Hey guys - these are my pics. (side and back). I think I should have stretched out at least one of two twists cause my hair shrinks like crazy. For now, I'm using a pharmacy bought castor oil, but Imma look for some JBCO tomorrow.
These are 2wk old twists.

Sorry the quality is so poor. It's from my cell. I will try to post a better one later on but I wanted to make the deadline. I have fine, relaxed hair, slightly past APL. I had just taken my hair down from a bun in this pic.

You should put it in everything I do in my conditioners, my DC, my special mixes, my cereal. lol j/k about the cereal.

I can't wait to see some of your progress. This challenge is going to be so fun. I think I will take a better pic of my edges and hair strecthed on my next wash day.

Oh yea my hair is still soft but I sprayed it and oiled tonight I am also using Hollywood Beauty Tea tree oil because I didn't feel like digging for my EO.

I too am experiencing the itchies now that someone mentioned it. I thought it was from my braids, now I wonder if it's the JBCO. I need to look up the side effects of this if there are any. I would hate that.

 

[Vshanell]

Does anyone have the discount code for Sams? I'm gonna finally break down and get JBCO.

 

[exubah]

I just applied some JBCO to my roots............going forward I think I will be doing my JBCO applications 3 times a week (Mon, Wed and Sat (wash day)).

 

[hair4romheaven]

I love castor oil I use it in a lot of things. I am dc ing right now with QH cholesterol mixed with coconut oil and a little castor oil

 

[BlackGeisha]

hey ya'll quick question before I post my pics, can the pic be one of a blow out or should it just be in the most natural state as possible?

whatever is best for you.

 

[BlackGeisha]

Sorry. Posted starting pic in my OP.

[BlackGeisha]

I've heard that the JBCO makes some ladies itch, if it gets bad you can mix it w/ another oil.

Checkin - I washed and conditioned with moisture milks and castor oil. Now twisted up for drying and will add some to scalp after that.

Does anyone know where besides SAM I can get the JBCO (online pls.. I live in the Virgin Islands).

 

[Geminigirl]

ebay. There is also another site jamicanblackcastoroil.com I believe.

I have been using the JBCO for just over 3 weeks now and my scalp is so sore! Last time this happened to me my hair was growning so fast that it pained me!

I welcome the soreness!

 

[LaidBak]

checking in. Mixed JBCO in my DC today. Then applied my JBCO oil mix to my scalp.

 

[shopgalore]

I welcome the soreness!

Thats funny, I would also welcome soreness if I got growth, so far the JBCO is thickening up my edges a little.

 

[mysoon2behair]

Checking in...applied JBCO to my scalp last night

 

[Queen_Earth]

I am still waiting for my JBCO and I hope it comes really quickly BECAUSE this cold pressed rite aid oil KEEPS dripping down my face and back! Does Castor Oil expire? I bought this stuff last year and never used it; maybe that's causing the problem...I am not putting to much-This time I used a color applicator bottle instead of my fingers and just put a little and massaged my scalp....maybe that is a sign that something is wrong with my hair/scalp that is making it not absorb the oil so it won't run down my face/neck?!?!?
