*~*CASTOR OIL CHALLENGE 2012*~*

[gvin89]

What type of Castor Oil will you be using:
I will be using JBCO and regular cold-pressed castor oil.

Tell us a bit about your hair:
I am a 4a natural with extremely dry ends. I also have thin edges and a trouble spot in my nape.

How will you be using your Castor Oil:
The plan is to use the oil on my scalp 3x a week and on the nape/edges daily. I will seal with it daily as well.

 

[UGQueen]

I'm in!

I will be using JCBO I'm the bottle and the cream/oil in the jar. As well as castor oil that I bought from the health food store, brand is called "now"

My Hair is 4a/b mix and im currently transitioning. I'm at APL length right now. My goal is BSL

I will be using my castor oil in the following ways.
- to oil rinse
- with my steamer
- directly on my scalp mixed with either MN or MT
- the JCBO car version will go on my scalp when I dont have the oil handy as well as to seal my ends.

I will post a staring pic before my next install

Here is my starting pic ! Will be trimming soon..

 

[TruMe]

I would like to join. I have been having a hard time with my coconut oil this winter and was actually thinking of using either castor oil or olive oil for my daily sealing. Well...in light of this challenge, I think I will go with castor oil.

What type of Castor Oil will you be using: regular castor oil

Tell us a bit about your hair: natural, APL stretched, tight dry curls in the back except for the small nape section which is just wavy (very weird, I know), loose waves at the crown and tight curls everywhere else that hold moisture well. In other words, just too much going on.

How will you be using your Castor Oil: On scalp 3x a week and daily sealing 2x a day or as needed.

 

[Bublin]

Is anyone using just Castor Oil (or their oil mix) as their moisturiser?
For the past couple of days i have skipped using my moisturiser and just used my oil mix on my ends and edges. My ends feel really good.

 

[prettybyrd]

After washing and conditioning, I sealed with JBCO. I then twisted my hair. My hair is very soft already, I'm thinking it will be very nice once it's completely dry.

ETA: Evallusion, my starting pic is in my siggy!

 

[kupenda]

Applied my castor mix to my scalp before shampooing last night. Then applied it again before DCing

Bublin ... mmmh no hair is always damp before putting oil.

 

[Tibbar]

I would like to join this challenge...

What type of Castor Oil will you be using:
I will be alternating JBCO and Home Health cold pressed/cold processed castor oil.

Tell us a bit about your hair:
I am most concerned about filling in the front of my hairline. (My starting photo shows the spaces where I am missing hair.) I am also looking for all around thickening and moisturizing.

How will you be using your Castor Oil:
I will be massaging the Castor Oil into my scalp at least 3 times per week, concentrating on the front section of my hairline. I will also seal the ends of my twists.

 

[kupenda]

@Bublin ... mmmh no hair is always damp before putting oil.

My roots and the rest of my hair are soooo soft, noone can't tell me nuthin right now . My hair is in big plaits hidden under a satin cap and i wear a beret when i go out.
I have been applying my Castor Oil mix on my scalp and hair (mainly ends) twice a day (no wait sometimes up to 3 times a day - i'm going haaard ) for the past 4 days. I have no oily residue and my normally brittle hair is butter soft. The Oil has been absorbing nicely.

I think i have spritzed with a water/leave-in mix just twice in the last 4 days - only because i thought i ought to!

Hi all, here is my starting pic...

 

[ladybug71]

Is it too late to join? Well if not officially, from the sidelines at least.

I ordered some JBCO from Amazon a couple weeks ago and forgot about it until I saw this tread. So excited to start using it as my left temple area is looking a little sparse.

Follow the other ladies as a guideline, I plan on massaging it into my scalp, concentrating on the side temples at night, at least 3x week. I will add some lavender or peppermint oil to it.

Thanks!

 

[Golden75]

Rubbed a little castor oil threw the first few inches of Kinky Twists, plastic, scarf, in for the night!

[Arian]

Did a Co-Wash with Tresemme in a rush and wore a Wash and Go with ends sealed in Castor Oil...hair felt great to the touch! Will post starting pic tomorrow!

 

[Meadow]

Evallusion, girl, how do you stand it? I mean the JBCO is stinky enough by itself (smells like ashes to me). I have some sublime sulfur powder, and I'm trying to will myself to use it. Peeeewww...

Ms_CoCo37 : Ashes... Add some lemon and lavender oil to it. It will help with that smell

Evallusion: My starting pic is in post number 64. I am now using it as my avatar. Plus may I add, I used my JBCO today!

 

[dede1129]

I am using organic Castor Oil from the whole food store. I Love it, my once dry brittle ends look mended and great. This is really gonna help me with my stretching. I am getting a trim for the new year so I will add my pic tomorrow.
