For 4b hair this product works!
Hi all of my 4b natural hair sisters! While developing my natural hair routine I watched so many vlogs about JBCO. I liked that this seller also sold the applicator bottle (which you WILL need) so I bought it! My order came wrapped perfectly and I didn't understand why it was soooo wrapped up?? but it comes in a GLASS jar! Remember the old days? Quality medicinal products always came in a dark glass jar! So I knew I was on the right track. I waited exactly a month after ordering so I could give you my hair growth results. And it did grow my hair! I am bald at the crown a 2" spot. You know ladies the area where you start your relaxer applications??? *Watch Chris Rock's "Good Hair" to understand how chemicals destroy our hair** But I also read that thyroid problems can cause this, though I have not been diagnosed with a medical condition. The oil is very heavy and thick and does have a very mild "woodsy" smell that you do not smell once you put on your hair. I purposely just applied it to the problem area and after 2 weeks I could gather that hair into a section. After a month I could brush that hair along with the back crown section! I can see about a 1/2 inch of growth! Though I think hair grows a 1/4 inch per month? Just this week I am now starting to use it in my nape area to see if I see some length. I will keep you updated in a month ****As of July 14th I am rocking my curly "fro"! I have a solid 1 inch of growth! I now use the oil along the entire strand to help repair the hair. *****11/01/12 update, If your hair can tolerate old fashioned heavy grease I changed to Blue Magic's Castor Oil, ready my review before you buy or just stick with this one, JBCO just takes a little bit longer to grow the hair***** I also stress that this is for 4ABC girls as our hair care regimen WILL NOT be the same as for 3ABC ladies. Once I accepted I have kinky, curly, soft cotton type hair that does not hold a style; I have been set free to find what works for me.When you are ready to accept that, you will understand. I also want to say you don't have to spend a lot of money either. It's a shame how some of those companies that we try to support charge us $35 to $65 dollars for 1 product. Ladies use: -any of the Herbal Essence products, I like Hydrolicious (purple btl) others swear by Hello Hydration (blue btl) and others for the Honey Line (yellow btl) -Use some good old fashioned CRISCO shortening as your moisturizer,thank you my Dominican Sisters for that tip (also excellent for flat ironing)! -I also use distilled water to wet my hair using a spray bottle when I do my twist/braids. -Visit the Natural Hair Vlogs for beauty tips, I have learned so much and my beauty regime is paying off. And of course, pay it forward to help someone else look as beautiful as can be! :) In conclusion, buy the Jamaican Black Castor oil product, it works and I would not lie to you.
