Is Castoir Oil proved to Grow hair? I have been applying it to my eyebrows every night for 2 weeks with no results. Should I switch to Almond Oil?
Feb 26, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Neither castor oil nor almond oil have been studied extensively and in well designed clinical trials (what we call randomized controlled trials, whereby the intended treatment or intervention is compared to no treatment or placebo in a sample of no less than 300 people, and in which the people being tested as well as the individuals applying the interventions are blinded to the nature of the product they are using) to produce solid evidence-based practice guidelines to conclude that they effectively enhance hair growth. They are however health-risk free, so you may continue using them if you observe no side effects such as local allergic response, or shedding of hair follicles.
