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?

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3.
