Summer hair care: 5 summer hair oils to mix with castor oil for faster hair growth in kids

Hair care for children during the summer season requires extra attention, as the heat mixes with sweat, pollution, dust, and chlorine from swimming pools, which can make hair drier, brittle, and prone to breakage. During the hot summer months, you can rely on this oiling remedy; blending castor oil with lighter oils improves absorption and enhances hair growth benefits. So, here are 5 summer-friendly oils that work particularly well when mixed with castor oil.

You cannot start a champi session without coconut oil, as it is known for its gentle, lightweight properties and deep nourishment. It dilutes the thickness of castor oil, penetrates deep inside the hair shaft, reduces protein loss, keeps hair moisturised during the summer season, and prevents intense dryness caused by sun exposure. Simply blend 1 teaspoon of castor oil with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil and gently massage it in.

Argan oil is often called ‘liquid gold' and is packed with vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. It protects the locks from environmental damage, smooths the frizz, and improves overall hair manageability. From adding shine and softness to strengthening the weak hair strands, the argan oil and castor oil blend is great for extra nourishment.

Almond oil is known for its rich vitamin E, fatty acid, and magnesium content, which support scalp health and strengthen hair. It nourishes the scalp, supports healthy hair follicles, reduces hair breakage, and addresses split ends. It also adds overall natural shine and intense smoothness, making the mixture lightweight for summer use. Mix equal amounts of almond oil and castor oil and apply them before bedtime, twice a week.

Olive oil has been used in the haircare industry for centuries and is known for its moisturising and antioxidant properties. It softens tangled hair, strengthens strands, reduces frizz, and supports overall scalp hydration, especially during hot weather.

Jojoba oil closely resembles the scalp’s natural sebum, which balances overall scalp oils, prevents dryness, and unclogs hair follicles without making hair feel greasy. From soothing itchy skin to sweaty scalp conditions, it promotes a healthier hair growth environment and is a perfect lightweight combination for summer.
