DiscoveringNatural Hair Coaching

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair.

After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...

What is the difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil and regular Castor oil?

Image
The main difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and regular castor oil lies in their processing methods, color, composition, and potential benefits for hair and skin. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Processing Method  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Made by roasting castor beans, which are then crushed and boiled to extract the oil. The ash from the roasting process gives JBCO its dark color and slightly smoky scent.  • Regular Castor Oil: Typically cold-pressed or processed without roasting the beans, resulting in a pale yellow or clear oil with no ash content. 2. Color and Consistency  • JBCO: Dark brown to black in color, thicker in consistency due to the ash content.  • Regular Castor Oil: Light yellow or clear with a thinner consistency. 3. pH Levels  • JBCO: Has a slightly higher pH due to the ash, making it more alkaline. This can help open up the hair cuticle and promote moisture absorption in some cases.  • Regular Castor Oil: More neutral in pH, ...

Why your scalp itches when you use Jamaican black castor oil

Image
  Scalp itching when using Jamaican black castor oil (JBCO) can result from several factors: 1. Allergic Reaction • Some people are sensitive to the components in JBCO, such as ricinoleic acid , which can irritate the skin. This could cause itching, redness, or discomfort. • If you have sensitive skin, you might be more prone to an allergic reaction. 2. Clogged Pores • JBCO is thick and can block hair follicles or pores, especially if applied in large quantities or not rinsed out. This can lead to a buildup that may cause itchiness. 3. Detoxifying Effect • Some users report experiencing itching as the scalp adjusts to JBCO. This is sometimes attributed to the oil “detoxifying” the scalp by removing buildup or impurities, though this isn’t scientifically proven. 4. Improper Application • Leaving JBCO on the scalp for too long, not diluting it, or applying it to dirty or sweaty hair can exacerbate itching. • JBCO should often be mixed with l...
