I don't know what it is, but my hair is literally addicted to/loves/adores/craves Castor Oil!!

I've tried both Coconut Oil & Castor Oil as a sealant, scalp oil, prepoo etc. and my hair ALWAYS responds better with Castor Oil. Am I the only one?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Coconut Oil....I still like it and use it every wash day in my conditioners, however, Castor oil is the #1 oil that I leave on my hair (as a sealant and scalp oil) making it extremely soft. For some reason, if I use Coconut oil the same way I would use Castor oil, I end up with hard/crunchy hair.

I'm curious to know what you prefer out of these oils. Please let me know :-)

Below are some recent hair photos. I stretched my relaxer out to 13 weeks - it was quite hard at times I must admit. The most my hair (especially since it's so coarse and highly textured) can tolerate is 10-11 weeks post. The longer I stretch, the more hair I lose . I learned my lesson! LOL

Moving on...I lightly trimmed my hair twice since I last relaxed in November 2009. I did this because I noticed some split ends and they had to go because I'm in the Healthy Ends Challenge on Hairlista Inc.

I feel like I haven't gained much length this time around (plus I gave my scalp a break from JBCO for a while..don't worry I will continue using it again starting tonight..I slacked off big time. No more excuses). Overall, I'm pretty happy with the health - which is most important.

FYI, I'm still on my quest to MBL...it's taking some time...but I'm loving the journey nonetheless .

Goals I Met from June 2009 Personal MBL Check Up:

• CONSISTENTLY Apply Jamaican Black Castor oil (not a fan of the regular Castor oil - sorry) to scalp 3x/week part of the Castor Oil Challenge Pt.2
  
• Increase/maintain thickness (hair & ends)
• Keep up with light protein weekly
• Incorporate more oils into regimen
• Co-wash 1x/week part of the Summer 2009 Co-wash Challenge
• Take Multi-Vitamins Daily & Fish Oils

New Goals:

• Apply JBCO to scalp 3 times a week after wash day
• Take Multi-Vitamin and Omega 3-6-9 capsules daily
• Drink 8 glasses of water daily
• Exercise 3 times a week (I got a new membership..YAY Me!)
• Increase shine and soften texture (hard goal but I'm willing to take on the challenge)
• Buy a new steamer (my Hair Therapy Wrap broke..will explain later)
• Simplify regimen and products even more!

Check'em out:
