Castor Oil X Cayenne Pepper Hair Challenge



It's finally here ! I am excited to announce my first ever hair challenge that I will be conducting ! This challenge is different than other hair challenges because of its spicy twist ! I meant that literally. I at first wanted to go ahead and do a castor oil challenge to help with the growth and thickening of hair, but when I came across cayenne pepper as a growth stimulant for hair, and researched on youtube and the web about success stories using this spice I just had to do it. This will be a simple challenge without the extra hassle of having to check in every day or every week. If I get at least five people interested in doing the challenge with me I will give a prize at the end of the challenge to one lucky winner ! Because my hair will personally be in protective styles during this period I decided to do this challenge both ways. Route 1 & Route 2 ! Both involving different methods/steps.


Cayenne Pepper for Hair Growth





Last night, as I was stumbling on ideas on how to go about my castor oil challenge, I came across a blog that talked about cayenne pepper as a hair growth stimulant. I instantly became interested because as far as I knew, I only used cayenne pepper to flavor food. And also, wouldn't that burn? Anyways, I started doing some in depth research on the spice and was hooked. So hooked that I decided to add the spice to my castor oil and embark on a castor oil X cayenne pepper hair challenge !

Check out the great qualities of cayenne pepper for your hair ! Don't knock it till you try it ! You only live once right?

Cayenne Pepper for Hair


  1. The Capsaicin in the cayenne pepper creates a tingling sensation to the scalp and in the hair follicle. 
  2. When applied to the scalp it increases blood circulation to the scalp promoting hair growth. 
  3. Increases hair shine. 
  4. Cayenne Pepper contains vitamins like Vitamin A, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C, and also beta-carotene, manganese and potassium which are good for health. 


Note: Cayenne pepper can be used in small amounts on the scalp as an oil to massage the scalp or can be used as a pre-poo or added to a deep conditioner. How will you be cayenning? :)
