Can this oil cover the whole scalp?

No. It is only for the dry edges of the hair. The rest of the scalp is left alone.

Should castor oil stay on overnight?

No. Wash the castor and coconut mix out the same day. The oils are external.

Will the edges grow back from this dab?

No. A tiny oil film can soften dry edges for that day. It is not medicine for hair loss.

A Drop of Castor and Coconut Oil on Hair Edges

A drop of castor oil blended into a little coconut oil is dabbed on dry hair edges only, kept off the rest of the scalp, and washed out the same day.

Castor and coconut oil only on the edges

Castor oil is thick, so this mix uses only a drop or two stirred into a teaspoon of coconut oil. It goes on the dry edges of the hairline, such as the temples and the nape, and nowhere else. The rest of the scalp stays unoiled.

Both oils are external and are washed out the same day. They are not for the eyes, brows, or lashes. A heavy coat is hard to shampoo and can leave the hairline greasy. This dab does not grow a new hairline and is not medicine for bald patches.

Ingredients

2 drops castor oil
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 extra drop of castor oil only if the edges feel very dry

How to prepare

Stir the castor oil into the coconut oil until the mix looks even.
Pick it up on a fingertip or cotton bud so it does not flood the hairline.

How to use

On dry hair, dab the mix only along the edges, not over the whole scalp.
Use the lightest film. Five minutes is enough to mix and place it.
Shampoo it out the same day so the oils do not stay in the hair.

Helpful habits

An old hair scarf keeps coconut oil off collars while you wait to wash.
If the edges still feel greasy after one wash, use less castor oil next time.

Precautions

Keep castor oil and coconut oil away from the eyes. Do not use this mix on lashes or brows.
Do not spread it over the whole scalp, and do not leave it on overnight.
Wash it out the same day. It is not medicine for a receding hairline or hair loss.
