Castor oil is abundant in ricinoleic acid, a rare omega-9 fatty acid that deeply moisturises by sealing hydration into the hair shaft and forming a protective barrier against dryness. Its rich, viscous texture coats each strand, smoothing the cuticle to reduce frizz, enhance shine, and improve manageability.
Naturally high in vitamin E and antioxidants, castor oil helps protect curls from oxidative stress that weakens hair and leads to breakage. Though dense, when correctly balanced, it leaves curls smooth, lustrous, and deeply fortified.
