Castor Oil Challenge 2012 (June-December)

Ok I'm back in. I took a hiatus for some reason.

What type of Castor Oil will you be using: I am using and oil blend with JBCO with EOs.

Tell us a bit about your hair: I just cut to 2" last week so starting fresh. My hair is 4b, medium density, low porosity.

How will you be using your Castor Oil: I use it 1x a week for full scalp application, with a scalp massage. I optionally apply my DC. Then I sit under my heat cap for at least 30 minutes. The other 2 days of the week I apply the castor oil only to my thin sections.

I believe the castor oil and scalp massages have really thickened my hair. My hair was so dense when I cut this weekend it scared me.

Checking in: Oiled my edges with JBCO after my texlax. I hadn't been using it all week because it's pretty thick and i didn't want to have a heavy oil in my hair before my texlax. Now that, that done, back to my JBCO which i love.
 
I must say I was very hesistant to use castor oil. However I finally gave in and bought some JBCO last week. At first, I thought it was too thick but I used it on my edges all of last week.

On Saturday, I added some to my DC. I rinsed and then did a rollerset, then wrapped my hair as I normally do. On Sunday morning when I was combing my hair, I was disappointed. My hair felt gummy, coated and sticky. I figured it was the castor oil and decided to do another wash on Monday evening. I did some pincurls on Sunday night, got up Monday morning to comb my hair expecting to be disappointed.

That didn't happen! My hair was bouncy and soooo soft. Now I see what the rave is all about!!!!
