Key word: BLACK
Cold pressed castor oil has been a regularly, relied upon organic preventative medicine for ages, among my own circles. But, black castor oil caught my attention much more recently, specifically when the Rona hit the ground running, and the vaxes chasing it close behind.
Among the many after-effects was hair loss. Folks I knew personally experienced this, and many within their circles of kith and kin were reporting it as well. Sometimes it developed right away and for others, it was many months into recovery.
Apparently, it was non-discriminating, affecting both men and women.
I've never had the Rona and never been vaxed for it. For that matter, I'd not the flu or even a garden variety cold for several years before the Rona invaded humanity. So my research on the aftershocks of the virus was propelled out of both curiosity and concern for friends with thinning hair, among the other Rona challenges.
Google responded to my query with a recurring report of help for hair loss that included hair loss due to Rona infection, which was black castor oil.

What’s the difference?
Here ya go, via Google...
- Regular Castor Oil: Known for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for skin and hair care.
- Black Castor Oil: Believed to promote hair growth, improve scalp health, and potentially help with scarring and stretch marks due to its higher pH level and ash content.

Testimonies
I have no personal experience with this. Even when I received chemo and radiation during cancer treatment, my hair thinned but in most part, stayed attached to my head and remained very healthy. However, there are numerous accounts from others who've submitted their testimonies on multiple social platforms that are easy to find and note.
Also, when I first researched the info on black castor oil for hair loss, the testimonies that populated my screen the fastest were those who'd used it to increase the hair in their eyebrows and lashes.

Here are a few (paraphrased) from Reddit...
- "I used it to regrow my eyebrows with daily application."
- An over-50 female with fine hair, experienced hair-thinning after chemotherapy, specifically noticing an increase in her part. Over a two-year period of consistently applying black castor oil, the part narrowed.
- One responder reported having very fine hair and applied black castor oil in the evenings and gently washed it out in the mornings. After four months she stated, "I have a ton of new/baby hairs!"
- Another user wrote, “I don't know about head hair but my eyebrows got noticeably fuller with daily application.”
- Last, "Noticeable fullness in eyebrows and eyelashes using it 3-4 a week, leaving it on overnight. My eyebrows have not completely recovered from overplucking, but I’ve only been using it for 2 months. Eyelashes have always been thick but I have bald spots where they are a little thinner and it’s noticeable with mascara. Now I have no bald spots. As for scalp- it really helps my flaking and itching, but I have not used it consistently enough to see hair growth. I first looked into castor oil because I noticed my hair was thinning."
Be aware
Both types of castor oil are very thick, and should be used sparingly. To thin it is a simple process, just place a small amount in your palms, and rub them together until the oil thins to your desired consistency. If applied thick, it can cause clogged pores, and over saturation of very porous hair hair, especially for natural blondes.
Best results were reported by those who used it daily over a period of several weeks, and sometimes months.
If you tend to have sensitive skin, or dermal allergy reactions, it’s best to test a small area first to see how your skin will tolerate it.
Where to find it
Black castor oil is available in many markets, department stores and pharmacies. It’s also available on eBay and below is my Amazon Associates link if you’re an Amazon fan.
