*~*CASTOR OIL CHALLENGE 2012*~*

I used CO under some Shea Moisture for a twist out and then added a little extra to seal my ends... Epic fail. My twist out had no definition and the Shea Moisture products (that curl jelly and the hair milk underneath) left a little residue. I've used CO before under Afroveda Curl Define + KBB Super Silky products and it worked fine. I will be doing 2 strand twists tonight with CO under my Afroveda + KBB and sealing my ends.

I've also been adding CO to my ends every 3rd day.:grin:
 
My hair's been in a twist out for 2 days, so the regular oil doesn't work as well for me. I've been using Mozeke Mango Butter Blend, which is anhydrous and has JBCO as the fifth ingredient. I've been using it on my scalp and on the ends of my hair; it's very thick and a little really does go a long way.
 
Massaged castor mix into my scalp, extra love for my edges, nape, and crown. Let it sit for awhile before shampooing it out

Right now I'm under saran wrap for a baggy treatment.

My hair is in 5 sections...I sprayed the ends of my hair (braids) with diluted hydrolyzed keratin, then I put a mix of aubrey organics honeysuckle rose mixed w/ castor oil on each section and wrapped it in the saran.

What type of Castor Oil will you be using:
I will use the regular cold pressed castor oil.
It's cheaper and IMO, oils keep their properties at their max when they are cold pressed:look:

Tell us a bit about your hair:
I'm Natural 4b/c hair, with fine hair. Indian herbs had helped me to have stronger hair and had increase my hair density. Castor helped me in 2011 to seal moisture properly in my hair til ends and after 6 full months of using it my ends are sexy(lol) I don't even need a trim.


How will you be using your Castor Oil:
I will massage scalp every to every other day. with castor oil(im preparing batches of indian herbs steeped in castor oil :yawn: )
I will seal moisture in hair/ends every to every other day.

I will check once a week.

Just finished oiling my scalp with the JBCO. Now I'm sitting under my plastic cap and satin bonnet. I'm so sleepy, I can't see straight. I'll wash it in the morning. *yawn*
 
After washing and DC last night, I used KCKT, JBCO, and Purabody Naturals Cupuacu Butter on the length of my hair and did big twists. My hair is very soft this morning and my ends are still smoothes. I will oil my scalp today.
 
I'm new here but I've been following the site for what can only be described as eternity lol.

Totally love castor oil! I use it as a serum and I can safely say it certainly helps with thinning hair!

I'm in! :spinning:
 
I'm in!

I will be using JCBO I'm the bottle and the cream/oil in the jar. As well as castor oil that I bought from the health food store, brand is called "now"

My Hair is 4a/b mix and im currently transitioning. I'm at APL length right now. My goal is BSL

I will be using my castor oil in the following ways.
- to oil rinse
- with my steamer
- directly on my scalp mixed with either MN or MT
- the JCBO car version will go on my scalp when I dont have the oil handy as well as to seal my ends.

I will post a staring pic before my next install
 
I have been sealing my ends every 3rd day and they are loving it. I don't know whether its more moisture in my hair or what but its definitely softer. And I am experiencing more shrinkage. Any one else seeing this additional shrinkage?
 
Hey FindingMe, A.K.A. hair buddy!:grin: I know EXACTLY what you mean. It seems like the more my hair grows, the more shrinkage I have. I think my hair would have to be knee length to see it BSL/MBL curly.:look:

I'm still sitting here with the CO on my hair. I'm thinking of trying a Greek Yogurt DC recipe that I found on Youtube. I have all of the ingredients, plus, her hair looked really moisturized when she finished. If I decide to do it, I'll post a thread about it.:grin:

Evallusion Here are my starting pics that were taken today. Apologies for the quality, i have no idea how to stretch hair from behind AND take a clear picture! The back of my hair reaches exactly to the top of the vest so i'll wear this everytime i do a length check.

Krystle~Hime hunny i have been in despair with my hair since i started transitioning up until just a few weeks ago. I'm so dumb i have only just figured out what my hair likes/dislikes/needs. If i don't see some length in the next few months i don't know what i'll do :whyme:. The other pics show great hair too, you just have alot of shrinkage. I wish my hair was as thick as yours.
