Tropic Isle Living – Jamaican Black Castor Oil – Plastic PET Bottle 8oz

★★★★★ I was told that I had alopecia and my hair will never grow back look at God the Devil is a Lie this all is truly amazing love it everything about it and this is 4 weeks apart

★★★★★ This is a great product. If you are looking to growing your thinning hair back in then this is the product you want. It does not work overnight. It takes months to see results. I have been using every night for 5 months. I almost quit at the 2nd month didn't feel like I was seeing results. So glad I didn't give up. At 4 months I took pictures of the top of my head and compared them to the day one photos. I was shocked at the difference, and to think I almost gave up. It takes true dedication to put this on every night and get up every morning and wash it out. But I was desperate I was seeing my head shine on top it was so thin. Now, no shiny spots in my head. I will never quit using this product. I feel like I can eventually get a full head of hair like I once had. I am still a work in progress, but no shiny balding spots on top now. Oh, and I am Caucasian so it will work for anyone. Like the review above said watch where you buy it, I also received oil that was more clear and not the same as I had been using. I only buy from this company now. Good luck, stay dedicated and don't give up. First phone May 21,2017. Second phone September 21st

★★★★★ The difference between Jamaican black castor oil and regular castor oil is the method in which it is processed. Both are great for skin and hair health. Pure natural castor oil is a pale yellow/light golden color and is cold pressed. There is no heat involved in cold pressing, the castor beans are just squeezed at high pressure to extract oil from the seeds. The advantage of cold pressing is that you do not harm any of the beneficial nutrients.Be aware that some companies will also use a solvent chemical such as hexane to separate the oil making production quicker and cheaper. So if you go that route, research and make sure that the castor oil you choose is reputable 100% pure and 100% cold pressed without use of chemicals.Jamaican black castor oil gets its distinct smokey roasted smell and darker color by the process in which it is made. Traditionally it is made by1) allowing the seeds to dry out in the sun2) roasting them3) grinding them into a paste4) adding the paste to boiling water5 skimming the oil that rises to the topIt can vary in color from a lighter brown hue to a very dark brown. Sometimes you may see particles settle at the bottom of the bottle, which is just ash from roasting the castor beans.This is a very thick heavy oil. PersonallyI prefer to dilute it.The first way I use it is by combining equal parts extra virgin olive oil with Jamaican black castor oil and a few drops of rosemary essential oil.Great to help promote hair growth and grow back thinning hair. I apply this to my scalp every night or at least every other night before bed, especially focusing on my thinning edges.Second I make a whipped hair butter by1) using the double boiler method I melt equal parts (1/3 cup each) Shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil2) when it has cooled a bit I add in my JBCO, EVOO, and rosemary mixture(1/3 cup)(you can add other essential oils if you choose as well)3) put bowl in the fridge or freezer just until it starts to solidify but not completely solid4) whip up into your desired consistencyThis is a great butter for your hair but can also double as a body butter.Lastly I put straight Jamaican black castor oil with a drop of lavender and rosemary essential oil into an empty mascara type container and I apply that to my eyebrows every night before bed.The jamaican black castor oil is also great to use as a pre poo treatment or even hot oil treatment.The key to seeing results for hair growth, growing back thinning hair and thickening hair is consistency! You have to keep up with it, making it a routine. You cant just give up after a few days or a week and expect results.I have seen results in growing back my thinning edges as well as making my hair thicker, even my eyebrows which were prior quite sparse. It also has made my hair very soft and shiny.
