I would like to join. I use Castor Oil anyway, so I wouldn't mind being part of a challenge. I will also post a starting pic a little closer to the Jan 1 start date. I'll have to subscribe to this thread.
What type of Castor Oil will you be using:
I will use NOW Brand regular Castor Oil--love it!~
Tell us a bit about your hair:
I am a really thick natural haired 3c/4a/4b hair type..currently a little past collarbone length stretched (I think).
How will you be using your Castor Oil:
To seal only, using the LOC method. I may add a little bit to my Deep Conditioners too.

Shampooed with SM Moisture Retention, DC with SE Megasilk. Hair felt great until I rinsed the condish out-straw. Eek! Oil rinse with castor oil (hair felt much softer) and TJ Tea Tree Tingle. Much better! Might have to rethink SE.

Castor oil has tons of fatty acids like coconut oil and works in the same way on the hair shaft, so it's supposed to penetrate the hair, although it's a humectant also.

Just sprayed my water/castor oil mix...ran outta saran wrap, so I'm using regular ol plastic bags to baggy overnight. Sunday is DC day and DC day always comes with a castor (+ another oil) rinse.

I'm in! I use Castor Oil in a butter blend for sealing, and I massage my scalp with it, so this should help me stay on track.
What type of Castor Oil will you be using: Currently using JBCO, will continue with regular CO once that runs out.
Tell us a bit about your hair: natural, currently in twists/buns for the next 12 months. Trying to leave my hair alone and let it do it's thing
.
How will you be using your Castor Oil: I use it mixed with avocado/coconut on my scalp, normally 3x/week but it's been every day for the past few weeks, and my hair just drinks it up. I also use it mixed in a butter blend that I do for sealing my hair, which is done weekly on wash day, and then as needed during the week.
I'm taking end of year pics this Saturday, so I'll post those then.

Coated my scalp with my castor oil blend between washing and Dcing and gave myself a quick scalp massage. I need to do them longer but maybe one day. I DC'd overnight so hopefully it soaked in very well. I rinsed this morning.
hmm, not sure if I will reapply before I style.

Sorry I've been kind of MIA lately. Life...
Got my "castor oil" on last night. Its so much easier to apply it now that I'm in cornrows. I will be back at it tomorrow.

Twisted my hair and checked out my crown. It's better but still a too sparse for my liking.
I applied my oil blend to the thin areas and to my edges and dabbed in. I think my edges are filling out
I could actually twist more of the hair there. I could be dreaming though.

Laxmi, Home Health, Walgreens and Walmart in liquid form for oil rinses, pre-poo, ayurvedic pastes, ayurvedic infusions, eco custard, sealing, ingredient in daily moisturizer (rosewater, castor oil, conditioner).

Meadow, how much t-tree oil to CO? I'm thinking of doing this too because I really like the tingle that it gives. Also, I went from applying oil every night, to 3 nights a week and it's cut down on my oiliness.
For the LOC method - are you mixing all of these products together or applying them one by one? This sounds promising.

@Lucia, thanks for answering. I haven't been on here in the last couple of days.
@FindingMe, Honestly, I'm not sure why it works, but it does! I got the idea from someone who complained of having dry hair all the time. I apply the products in that order
@prettybyrd, I think your question was meant for me. No, I don't mix them together. I take a section of hair and spray it with water/glycerin, smooth it with castor oil, and then follow up with Qhemet Biologics Amla & Olive Heavy Cream. I didn't have to moisturize my hair for four days! My hair has been really dry lately because of a permanent hair color that I am using and this method helps tremendously. I wish I could remember where I got the idea because I would like to thank that person, lol. I think I will still continue to color my hair, but will lay off of the permanent colors for a safer method.
Tonight, I will wash my hair with KeraCare Natural Textures Curl wash in four sections. Then will DC and moisturize and twist my hair using the method I mentioned above. I will probably post my starting pic next week!
