~*~*Break Out Your Castor Oil - 2010 Edition~*~*

[Serenity_Peace]

I'm a major castor oil junkie! I use the JBCO pomade once or twice a week on my scalp. I use the oil itself once or twice a week.

Please add me to the challenge list! :woohoo2:

 

[teysmith]

Hey count me in!! I have a full bottle of castor oil that I only used once or twice. I've been wanting to use it but I've been so into my coconut oil.. But this sounds like a really fun challenge!!

I would like to join plz!

Can someone please tell me the benifits of using castor oil? I know that one of the main purposes people use it here is for thicker hair, which is why I decided to buy it. But are their any other purpose for using it? do it help with hair growth as well?

 

[Bluetopia]

I'm in! I'm in!!

been using jbco almost everyday for months.

 

[Bnster]

I would love to be in. I would like to try JBCO, right now using
Naturel Hair & Body Jamaican Style Castor Oil Treatment w/ Grapeseed & Carrot Oil.
The bottle says it is Pure Castor Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Carrot Oil, BHT.
Post pics later, once I research how to attach pic via URL in threads.
