A lot of people use it topically and swear by it. However I read reports of oral use of castor oil. About 1 to 2 mL per day has shown actually re-growing hair. Has anyone experienced this and know anymore about it?
Why does oral Castor oil work well to regrow hair for some people?

I'm not applying the castor oil topically I'm eating about one milliliter a day. I'm surprised there's not more talk about it consumed orally as opposed to topicallynot apply topically.

I've read some good results from oral castor oil for growing some hair here and Derek from More Plates More Dates said that one of his buddies started taking 3 ml daily to improve his beard and he ended up with a good beard and some slight regrowth at the hairline. Haven't read any conclusive studies but am currently considering going this route along with finasteride+keto shampoo since the oil is dirt cheap and more convenient than microneedling. It has to be 100% pure oil and not jamaican black oil. According to Derek there doesn't seem to be any better results for hair growth past 2-3 ml daily and anything past 5 ml is liable to give you loose bowels.

Thanks you very much, i will go for 2-3ml per day i think.
My protocol is ketoconazole shampoo every over day + topical minoxidil + oral minoxidil at the moment. No results at all.

We're do you mean by cycle? I think it takes longer than two weeks. Probably taking a bit of Castol oil for a month would be better to see if there is a result
For example, take three weeks at first, and then stopped using it for another 3 weeks. Repeat the cycle. MPMD mentioned doing this as increasing PGE2 may not be good in the long run if taking it every day.
