Product Review: Jamaican Black Castor Oil


Bought on Amazon.com

What is Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO)?
JBCO is a castor oil which is similar to other castor oils you get at the pharmacy. The difference is that JBCO is more efficient due to the content of the ash derived from the roasting of the castor beans.

Benefits of Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO)

  • Strengthen hair
  • Increase hair growth
  • Nourish and thicken hair
  • Cleanse toxins from scalp
  • Acts as a humectant by helping moisturize hair
  • Provides good shine

How it has helped me?
This product had a thicky consistency than other oils I have used. It had a gummy feeling to it.  I believe this helps it coat the hair better than the other oils. I used this oil by itself, and also mixed it with my other oils and my shea butter mix.  For me, this has helped thicken my edges as you can see from the pictures below. It has also helped thicken my 4c hair-ed daughter's hair and edges. Click here to see how to use it to grow your edges. So, it's thumbs up for Jamaican Black Castor Oil. The only downside is that I can only purchase this online.

    I really need to try this. My edges were thinning from wearing my satin scarf tied too tightly and from tying it around my hairline instead of lower on my head. I stopped wearing a scarf and switched to a bonnet and they stopped thinning but I haven't seen much improvement in them growing back or getting thicker so I will definitely try this. Which brand of JBCO do you use?

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
