Quick decision guide

Choose Castor if…
  • density, edges and brows are your focus
  • you want maximum scalp-conditioning thickness
  • you'll happily blend it 1:2 with a lighter oil
Choose Virgin Coconut if…
  • breakage is why your hair never gains length
  • your hair is dry, damaged or chemically treated
  • you want the oil with the strongest protein-loss evidence

Our verdict

Neither literally speeds growth — but coconut keeps the length you grow (proven protein-loss reduction), while castor supports the look of density at the roots. Breakage-prone hair: coconut pre-wash. Thinning-look concerns: castor blend on the scalp. The popular combo: coconut on lengths, castor (diluted) on the scalp.
