Castor Oil Challenge Fall 2014 – REGISTRATION

The challenge will begin on 1 Sept 2014 and ends on 1 Dec 2014.

Women participating will dedicate themselves to consistent use of castor oil in their weekly regimen.
 Rubbing castor oil on your scalp and the roots of your hair will regenerate new hair growth within months. This will also thicken thinning hair. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungicidal properties of Ricinoleic Acid in castor oil protects the scalp and hair from infections which can cause hair loss. The Omega-9 fatty acids in castor oil also nourish the hair and prevent the scalp from drying. Castor oil is a humectant as it draws moisture into the hair and skin. Applying castor oil on hair will keep it looking soft, shiny and strong. 

Challenge Goals

The goal of this challenge is to grow your hair thick & long over a 3 month period. While we understand that your hair will not grow to waist length in 3 months, we know that with consistent use of castor oil you WILL reap great benefits. This challenge is our way of motivating you to partake in a routine healthy hair regimen using castor oil and we hope that you will be motivated enough to continue this regimen after the challenge.

• Where can I buy Castor Oil?
  • You can get castor oil at many places – Beauty Supply Stores, Wholefoods, Trader Joes, Natural/Health Food Stores, Online (Amazon, Vitamin Shoppe and many other places).
• I purchased “castor oil” but it looks like hair grease, can I use this?
  • If the ingredients say anything more than castor oil and maybe a few other natural oils, then I advise you not use it. Some companies have hair grease, with petroleum and/or mineral oil in it, but call it “Castor Oil” because the product does contain castor oil. For this challenge, we are using pure/organic liquid castor oil. Using Coconut Jamaican Black Castor oil or Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil is fine because these are all natural.
