I've NEVER added an oil to my conditioner before because I couldn't even see the point. But one day I was thinking how am I gonna use up all of this castor oil when I'm religiously using MTG, so I thought of adding it to my conditioner for a DC treatment. I swear my hair has changed for the better. It dries so soft and even the new growth feels super soft. Just mix up all those conditioners you think are pure and utter crap add a few tablespoons of black castor oil to it mix it up and you have a super conditioner. I mixed up about 5 conditioners that needed 'throwing out' and added the oil. I really think I could stretch a relaxer for longer by using BCO.
czyfaith77 said:Thanks for Saying this. I have been sharing this same tip for a while just not with castor oil.. I just told someone yesterday that they may consider adding it to Lekair's Cholesterol, since they said that it was making their hair hard. I learned this trick from a hair stylist that I used to go to. I liked how she cared for hair, I just didn't like the fact that she didn't know the diffrence between a trim and a cut. But it is a great tip makes a world of a difference with Type 4 hair. I use Aphogee EFA (Essential Fatty Acid) oil which is alot like Nexxus Botanioil. Love it, love it, love it!

I used
Affirm 5 in 1 reconstructor
Motions CPR
Motions Silk Protein
Le Kair Cholestorol
Profectiv Hair Masque
Mane N Tail Conditioner
Porosity Control
Yep all of those and added the CO. I added enough to make a difference. It sounds like a lot but I was able to get a little blob out of most of these conditioners. I've used CO since on a smaller conditioner batch and it still yields the same fabulous results. I'm going to wash out my empty Affirm 5lb relaxer tub and make a VAT of this conditioner. It's heaven

The Real Jamaican Black Castor Oil
We're thankful to a customer who mentioned our Tropic Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil on the Long Hair Care Forums site (www.longhaircareforum.com). Since then, we have been deluged with orders for the product.

I can honestly say that I only used the refined castor oil on my scalp. I never thought back then to add it to my conditioner. I know that all of the 'goodness' shall we say is extracted out of the BCO and it's heated to high temperature. Why they do all of this is beyond me. The black castor oil is the same thick consistency, it's brown in colour and has a nutty smell to it. I posted a while back the difference between the oils. Lemme see if I can dig this up for you and re-post here.

Thanks to Classyebonygirl
Finally found some today - I checked all BSS on Fulton Mall in Downtown BK and no luck BUT in same area I went to a Health food store and they had it. The store about a block away from 141 Livingston on Livingston. Across the street from the Macy's back entrance. So I guess we should be checking our Health food stores instead.

And I can't trek to Sams, its all the way in Hempstead!
