Castor oil: Using castor oil for hair is a wise decision, especially when it comes to hair growth. So adding castor oil in the mask can help thicken your hair. When you are massaging on your scalp, it also increases the blood circulation. This allows more nutrients to reach the hair roots making it healthier.

Honey: Honey is known for its moisturising properties. Adding it in the mask makes sure that your hair is thoroughly nourished.
