Static hair Instant hair conditioner, frizz serum

Submitted by Gemma

When your hair is a little bit damp after washing, put a small dab of castor oil in your palm and rub you palms together to heat the oil. then just pat the oil onto your tips and damaged areas. It does a better job than my expensive instant conditioner

Bad tip Comments By: lorinka Castor oil will make your hair oily, lifless, flat!   Instead of Castor Oil Comments By: Anon Using botanical, olive or plant oils are better choices than castor oil. These oils pentetrate the hair shaft without weighing down the hair. Great choices: jojoba, almond, grapeseed, lavender, Nexxus Botanic Oil (approx. $10).   Sorry but It wasn't that great Comments By: Coco Ok Gemma.....I tried putting oil in my hair before and it made it the greasiest it's ever been! Maybe it works for your hair <p>P.s. If anyone tries this you should wash the oil out!   Always read the "fine print": Comments By: Cyndi She stressed that she only uses it on the damaged areas/tips. It sounds like a spot application rather than a whole-head treatment (at least without shampooing afterward). Putting it just on the ends should have a much different effect. I have heard olive oil/honey in a 2:1 ratio is also a miracle worker. (Leave in for an hour under a shower cap and wrap a towel hot out of the dryer around the outside, then shampoo out.) If you are out of eggs, like me, the olive oil works well by itself, too.
