4oz Organic Cold Pressed Jamaican Black Castor Oil for Hair Growth and Damaged, Dry Scalp - Unscented, Hexane-Free

I have naturally light blonde 3A/3B very curly fine hair. I generously apply this directly to my scalp using the dropper and basically spend half an hour to an hour massaging it in with my fingers. It smells terrible to me, and I typically like earthy/strong smells. It smells like ash and cigarette smoke. It's also surprisingly viscous and thick (and as far as I can tell, all JBCO is like this). I could never leave it on my scalp for more than 8-10 hours overnight lest I look like I haven't showered in years. I believe this is a fairly universal experience for people with fine hair using JBCO, but so far it seems to be worth it. I leave it on my scalp overnight alongside Olaplex (two times a week) and wash it off in the morning. My scalp is no longer over-producing oils and feels more conditioned and soft to the touch. I've noticed that on the days after I use JBCO, the curls in my hair are INCREDIBLE. My hair is shiny and bouncy. No oil residue or anything of the sort gets left over either and the smell quickly dissipates after washing it out. I feel like in terms of overall scalp conditioning and nourishing, the benefits of this outweigh the unpleasantries of using it, and I'd wager that scalp health contributes greatly to hair growth!

I had developed a pretty bad habit of pulling out my beard hairs when they got long enough to grab, which was seriously not helped by the fact that they would pretty much just pop right out with almost no force. Even when I did manage to force myself not to pick at my face, eventually I'd start feeling random sharp itchy pains that would make me yank out hairs in that spot. The result being that my chin was left very scraggly, patchy, and bald basically all the time (so disclaimer, my problem was not that my beard stopped growing, it was that I couldn't keep it consistently on my face). I heard of this stuff from random a internet comment and decided to give it a shot. I would describe it as a thick and sticky oil with notable scent of molasses to it (I really like its smell) and when applied feels like thd kind of surface you would expect hair to be (I imagine it would normally feel kind of gross, but on a place you expect hair to be it feels fantastic). It has been about a month and a half and it has helped overwhemingly with restoring my beard back to the thickness and length it used to have and dramatically reduced the degree of my pulling it out. To a certain extent, I'd say it was just swapping one habit with another as I will just go to slather this stuff on my face when I start to get too face grabby or my face starts to feel dry. However, the hairs actually feel much more firmly planted and I can feel expected pain when they get yanked out now. It was not uncommon for me to end up pulling out like 50+ hairs a day before this, but now I'm estimating I lose <10 a week to pulling. Only negative I have is that the first bottle I orderd came with a cracked lid, so some of the oil was a bit spilled on arrival; not gonna take stars off for that though since results have been so positive. Probably one of the best purchases I've ever made; I'm thinking about buying this by the gallon going forward if I can.

Been using for less than 2 weeks. I will say that my hair does feel softer. The SMELL, however, is like laxative castor oil. It definitely is NOT unscented. The good thing is my hair did not smell bad afterwards so I will definitely keep using. It is very thick so you don't have to use a lot.

I’ve been using this castor oil for a year. I’m just finishing up my second bottle, so a little bit truly goes a long way. I had noticed last summer that my hair seemed to be thinning. After perms in my 20s and 30s, and coloring in my 40s and 50s I wasn’t surprised. I’m pretty much totally white now so the scalp shows through a little bit better. I did some research and decided to give this a try. I didn’t see any difference after finishing the first bottle but I went ahead and got the second one. Last month I still wasn’t sure, but I ordered a third one which is waiting in the wings. However, I just had my hair cut today. My stylist asked if I had gone longer between appointments this time, and I said I didn’t think so, but I had also noticed that my hair was feeling really shaggy. I usually get my hair cut every five weeks because it’s short, and I thought perhaps I’d gone six weeks for some reason. But after she was finished I checked and my last appointment had been five weeks ago. I mentioned to her that I was using the castor oil and she said that’s why; it is working and it’s making your hair grow faster. So it definitely does what it says it does. It just takes some time. I use it 2 to 3 times a week and will continue to do so. It’s going to actually cost me some money in the long run because now I have to get my hair cut every four weeks, but well worth it!

Great product. Love the smell. I augment my personal castor oil therapy with this product.

Let me first say that i am a big fan of oils, and months back i decided to try JBCO. I ordered this oil and absolutely loved it! It was dark and rich, the smell was nice burnt nuts. When on the skin it was great for hydration and for my scalp, having long dreadlocks. Now to the bad part. I ordered this product again, being very happy the first time. I just received it in the mail, and immediately noticed the cap on the bottle was different. The new bottle had a white cap, while the old one had a black cap. I thought maybe it was just a packaging difference, but upon opening i realized that wasn't the case. The new oil is awful. I can usually handle different smells, especially with oils, but this was nothing short of disgusting. It smelled like burnt cigarettes, but even more potent. I then poured the oil out to check the color and consistency. The new oil came out easily, much thinner of an oil, and the color was a pale yellow. Totally different oil than the first one. I'm not sure if this is a defect, or if their oil changed so much in just a few months. I returned it immediately. i'm going to try and order again, hopefully i receive the first one i fell in love with, and not this awful knock off.

I have sensitive skin/scalp amd my scalp does really well with this product. I have to use pure ingredients on my skin/scalp, and this one proved faithful and true. I have thick 4c hair. I use it on my curls and well as when my hair is straightened. My scalp is moisturized after using the product, and there's minimal itching!!! I read that it will itch first few uses due to cleansing. The more I use it, the less it itches. It leaves my hair so so soft. My hair soaks it up. I absolutely love this stuff because it's so hard for me to find porducts due to being so sensitive. Only downside is it's a little smelly. It's like a slight cigarette smell. I will keep using though because it works.

I have tried many other brands of Jamaican black Castor oil and I must say that this one is the absolute best! My scalp was really dry and my hair was coming out in long strands so I started using this castle oil to moisturize my scalp. The bonus is that my hair grew about 4" in about 6 months time! Compared to other castor oils this one is really thick and you can definitely feel the moistness in your scalp. I also used it on my edges because I was braiding my hair and the edges thinned out. They came back in so full just like the rest of my hair. You can't go wrong with this Castor oil! Especially for the price! I must admit the downfall is the smell. It smells like an old cigar factory, but I used dry shampoo to cover the smell which really worked. Buy it and you will not be disappointed!
