Can I use this oil on my scalp if it's sometimes sensitive or itchy? — Castor Oil for Washing and Strengthening Hair-Green Pharmacy

Massaging the oil into the scalp before shampooing can help soften the skin surface and distribute the product. For some, this may provide a soothing sensation, especially if the scalp feels tight after cleansing. However, if your scalp is sensitive, reactive, or prone to itchiness, you must proceed with caution.

Always perform a patch test before full application: apply a small amount to a discreet area of your skin (like behind the ear or inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or irritation. For the first few uses on your scalp, start with a short application time (5-10 minutes) to observe how your skin responds. Avoid contact with eyes. If any discomfort, itching, or irritation appears, discontinue use. This product is a cosmetic for hair care and is not intended to treat medical scalp conditions like dermatitis or psoriasis. If you have persistent scalp issues, consult a dermatologist.
