Castor oil prevents and remedies hair loss due to Its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It enhances the health of the hair follicles and, in turn, also promotes hair growth. As kinky coily hair type tends to break more often than other curly hair types due to their natural dryness, Castor oil is an ideal ingredient!
Apricot oil seals in moisture and absorbs water from the air’s humidity, maintaining hydration in the hair and scalp.
Lavender essential oil is a hair growth-promoting agent and can also grow thicker and faster hair than normal.

Use during your styling routine to define your kinks and coils and retain moisture in your hair. After showering, or refreshing your hair with water, conditioning mist or leave-in conditioner, apply the Afro Kinky Castor Hair Oil to seal in the added moisture. Pour a few drops on your palms and rub them only to the ends of your hair. When applying the product, detangle softly and style your hair as desired.
As an intensive hair oil treatment:
Oils can be always used as an intensive treatment too! Rub the hair oil through your hair and scalp and let the treatment sit for 30 min or overnight for very damaged hair using our Microfibre Turban and wash out in the morning. If you have very thick hair and you find that products won't absorb that easily into your hair, you can try a hot oil treatment. Heat the oil slightly before application. This will give you an extra nourishment and conditioning boost!
As a pre-poo treatment:
Before your wash day, pre-poo your hair with hair oil to protect your hair against any damages that shampooing may cause. Apply a small handful of oil through your scalp and hair, and let it sit through the night or at least half an hour before showering.
We know that good afro hair products that moisturize super-tight coily hair can be hard to find. With great moisture retention properties, our Afro Kinky Castor Hair Oil keeps your 4c hair or kinky hair moisturized for a long time. It is rich in excellent sealing oil for 4c hair, such as Castor Oil, which is a great oil for high porosity hair that tends to lose moisture quickly.
How to use castor oil on 4c hair?
Castor oil is one of the best oils to grow natural hair but it also makes the hair noticeably healthier-looking within a few months of use. You can use castor hair oil as a pre-poo treatment to protect your hair before your wash day or as a styling method to seal in added moisture. However, If you're interested in using castor oil for hair growth, remember to rub it also into your scalp. You can also try our Kinky Hair Oil Kit to cover all the basics, a daily hair oil, hair growth oil and a scalp oil treatment.
Which hair oil should I choose, Wavy, Curly or Kinky?
Our Afro Kinky Castor Hair Oil is designed for textured type 4 hair that has challenges to maintain moisture in the hair. It contains thick oils that help to detangle and soften tight hair textures, such as kinky and coily hair. If you are looking for hair oil for curly hair, but don't have very thick or coarse hair, try our Moisturizing Curly Hair Oil, which has a lighter consistency than our kinky curly hair oil but can moisturize the hair from inside the hair shaft. If you have fine wavy curly hair, we recommend trying our Weightless Wavy Hair Oil, which only contains lightweight hair oils that controls frizz and split ends without weighing your hair down.
Do I need to use a leave-in conditioner before the Afro Kinky Castor Hair Oil?
We recommend using the LOG or LOC method, which means first to apply a leave-in conditioner (L), then hair oil (O) and, lastly, curl cream (C) or gel (G) if you want to add hold to the look. However, this is optional and not necessary for all hair types. Since oils are hydrophobic (water-repelling), it is important to have your hair well hydrated before using hair oils. Especially if you have dry, coarse coily hair that has challenges keeping well hydrated. Applying a hydration + oil combo will keep your hair moisturized for days.
