Step 12: for best results, do your oil treatment atleast twice a week.
