Co-washed my hair yesterday with Curl Junkie Daily Fix, Conditioned with Curl Junkie Argan + Olive Oil Condish (wanted to use it up), and followed with the Loc method using water, Smooth Lotion, and Castor Oil. I then braided my hair in 6 braids...I'll be making smaller braids today. Also oiled my scalp with CO.

 

[Evallusion]

I have slipped on the CO ya'll. My bad! I used some of my old plain Castor Oil and afterwards my scalp was itching like its never itched before. I mean like, "Damn, did I just break out in hives?" type of itching. I don't know what the heck that was all about erplexed

I think I'm going to start back up with my JBCO tonight.

I ordered some Apricot Oil, Coconut Oil, Rose Hip Seed Oil, Cinnamon Essential Oil and Lime Essential Oil. They should be here Saturday so I just can't wait to experiment with new blends! I can't wait to smell that Lime EO.

I've been using Castor Oil (staright and in the for of Oyin's HairDew) on my toddler and I'm going to keep this up...it will be sort of a mini challenge for her. I am curious as to how her hair will respond to it. So far so good!

Have any of you noticed a difference in JBCO and regular old drugstore castor oil?

I haven't noticed much of a difference between JBCO, cold pressed castor oil/drugstore castor oil. They are basically the same with the exception to color and smell. JBCO is brown and smells like ashes. I have however, noticed that JBCO absorbs in my hair better.

Massaged last night with my castor mix. I dreamt about castor oil last night lol

Yesterday, I oiled my scalp with red pimento JBCO, then I covered my head with a plastic cap. I noticed that my baggy was really moist. I think that red pimento really opened my pores, because my bag was wetter than normal.

The smell is sort of spicy, but I like the way my scalp felt afterwards.

 

[Golden75]

I've keeping up with my Castor use, at least 4x a week. I think I have 1/2 a bottle of JBCO left, but I have a castor cream I will try after the castor KBB mix is done.

I think my local BSS is carrying jbco, but not sure about the brand. Hopefully its a legit one, I'll check it out and google. I swear I think the owner lurks on here, cause everytime I go, he has something we ladies like to use.

Taking out my kinky twists tonight so hopefully I'll see a difference with the castor oil use.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Golden75, what is the name of the brand? I ask, because I saw a different brand that "claims" to be JBCO. Like you, I'm giving it the side eye, wondering if it's legit.

Ms_CoCo37 - not sure. I'll probably check sometime this weekend. I peeked at it, but can't remember. It looked like the Tropic Isle label, but I really don't think it was, so I was a little suspect about it. I'll let you know.

I'm still in small/mini twists. I am loving this challenge with the twists--so easy! I spray with water and rub oil down the length of my twists and then add extra to the ends - daily. I've been only massaging scalp and adding oil 1X/week because sometimes it makes me itch and it's too much for me on my scalp more than once a week.

My ends are SUPER SOFT! this challenge

 

[Aggie]

I have been using my jbco oil on my ends and they feel so soft afterwards.

 

[Renewed1]

Using my JBCO/Olive Oil/Rose seed hip oil mixture and my scalp is loving it. JBCO by itself gives me the itchies. But this mixture is doing good on my scalp.

 

[faithVA]

Massaged my scalp with my castor oil blend, applied AO White Camellia and sitting under heat cap for 30 minutes. Will rinse in the morning.

 

[LimitedEdition]

I'm still focusing my castor oil on my scalp, edges and ends. I massaged some in this morning on my scalp and edges only. I'm doing a twist set and I have noticed my ends don't curl up the way they normally do if I put castor oil on them while they're wet. I think its weighs down my curl pattern so my twist-outs end up with stringy ends.

I will put castor oil on the ends when its almost dry. That way I can give the curls on my ends a chance to set without being weighed down, but still put it on before it completely dries so I can seal in that last bit of moisture. I hope that makes sense.

 

[FindingMe]

Still applying JBCO to the ends of my hair as a pre-rinse before I rinse scalp with just plain water in the shower. Then apply liberally to strands, ends and massage in front edges. I still haven't found the right combination to use directly on my scalp. Everything I've tried has made me itchy.

Ladies can you please list what JBCO mixtures you are using to massage directly into the scalp without being itchy? Thx!

 

[Adonia1987]

I think JBCO is starting to make my scalp itchy and tender. This is the same reason why I stopped using it last year. I will start massaging Bhringraj oil on my scalp, and use JBCO on the length and ends of my hair.

 

[NJoy]

Picked up some jbco yesterday and mixed it with a lil hot 6 oil for my scalp massage. Also, applied to the ends of my hair.

 

[Bublin]

Continuing to apply Castor Oil mix to scalp and ends once or twice a day. i love the shine it gives, especially on my hair line.

 

[Renewed1]

I can only apply JBCO on my edges and hair. For some odd reason, JBCO makes my scalp itchy. Which is weird, because when I used drugstore Castor Oil on my scalp, I didn't have any problems.

I'm upset, because I flat iron my hair this week and now I have to wash my hair, to get rid of the itchy scalp!!!

 

[Evallusion]

Adonia1987 In regards to the itchies, perhaps you could try cutting the castor oil with another oil such as: coconut or sweet almond, etc.

MarriageMaterial How are you liking that Rose Hip Seed Oil? I just ordered some but I've never tried it before. Does it really smell like roses? And how what ratio of the rose hip oil (how many) are you using?

 

[kupenda]

Added castor oil to my Wonder 8 grease. I need to go bak to greasing my scalp a few times a month. Maybe a few days before washing. My roots don't seem to be getting any love

Still using my castor oil under my ecostyler for wash and gos

 

[yodie]

Are you ladies using the rose hips to get rid of the smell with JBCO?

 

[Renewed1]

Evallusion I use the rose hip oil as part of a mixture (hot oils;DC;JBCO) so I can't say if it's doing anything by itself.

 

[chelseatiara]

Used Hairveda's almond glaze on my twists last night with includes castor (seed) oil. Giving my hair/scalp a little break today and will be back to using my oil tomorrow..

Doin this again Guess this is my new sunday routine will keep it like this until Tuesday...

 

[Adonia1987]

Evallusion I have tried mixing it before but it still makes my hair itchy It seems to come in cycles... I can use it for a couple of months with no problem, but after a while it starts itching. The good thing is that I can still use it on the length of my hair!

 

[GIJane]

pre-pood with avj and castor oil, dc with ntm, honey, & castor oil; sealed with castor oil.

 

[lilyofthenile]

Massaged with the JBCO Red Pimento oil thing that they sell. It was ok! The smell was kind of sweeter than JBCO straight but... it's not too bad. I'll be using this today.

 

[Aggie]

I made a sulfur/JBCO/JBCO Hair Food/MN mix that I will be using on my scalp for about 2 or 3 days a week.

 

[tajaun]

still here yall, just checking in been working doubles...I have had enough of trying new stuff....I tried the ayuvedic pastes...not for me..my hair is in breakage/shedding overtime...back to my regular routine before deciding whether or not to cut it all off...hope i dont have tooo. but yes ladies im still in it. castor oil on scalp as i type....and you know what im taking it as a learning lesson...stop jumping on everybody band wagon especially with relaxed hair...i been working to hard on this hair to be committing hair suicide.

 

[faithVA]

When my scalp feels good I have a tendency to slack off. So have to pay more attention. Oiled my scalp with my castor oil blend this morning and massaged it in quickly. I plan on making a castor/coffee oil this evening.

I'm not really as consistent as I want to be. I can't tell if there are any changes. Hopefully over time my hair will thicken up and my scalp heal. Hope to see some changes by the spring.
