I have a hair lotion with castor oil as a top ingredient - it's Bronner Brothers or something. I do scalp massages with it about every night but I couldn't imagine using castor oil alone on your hair unless it's used very sparingly. I don't think it's helped my hair growth or condition much (I also apply it to my hair ends sometimes.) but I'm not using straight castor oil.

*M!x*Ch!ck*

It's thick but can thin out with an lighter oil
How Iam using it so far a 2 tbsp leave in 2tbsp aloe Vera juice 2teasp castor oil 2 teasp almond oil

Thinking bout doing scalp massage with it before I co wash idk yet Iam trying to go with the flo

I really want to join this challenge but I am kind of nervous about online shopping (no nearby reasonably priced health food stores)

Johari

I use to be too and after buying a book from amazon I don't think its as bad as I thought.I've book over 10 items and have never been ripped off.....although I've never used a credit card to pay I just use gift cards.

And sometimes the health food stores have crappy stuff that smells old/rancid because people barely buy it so its not regularly restocked.Well that's what happened to me with coconut oil.

Do you have a liquor store near by that sells food,magazines,ect because there's one near me that sells all types of oils but its suppose to be for cooking?

TristanAmber

I just took a leap of faith and purchased some Jamaican Black Castor Oil and Sweet Almond Oil last night on amazon. It should get here around wednesday so we will see. I have never looked for oils in the liqour store but I will be sure to check it out thanks.

Keihs

Ooh. Same here, I just realized liquor store sells oils too, but I haven't looked at all of them yet.

TristanAmber

my oil just arrived so I guess I will start the challenge on friday

*M!x*Ch!ck*

so hows everyone challenge going ??

TristanAmber

It has really been going great so far I have only been using it for about 2 weeks so the little amount of growth I have noticed looks like it is growing a little thicker and healthier. I am expecting great results by the end of this challenge.

I've been using castor oil for a few months now. I reallly love it. It helps lock in moisture in my hair.

Surprisingly, I was skeptical about it at first because of how thick it is, but my hair controls the decisions here obviously lol

I went CG two weeks ago, and just read that castor oil can't be washed out without sulfates
Any of you having trouble by trying to no poo/co wash it out?

Kilajo

The only way I get co out of my hair is to use sulfates. I don't mind using shampoo once in a while to clarify though. I was cg for over a year but my hair is fine with mod-cg...
