[Arian]

I googled Chicoro and I think this is the way she moisturizes...so I guess that it where I got it...! I just know I didn't come up with it myself, lol...

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.[/QUOTE]

[USER=74941]prettybyrd: I put about 10 drops of the tea tree essential oil in the jar along with peppermint oil then I mixed it really good. Essential oils go a long way. I never really got a tingle from the tea tree oil, but the peppermint gives me a tingle every now and then depending on how dry my scalp is.

I tried the LOC Method last night, and whoever came up with this is a genius!

My hair looks great today! I had no intentions on wearing my hair out, but when I took my braids down this morning, my hair looked so pretty and it is very well moisturized.

I used:
L - Water
O - JBCO
C - Oyin Hair Dew

I may switch it up a little next time, subbing my leave in for the water, and using my Fresh Cream instead of Hair Dew, but this was a winner!

 

[faithVA]

Still doing my daily, apply castor oil blend to my crown and my edges. This morning dabbed a little water on first because my crown felt so dry.

 

[kupenda]

Massaged my edges and sealed my hair with castor oil after moisturizing with DB transitioning cream

I want to take part! Will post pic + details on 31st!

 

[FindingMe]

I oiled my hair last on Friday and will be washing (and maybe DCing with a treatment mask + castor oil under steam) today and using the LOC method outlined above by all (THANKS, ladies!) tonight to twist my hair. I'll probably wear the twists for a day and then un-twist on Thursday night for a twist out and oil the ends with CO on Friday.

 

[xu93texas]

Thanks ladies for the info on the LOC method.

Funny, I've been doing this as well, but in a different order: After applying Bee Mine growth serum to scalp and massaging scalp, sectioning hair; I apply Bee Mine Juicy Spritz, Qhemet's Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee and then JBCO to scalp/hair and massage again and do bantu knots. I do this 3-4 nights per week.

 

[Evallusion]

I'm lovin' the ease of applying my castor oil with these cornrows in--it takes all of 3 minutes.

I'm still doing the every other day thing, as to avoid build up and the dreaded "gunk" in my braids.

 

[dyamonds10]

What type of Castor Oil will you be using:
I will be using JBCO and regular CO

Tell us a bit about your hair:
Natural again.....and growing out some henna. I lost alot of hair to pp shedding. Hoping to thicken it back up.

I will be massaging the Castor Oil into my scalp at least 3 times per week.

 

[skyslady]

Did nothing last night but did moisten my scalp with water and then rubbed in a little of the AVG/castor oil blend to my crown and edges.

 

[Phaer]

Here are my starting pictures. The first one is my relaxed hair a couple of months before I decided to transition (inadvertenly decided to go natural because I was unemployed). The second one is from 10-06-10, the day I BC'ed, and the third and fourth is from my majorly FAILLLLLLLed attempt to straighten my hair a couple of days ago.

[Bublin]

@Evallusion thanks for the reminder. Since i don't use heat i'm going to have to stretch my hair down for a length pic which isn't all that accurate but it will have to do.

I have been oiling my scalp whenever needed with my castor oil mix and have been moisturising and sealing twice a day. I have found myself protective styling for over 2 weeks now even though i'm not into protective styling . I've been wearing my hair in big plaits under beanies or a beret and wearing a braidout at the front.

 

[dyamonds10]

My end of the year hair pic is my avi

@Evallusion

 

[Curly Lee]

I'm in.
I'm natural and APL.
I'll be using castor oil on my edges to help them grow in. I'll also mix in my DC from time to time.
I'm using now castor oil, when this runs out I'll be using JBCO.

Will update and post more pictures at the end of December.

Starting pictures from today:

I'll probably add a naked hair pic before new years when I wash my hair. I'm super excited for my challenges this year.

 

[Meadow]

checking in... scalp oiled and massaged

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Evallusion, thanks for the reminder! My pic will be posted right after our HYH reveal on the 31st.

 

[justicefighter1913]

Please sign me up! I'll be using extra dark jbco 1x per day. Well, I had almost APL length hair before yesterday, but as of today I think I'm more like freaking shoulder length hair. I'll post a pic in my siggie tomorrow.... I'm sick of the setbacks....

 

[Philippians413]

@Evallusion Thanks for the reminder!

Here are my starting photos. I'm currently 11". in the front, 10" on the side, and 10". in the back.

 

[Philippians413]

So for the past 2 weeks I've been doing the LOC method (water mixed with curl junkie's smoothing condish, castor oil, and curl junkie's smoothing lotion on top). My hair has NEVER EVER been as moisturized as it is now! Thanks to whoever posted about the LOC method here (will have to search the thread to find your name)!

 

[LimitedEdition]

Can I use the pic in my siggy? @Evallusion
