Asked By:30newme in New York, NY

Can i use almond oil and castor oil if not what do you recommend? It will be 2 months on December 1st since my hair transplant surgery.. I would like to use hair products to help promote more hair growth. I've decided to grow my hair out naturally after my surgery instead of using the minoxidil 2% which my doctor recommended. That's just something I don't want to do longterm. Will it take longer to see results if I don't use the minoxidil?

Answer: Always follow up with your doctor and ask your doctor about post operative instructions. Castor oil does not grow hair.
