    I wouldn't use castor oil. It is too thick and greasy even tough it is great for thickening hair. Try coconut, olive, sweet almond or jojoba oil. You can also add a few drops of rosemary essential oil.

    Thanks. I might just add a tablespoon of each of these oils and as you suggested a drop of rosemary essence. I have Olive, almond and coconut oils, but no jojoba oil, and if need to get rosemary essence from a health food shop.

    Thanks again!

    I am allergic to shea butter. But I do use coconut oil with rosemary and a few drops of peppermint.
