Oral Castor Oil

I have tried it. I want to be very clear I don’t have androgenic hair loss, or if I do I’m in the early stages.

I noticed thinning of my hair a couple of years ago and it has came and went, sometimes it’s worse sometimes it improves. Turned out it was mostly related to a scalp condition and stress/diet.

I did start with oral castor oil maybe 8-10 weeks ago and my hair has been growing absolutely insane fast. I went to the barber a month ago and got waaaaay shorter than I asked for yet my hair has almost recovered. Usually it would take at least 4 months. I shit you not. I know this because I dyed my hair a year ago and it took almost a year to get rid of all the coloring and for it to grow out.

I have taken antifungal and took care of my scalp during this period so it is definitely possible castor oil didn’t do anything. That being said, I’ve got my first chest hair coming out, my facial hair now needs to be trimmed everyday contrary to twice a week and I’ve been told my eyebrows look thicker. I’ve pretty much stopped seeing 10-20+ hairs on my pillow or in the shower and now it’s more like 2-5. That might be the antifungal tho.

For reference I’ve taken it almost everyday with at least one meal per day, usually a teaspoon, sometimes more.

Be cautious though I’ve heard long term use of it can mess up your gut muscles or something since it acts as a laxative.
