Castor Oil Challenge via Kinky Curly Coily Me - Week 5: Length Check (Part II)

In case you are wondering why I am posting this again, I realized I accidentally deleted the original post. Oops. Of course things are never as good as the first time, but I would like to try to recreate some of that previous blog magic.

Kinky Curly Coily Me, a website that I frequent is doing a summer castor oil challenge. Use any type of castor oil on your hair a minimum of three days a week for three months. Every week we check in, and June 29th happened to be a length check. I decided to use Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) to help retain moisture, help re-grow my edges (as they have been disappearing over the years), and of course length. How did I do, you ask? Well, take a look:


Yay! My hair grew! It went from being at the tip of my nose to the top of my lip. I have to say, in conjunction with my weekly hair care regimen, the JBCO has helped. Unfortunately, I can't tell with my edges. I am assuming since my hair itself grew, then my edges did a bit too. Sounds good, right? I did take a picture of my edges the day I did my length check, so I will compare at the end of July. As far as retaining moisture, I think it has helped. My hair has remained soft. Even on my lazy days when I don't set my hair for bed, it isn't dried out the next day. Before I started taking care of my hair, I would notice that even though I oiled my hair, it still felt crunchy or dry. With the JBCO, my hair doesn't feel oily either. Definitely a big difference, and I am very happy with my results so far.

If you are reading this for a second time, thanks for hanging in there while I repeated my self. To everyone, thank you very much for reading, it is very much appreciated.

Happy Healthy Hair,
