Hi,
I have a couple questions for you – I have been reading castor oil is great for hair thinning/hair growth. If you google castor oil for hair growth, you’ll come across many sites raving about this oil. I was wondering if you have ever tried it? If so, did it help?

I read that it is good for the hair and skin. Question, If it helps your hair grow, but you also use it for your skin, wont you grow hair where you don’t want it?
