My before and after using castor oil daily
Castor oil! Castor oil! Castor oil!
I and many other relaxed heads (naturals too) have used and found success with castor oil.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil is a well know brand often used for relaxed and natural hair. Many people have reported major hair growth and thickening experiences with it.
I used normal golden brownish castor oil and had just as awesome results so I don't think it matters as much which brand you use.

How do I use castor oil on my hair?
There are many ways of applying castor oil to your hair and not one fixed way that you have to do it. here are a few tips on what usually works best:
Castor oil is usually quite thick: a good tip would be to heat it up a little before using it in order to thin it out a bit.
Castor oil is also an insulator so it keeps moisture locked in. It's important that you make sure that your hair is well moisturised prior to applying it. Either do it right after washing your hair or moisturise your hair thoroughly and then apply it. You can learn how to moisturise your hair here. Another idea would be to use a water spray to lightly spray your hair first.
Castor oil (if you're using the natural kind without any fragrance added) can be a little weird smelling - in order to naturally enhance the smell mix in a little nice smelling oil like grape seed or coconut oil.
Castor oil will weigh your hair down so it may not be the best idea to apply it on a day that you'd like to have body in your hair. if you're wearing a firm style or upstyle then it wouldn't really matter.
A good time to apply it especially taking the above into consideration would be at night before bedtime. You'll give your scalp a chance to absorb it and for it to sink into your hair. If you can, applying some in the morning as well if you're going to be having a protective or up hairstyle could be even better - twice a day is even better than once.
Massage the castor Oil into your scalp when you apply it - castor oil is also very good for hair growth and breakage.

Thickness is beauty when it comes to relaxed hair. Thick hair looks and feels healthier, has more body and feels more natural. When it comes to thickening up your relaxed hair there are a few tips to keep in mind. With my hair journey I focused on the following points:
Don't thin your hair out too much when relaxing it. This will make it more natural and allow it to be healthier.
Use tons of Castor oil!!!! This is the trick of the trade when it comes to hair thickening products. Castor oil is a natural oil so you don't need to worry about any unnecessary products or chemicals going into your hair. It also retails moisture so it's important to moisturise or spritz your hair with eater before massaging some Castor oil into your scalp or applying it to your hair.
Don't use heat tools accessibly. Hot irons, curling irons and blow dryers if used too much dry out and thin out your hair. You need to use them in moderation AND with a good heat protector in order to protect your hair. By going for heat free hair styles and air drying your hair, you can help your hair thicken and become healthier due to less heat damage and breakage.
