JBCO !!

I started my Jamaican Black Castor Oil Challenge ! And I'm extremely excited.. I've heard so much about the product and I was anxious to use it :) I ordered it from Jamaicanblackcastoroil.com my 8oz came up to 17.84 with shipping and handling I think the oil its self came up to $8 and they have a spring sale going on where you get 20% off which is amazing. It came around 3 days in the mail. I really couldn't wait to use it after seeing it work for so many people. I am a member of hairlista.com a site for educating black women to grow their healthy and long! They having a JBCO challenge going on that lasts about three months and you note and show your progress along the way.

Here are the challenge levels

Challenge Levels:

Basic: Apply Castor Oil to a clean scalp 1-2 times per week.

Advance: Apply Castor Oil to a clean scalp 2-3 times per week.

Ultimate: Apply Castor Oil to your scalp 5-7 times per week. You must deep condition with a 1-2 tsp of your Castor Oil mixed in your deep conditioner and/or use it to seal your ends.

Here are the rules

Rules:

1. Your Castor Oil MUST be 100% Castor Oil. Grease cannot be used as a substitute on the scalp. However, it can be used to seal i.e. Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil.
2. Apply to a clean scalp whenever possible (wash/co wash days).
3. One must report any changes, improvements, success in your hair/new growth. This will inspire others!
4. Please upload a photo of your hair progress after the Challenge is complete (there will be a particular thread created for this).
5. Have fun and grow!

--So before you ever apply it you should make sure your scalp is clean. I washed my hair before I put it in
I washed my hair with creme of nature moisturizing shampoo and creme of nature deep moisturizing conditioner and I put some JBCO in my conditioner and let it sit there for like 30 minutes and washed It out the instant I washed it out I felt the difference my hair was unbelievably soft !! I wanted to start my challenge but my hair was already soft and I thought if I added more oil it would become oily and with my hair, once it becomes greasy it is hard to handle. So I tried to avoid that whole situation by applying the Castor oil to my scalp the next day, when I did that my hair loved it and it wasn't greasy at all. I used the oil to seal my ends and as a moisturizer.


I am doing a combination of the 3 levels
Basic for the first month
Advanced for the second month
And ultimate for the third month

I am also applying the JBCO to my lashes and eyebrows for thickness, I heard it works wonders!! Can't wait to see progress, I am holding back on my sew-in so I can get my regimen and challenge going!! :) good luck ladies !!

SPRINGS ALMOST HERE!

In the spring it's all about bright colorful nail polish ! so recently I looked through my nail polish bag and didn't know what color I wanted to wear. Ive been looking for something nice and solid to go with my complexion, I came across this Grayish-Black color that I bought from Sephora some months ago. I remember being in the store and the color catching my eye, one reason i was a little against it was mostly because it came in a really small bottle which ran me $5. (actual bottle size to the right) But my obsession with gray told me to just get it, it came in handy ! btw, the brush on it is AMAZING!! you will barely need a second coat.


The color I got is called-Money Maker(wet cement gray).
