I've actually started sealing with castor oil last week and continue to do so as my hair is loving it!

So I'll join and see if it makes any difference.

My mother and I were talking about this the other day. I will definitely be ordering some JBCO soon if I don't find it in stores somewhere. My mother used regular castor oil and received great growth so I'm down. When I post in the HYH reveal I'll come back here with starting info and pic.

Will update with my starting photo...Evallusion Is it ok if it's just a picture of my edges/Nape? Those are really the areas that I'm going to focus on religiously!


What type of Castor Oil will you be using: I will use mostly Regular Castor Oil. But I do intend to buy one bottle of JBCO as well.
Tell us a bit about your hair: Thinning edges due to a relaxer/micros. I've been seeing improvement since i've began to give these areas extra TLC
How will you be using your Castor Oil: I'm going to oil my edges and nape every night with the Castor Oil and massage it in.

I also plan to make an ayurvedic oil out of a bottle of regular castor oil. I will more thank likely infuse it with the methi powder that I have, which is helpful for thinning hair.

I'm in your HYH challenge myself and its the first time I'm going to make it all the way through, lol. Go ME!

Count me in!! I will post a pic in a few minutes. I have some plain old castor oil to use up but I am really liking the ingredients in the Ultra Sheen Ultra Care Moisture Blend Oil Rich Hair and Scalp Serum.

http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/ul...h-hair-and-scalp-serum/ID=prod6066057-product

Shockingly enough, those ingredients look really good. I would have never expected that from Ultra Sheen.


THANKS EVERYONE ELSE FOR JOINING!
LETS KEEP IT GOING!

Evallusion that is exactly what I thought when I looked at the ingredient list. Its practically everything I would have put into an oil myself, all the good natural oils. Wal-Mart has it for around $4.00 a bottle.

I think a lot of companies are stepping their game up with this whole natural healthy hair movement.

Awesome Challenge - I'm in!!!

What type of Castor Oil will you be using: JBCO/Regular Castor Oil

Tell us a bit about your hair: I'm relaxed, 3C and I'm about 2 to 3 inches from waist length. I believe with this challenge it will help me get there quicker.

How will you be using your Castor Oil: I will apply only to my scalp at least 2 to 3 times a week. I plan to heat it before applying it, I find if it's heated it goes on better because it's so thick.

~ I will add photos later, I just got a relaxer and I used small barrell rollers ~

I am in, I have been thinking about using castor oil.

I am just going to use regular castor oil.
I am not sure what my hair type is (and it is different all over my head lol) but its 4 3/4 inches long stretched.
I plan to seal with it, I hope this helps grow out my twa faster

I will attach another pic closer to the start date, I might grow 3 inches this month :lol: **crosses fingers*
