Castor oil is nothing short of a miracle worker for your hair. Rich, nourishing, and deeply restorative, it has the power to transform even the most damaged, lackluster locks into soft, shiny strands. It also works wonders for scalp health—whether you struggle with dryness, flakiness, or excess oil.
But here’s the key: results come from using it the right way. That means knowing how often to treat your hair based on your unique hair type and needs.
Let’s dive in.
Dry, Damaged, or Thinning Hair – 2x per week
If your hair feels brittle, fragile, or thin, it’s craving hydration and repair. iAMA Castor Oil is packed with fatty acids that penetrate deep into the hair shaft, helping to restore strength and reduce breakage.
✨ How to use it: Apply a castor oil hair mask once or twice a week. This gives your strands the intense nourishment they need, preventing split ends and leaving your hair stronger over time.
Oily Hair, Oily Scalp & Dry Ends – 2x per month
If you have oily roots but dry, frazzled ends, you may hesitate to use oil. But oily hair is often a sign of imbalance. Used correctly, iAMA Castor Oil helps restore equilibrium.
✨ How to use it: Apply sparingly, focusing on the scalp and ends. Wash out thoroughly with a natural shampoo. Over time, your scalp will produce less excess oil, while your ends stay hydrated.
Normal Hair – 1x per week
If your hair is already balanced and healthy, you’ve got flexibility. A regular castor oil treatment will keep your strands glossy and resilient.
✨ How to use it: Treat yourself to a weekly iAMA Castor Oil mask. Your hair will soak up the nutrients, leaving it radiant and strong without overloading it.
Curly Hair – 24 hours before wash day
Curly hair thrives on moisture. Without it, curls lose their bounce and definition. Because curly textures are often washed less frequently, castor oil is the perfect pre-wash treatment.
✨ How to use it: Apply iAMA Castor Oil to your curls at least 24 hours before washing. This keeps them soft, springy, and frizz-free without weighing them down.
Coloured or Chemically Treated Hair – 1x per week
Coloring and bleaching strip the hair of essential nutrients, leaving it dry and fragile. Castor oil replenishes what’s lost and helps protect your color.
✨ How to use it: Use a weekly castor oil mask to keep your color vibrant and your strands strong. It helps prevent breakage and dullness, making treated hair look healthier.
How Long Does Castor Oil Take to Rebalance the Scalp?
Castor oil is famous for helping bring the scalp back into balance, but how long does it take to see results?
The timeline depends on your starting point and hair type, but here’s what you can expect:
Immediately
From the very first use, castor oil begins working. Its antifungal and antimicrobial properties help combat buildup, irritation, and dandruff, often providing quick relief from itchiness or dryness.
1–2 Weeks
With regular treatments, your scalp feels calmer and more hydrated. The fatty acids in iAMA Castor Oil penetrate the skin, helping regulate oil production and soothe irritation.
4–6 Weeks
By this stage, many people notice their scalp feels healthier, less oily or flaky, and more balanced overall. Your hair may also look shinier, stronger, and less prone to breakage.
2 Months
Consistent use allows deeper changes. Your scalp and hair are in a state of renewal, with natural oils balanced and hydration levels improved. You may start to notice thicker, fuller-looking hair.
3 Months
This is where the real transformation happens. Skin and hair work in cycles of 45–90 days, so by three months, your scalp has had time to fully absorb the benefits. Your hair and skin are now thriving—hydrated, nourished, and visibly healthier.
