Natalia, 26 years old, Moscow.

“My dandruff began to appear in large numbers after I had been on antibiotics for a long time. Most likely the problem was caused by dysbiosis and increased reproduction of the fungus on the head.

I was looking for a simple and effective anti-dandruff remedy and came across a mask recipe with castor oil.

I am satisfied with the result - not only the dandruff disappeared, but the hair also became much softer and acquired the shine that probably was only in childhood.

The only thing that is bad is the difficult washing of the mask from the hair; you have to wash your head two or three times. ”

Annie, 22 years old, St. Petersburg.

“Castor oil combined with pepper tincture was advised to rub a girlfriend in the head to enhance hair growth. And this inexpensive recipe really turned out to be a wonderful salvation for my weak and slowly growing hair.

During the month of application of the mixture, I saw that the hair not only gained vitality and began to grow faster in length, but dandruff, which I had periodically appeared for the last couple of years, disappeared from my head. ”

Yana, 28 years old, Krasnoyarsk.

“I rubbed pure castor oil into the hair roots, wanting to get rid of dandruff. Two procedures were enough for me to understand that this tool does not suit me.

The oily liquid from my thin hair was very poorly washed off, and by the evening after washing my strands looked like icicles. But reading the reviews of others, I begin to understand that, probably, I didn’t do something. ”

Lyudmila, 27 years old, Omsk.

“Castor oil really helps to get rid of dandruff, but a lot of hassle delivers its washing out with strands. At first, I used castor oil in its pure form, and now I mix it with olive oil and a few drops of tea tree ether.

This composition has a more delicate texture, easier to apply to the strands and easier to wash off. And the result exceeds all expectations - not only dandruff is removed, but irritation on the skin also decreases, hair becomes much stronger and softer. ”
