A user is experiencing increased hair shedding after using castoroil and rosemary oil twice a week for two months. They are concerned whether this is normal or if the castoroil's thickness is causing hair loss.
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of castoroil for hair thickening, with one user noting it may increase prostaglandin E2 and decrease PGD2. The original poster plans to take 1-2ml orally daily.
A user reported that applying castoroil to their eyebrows for two weeks resulted in thicker hair and is considering using it on their scalp to thicken existing hair, not to stop balding. They do not expect it to cure male pattern baldness.
Castoroil may help hair growth by targeting specific receptors and reducing certain scalp levels, with some users reporting thicker hair. Peppermint oil is suggested as an alternative to minoxidil, while opinions on the effectiveness of plant-based treatments for hair loss vary.
Castoroil's effectiveness for hair growth is debated, with concerns about its impact on skin health and prostaglandin levels. Some users suggest combining it with coconut oil and using it alongside finasteride for better results, while others recommend sticking to proven synthetic treatments.
