I’ve always had long healthy hair, however this began to change when my second child was born. As the years went on my hair kept getting thinner and thinner. When I was blessed with my third child my hair continued to deteriorate. It was falling out, dry, damaged and it felt very rough. Though this didn’t bother me so much, it was more my daughter’s hair that my husband and I were most concerned about.

She was only 8 years young, when we began to notice changes in her hair. Each time I brushed it, the floor and brush would be full of hair. I thought to myself how could this be? Hair is so important to everyone, I didn’t want my daughter to grow up with thin, dry and brittle hair. Moreover, in the future if she was also blessed with children, I didn’t want history to repeat itself. This was not going to be an option.
My husband and I searched the internet for an answer in regards to hair loss in younger children but was unsuccessful, so instead we searched for a solution. My search directed me to the benefits of castor oil and it sounded promising. The oil has a thick consistency so it was advised to mix it in with other beneficial oils so it was easier to apply. Our families always speak about the importance of olive and coconut oil, so with this knowledge in mind, we created our own oil incorporating several different types. We applied it once a week to our hair, my mum and sister joining in too. It worked well for a few years but the oil was hard to apply and wash out. We needed to come up with a more effective solution.
