My Experience:La Flora Organics Castor Oil comes in a 200 ml white colored plastic bottle with a screw cap and there is a nozzle attached to the bottle which helps to control the amount of oil to dispense. The packaging is absolutely travel-friendly. No scope for wastage. It has no artificial perfumes and colorants.Once you apply the oil you immediately notice the smell. The fragrance is quite strong and sometimes it makes me unpleasant.
The Application:I've used it both for my hair and skin. Castor oil is also high in omega 9 fatty acids, which are nourishing to the hair and the follicle, as well as the surrounding skin. However, more I like to use it on my dry hair. I have drier, little wavy medium length hair that tends to tangle very easily. Castor oil is very thick in consistency and a little bit goes a long way. I apply this oil with a mix of extra-virgin olive oil or organic cold pressed coconut oil. When I felt that my hair ends were too dry then I applied 3 to 4 drops of castor oil to keep my hair moisturized, and it gives it a really healthy shine too.How I apply the oil for Hair:– I take about 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a bowl and heat it for about 15 seconds. After that mix 1/2 tablespoons of castor oil. The amount of oil required depends on the length of your hair.– Then dip my fingers into the oil and then massage my scalp.– Once I've evenly applied and massaged the oil all over my scalp, then I apply the oil to the rest of my hair. I pay more attention to the roots and mydry ends.– Then wrap a hot towel around my head and leave it on for about 30-45 minutes. Sometimes I don’t follow this step and just leave the oil on for about 1-2 hours before washing my hair. Instead of a hot towel, even a shower cap will work to help keep the heat in.– I usually have to wash my hair with shampoo twice to get all the oil off; after which I only apply conditioner to the ends of my hair. You will notice that your hair doesn't really need much conditioner after a good hot olive oil massage.–Let my hair dry naturally.
Castor oil is high in ricinoleic acid. This can help keep any fungus or bacteria from inhibiting hair growth. Since the oil is also very thick, it may help to prevent hair loss simply by helping to coat the hair and protect it from falling out. How I apply the oil for Skin

La Flora Organics Castor Oil is now one of the main oil of my OCM. It helping to keep my skin looking healthy and nourished.I also use it for my eyebrows and edges.
