You all know how much I love Tropic Isle Living Products especially the Jamaican Black Castor Oil - my staple! Well, the lovely owner Lois Reid-Hines (in pic to my right) has put together an amazing 3 part series of the history of Tropical Isle Living, how it became their business (interesting story by the way), the climb, and the future direction of the business. I've had the pleasure of meeting the Hines family and I must say they are truly genuine and such a pleasure to be around. They are so passionate in what they do and put nothing but love behind their products and service.

Approximately 24 minutes into Part Two: The Climb, Lois mentions Hairlicious & Hairlista Inc. as a force that helped increase the online presence of Jamaican Black Castor Oil and Tropic Isle Living as a whole. I am so honoured and humbled to be a part of the TIL (Tropic Isle Living) Story.  JBCO has been my hair growth staple since 2009. I religiously applied it to my scalp and began to notice an increase in growth and thickness in my hair. From then, I began my annual Castor Oil Challenges gathering approximately 500-1000 Hairlista members in each challenge!

The TIL family has supported me over the years and through each and every Castor Oil Challenge. For that, I am grateful and I thank them from the bottom on my heart.

Check out this inspirational and touching 3 part special series below!

This time around, I decided to focus more so on specific areas in my hair i.e. edges, hairline and nape. These areas are typically the weakest areas and the most vulnerable to breakage/thinning.

I'm a huge fan of JBCO - if you didn't know! It's a staple in my regimen. I know I have an old video up that I did years ago but..it needed updating! So, here you go :)
