Going to order the Pimento Oil Root JBCO product and I'll use that instead of straight CO or JBCO.

Royalq: Was that you that gave it a 1-star and said it smelled like Jergens, aka Kenya?
It looks good, though...
I just wanted to try another fragrance to mix with my JBCO, anyone use vanilla or sandalwood? Lavender works pretty well and the fragrance and JBCO ash smell both dissipate in ab an hour on my hair, so I guess if I don't get more suggestions and if it ain't broke...

Week one down, massaged scalp with castor oil 3 times last week and sealed with it every morning and night. I think I may be using too much for the sealing though, lol, so I may take it down a notch and just seal with it in the morning (or evening, but definitely just once a day).

Great little tip I learned yesterday (if you didn't already know this) is to detangle your hair before applying the castor oil. I usually detangle my hair after I have put in my leave in condition and oil (for sealing) after a wash. Because of the winter, I am back to using my beloved Jane Carter leave in conditioner and had a hard time last time because the detangling session was kind of long and difficult. Not what I am used to with Jane Carter. Last night, I forgot the castor oil on a section that I was doing and the denman brush went through quite smoothly. That's when I realized it. So, I detangled and then applied the oil right before I braided. MUCH better experience!

I'm jumping on the bandwagon, late i know! The last time i used castor oil over a duration of a month or so, applying three times week, i saw significant growth. It was out of pure laziness i didn't continue. Tonight i have lightly oilled my scalp with a castor oil mixed with avocado oil.

Have any of you noticed a difference in JBCO and regular old drugstore castor oil?

I'm curious too. But afrofaithful, when you say "drugstore" castor oil, do you mean brands like Heritage, Home Health, Now, or do you mean something even more generic than that; like the kind in the laxative section at conventional drug stores? I think there is a difference between even those two...

@ greenandchic LOL I guess both! Up until today I was using Walgreens brand...I have used JBCO before but that was so long ago I don't really remember. I just bought a bottle today and was wondering if anyone noticed a difference I suppose between all 3...
I hope i'm not dreaming but my hair feels a little thicker/fuller.
I have been going all out with my Castor Oil mix - scalp and full length sealing twice a day and washing every 4 days.
Other significant changes i've made is upping my moisture levels and using HS combs but the combs i've only used once.
I say the CO and extra moisture is starting to make a difference in the health of my hair.

I had JBCO but gave it away. I don't like the smell. I've been using The Pamla Christi brand.
Bublin my hair feels thicker too. I said I would post hairline pics but my computer is being a fart and I'm not in the mood to fiddle with it. I've got high hopes that its getting longer as well as thicker.
