I have a huge bottle of regular castor oil, I would also like to know if it's as effective as JBCO or Haitian Castor oil.

I don't baggy and I wash my hair the same day I use it. So I use it in the morning, and that night will wash it out. I only use it 2x weekly so not too bad and if I'm wearing my hair straight, I don't use it that week until I'm ready to wash it.

Which challenge are you in, 4 or 6 month?
4 month challenge, I'm stretching my relaxer for this but it will put me at 7 months post.
Which mixture will you use?
NJoys, tweaked.
If different, show your recipe
Unless I can find some JBCO in town, I'll just be using dark or regular castor oil.
If relaxed, how many weeks post?
3 months, texlaxed
I'm currently in between APL and BSL, texlaxed. Hopefully my sulfur makes it across the border in time for the challenge. I'm planning on using the concoction every second day, alternating between that and my moisturizing/sealing. I'll do a shampoo & dc every 4-5 days.
I've just started taking MSM, I'm in a running program, upping my protein, drinking plenty of water, hiding my hair by PSing, and I am strictly no heat until this is over! I'm going ALL OUT! I wanna see my hair do this:

@BadMamaJama and @missyanne The regular castor oil work just as well as the JBCO. I've repurchased the reg castor but not the JBCO. I also use it to seal and on my edges.

It is just as good. I have not used it for a long time so that is why I am using it in my mix.

I'm new to posting in the forums but I would like to join this challenge. I don't have sulphur yet and don't know where to find it (I live in Canada and shipping is ridiculous) so I'm going to try a few drug stores and see if I can find it. I'm currently in a sew-in but plan to switch to a wig with braids underneath.
Please share the following:
Which challenge are you in, 4 or 6 month? I will do 4 months and if it goes well, continue for 6.
Which mixture will you use? I will use Njoy's recipe.
If different, show your recipe: I will substitute rosemary oil for lavender oil.

If relaxed, how many weeks post? I'm natural.

I am really disappointed in Whl Foods price of jojoba oil and their lack of rosemary and pepprmint. Shld I try Vitamin Shoppe or another herbal chain? Anyone ordering online with decent prices?

KaramelDiva1978 Amazon actually has some decent prices for essential oils. I think it comes out to about $6 including shipping.

KaramelDiva1978 no. I've just ordered some eo's off of Amazon in the past because I didn't want to spend more money ordering other things I didn't need from other sites.

Good looking out! Since starting my hj, I've been spending a lot of money on hair products. Add in the shipping and it's ridiculous. I'm so over ordering online.

Oh no!!! I wish you would have waited so that I could tell you I went to the pharmacy in Metro and they ordered it for me. It was $5.99. But they called it "Sublimed Atlas"---I'm assuming that's the brand? She couldn't guarantee that that was what I was looking for because it didn't say "sulfur" but I figured it was cheap enough that I wouldn't mind if it was the wrong thing. I asked for it yesterday and they said it should get in by tomorrow. I went to Shopper's Drug Mart also but I could tell the pharmacist didn't want to be bothered to order it for me. I'll let you know when I get it.

Let me just suggest that you ladies DO NOT use coconut oil. I found that the sulfur/coconut oil mix is what produced a really horrible smell.

I'm tempted to start back with my oil this week but I just relaxed and flat ironed and darn it, I'm trying to preserve this sleekness a couple of days .

Coconut oil is one of my staples in sealing. petitefille

It used to be called A&P, I don't know if you have those?
Try a pharmacy in any other grocery store. I think Sobey's and Fortino's have a pharmacy too, if there's one in your area.
