Rescue Your Bleach-Damaged Hair with Castor Oil

Rescue Your Bleach-Damaged Hair with Castor Oil

While golden locks are undeniably alluring, and bleaching can give you that coveted sun-kissed look, it's important to consider the long-term effects. The reality is that bleaching comes with a hidden price tag for your hair's health.

Over time, bleached hair often becomes dry, brittle, and susceptible to breakage. This damage can make it challenging to achieve the glossy, healthy appearance you desire. Moreover, it can hinder hair growth, making it difficult to attain and maintain longer lengths.

As a result, you may find yourself caught in a cycle of expensive treatments and products. From re-bonding procedures to specialized care items, the costs can quickly add up as you attempt to repair and maintain your bleached tresses.


IAMA Castor oil is a safe, low cost and completely natural way to treat your hair and encourage growth if its been damaged through long term bleaching and high lighting. 


Here's how it works!

  1. Castor Oil hydrates your hair

    Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid that penetrates your hair shaft more deeply than many other hair oils. The small molecular size of ricinoleic acid enables it to enter through the hair cuticle (the outer layer of the hair). Once inside, it adds moisture within the cortex (the inner layer of the hair shaft). This helps bleached hair, which often has a raised, damaged cuticle that leads to more rapid moisture loss.

  2. Castor Oil rebuilds your hair structure 

    Castor oil contains vitamin E and omega-6 fatty acids, which can help stimulate protein synthesis in your hair follicles, potentially leading to stronger new hair growth.

  3. Castor Oil rebalances your scalp to encourage new hair growth 

    A healthy scalp is crucial for hair growth and overall hair health. Castor oil's anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe an irritated scalp, which is common after bleaching. Its antimicrobial properties may help combat fungal infections that can impede hair growth. Moreover, castor oil can help balance the scalp's pH and oil production.
