Still Using Jbco?

[theRaven]

Target is really gettin' with the program, hunh??

Oh yes. I am a Target lover. Their haircare, skincare, and makeup section is amazing. They have so many natural haircare and professional brands. Oh and their ads constantly feature natural haired Black women all the time

I found it in Kroger too. I was surprised.

This stuff is pretty much a staple mainly I use it in my clay mix or as part of my oil rinse.
On occasion I will mix it with a lighter oil like jojoba or almond and seal my ends.
I get mine from the local beauty supply or the caribbean grocery

 

[yaya24]

I just started sealing my mini twists with this.
I have fine 4b hair. My hair is supur soft after sealing in my tea sprits with it.

 

[Solila]

I swear by it. My hair has gotten a lot thicker. I recently started putting it on my eyelashes too. I have to be more consistent though.

JBCO is my Holy Grail product.
It stopped massive shedding I was having during an illness & treatment. The doctors & nurses were amazed.

I get it (Tropic Isle Living and Sunny Isle brands) from the bss, CurlMart, Hattaché, Amazon or directly from the manufacturers - whichever one has a sale.

It works as a humectant, stops inflammation and seals at the same time.

You don't say

I love this stuff, thanks to this board.. I love the thickness of the oil...

@TLC1020

I have about a 1/2 bottle left and thought, I don't want to run out.

I usually just use it in the Fall/Winter and use a lighterweight Oil in Spring/Summer.

But now ya'll got me thinkin'.........

I used it yesterday on damp/wet hair!

@mshoneyfly Thanks for the tip.

Where does everyone buy their pure JBCO?

I already answered this question:

Ebay. This seller had the best price for me:

http://stores.ebay.com/shoporganicbeauty/

But I wanted to add that the castor oil from there has black tea added to it. I bought it still because when I used to use black tea rinse it helped to strengthen my hair and decrease shedding. I haven't paid attention to other castor oils but this one has black tea in it.

Black tea infused JBCO you say...
@CodeRed because “Thanks" is not enough for that link.

You are very welcome ma'am

Does "regular" castor oil work for hair growth/thickness? What is so unique about JBCO besides the processing?

I've only done limited research on it but they both are supposed to have the same benefits and the black castor has the ash from the roasted bean left in it. I dunno what it's supposed to do though lol.

Also, from the Tropic Isle Living website:

http://www.tropicisleliving.com/myths-and-facts-on-jamaican-black-castor-oil-jbco/


Here are some myths and facts about JBCO:

Myth: The darker the castor oil the better it is for your skin and hair.

Fact: The color of the castor oil comes from the amount of roasting. Roasting it longer does not add nutrients.

Myth: The more ash the castor oil contains the better it is for you.

Fact: More ash simply means that it was roasted longer, destroying many of the nutrients.

Myth: The more potent the castor oil the better.

Fact: The potency of castor oil comes from roasting it longer, and does not make it better than castor oil that are not as potent.

Myth: Jamaican Black Castor Oil is only used for hair growth

Fact: The fatty acid in JBCO is called ricinoleic, and it helps to detoxify skin and scalp. JBCO is not only use for hair growth, but is also great for healing cuts, burns, bruises, warts, fungal infections, and dermatitis.

I'm still going strong with my JBCO, thank goodness I am 14 weeks post and bun daily.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Been pulling this out for some reason lately!

Its usually my Fall/Winter go-to, but I've been slamming it lately.

Will try to put it away and use something else. Something lighter.

 

[intellectualuva]

My family swears by it. It helped my cousin grow in her bald spoT. I've gotten more consistent with it again and I'm happy with the results.

 

[caliscurls]

Great thread! JBCO makes me itch like crazy , at least the one with Lavender in it did. This thread has me wanting to give it another go though so I'm going to use the regular castor oil to seal my edges going forward. I'm not having any issues but prevention is a good thing!

 

[fifigirl]

I use both JBCO and Organic castor oil. Infant i have a gallon of organic castor oil in my closet (i know! but i use a lot of castor oil for sealing and in most of my oil mixes. I use JBCO specifically for my hair growth mixes which contain sulphur, MN and other oils....JBCO is da bomb

 

[TLC1020]

I'm still going strong and using my Jamaican Black Castor Oil.. I use the Tropical Isle without scent, I like it alone. I oil my scalp with it, then bun my hair as a protective style. I am really liking this thick oil..

 

[Rozlewis]

I use JBCO on my edges and nape.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

I still use it to seal my ends and massage my scalp. I have eczema that like to creep up to my scalp so it keeps me straight.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

My fine hair likes to be sealed with JBCO when damp. It keeps my edges in tact even though I have been wearing LF wigs nonstop for a whole year! Hair is noticably fuller.

I agree, this is a must under my LF wigs. My edges are on fleek...
Sorry! Just had to use that silly phrase

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Still using Extra Dark JBCO.

 

[CaramelLites]

I wanted to share before and after pics. Before pic is from March 22nd I'm wearing a blue shirt. After pic I'm wearing animal print is from yesterday July 15th. JBCO definitely works, these results are from inconsistent use. I'm thinking about applying it all over my scalp instead of just the edges to see if I can get an overall growth boost.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Been tearin' it up!
