Hair Pt1 The Girls

Image
So I have began the Jamaican Castor Oil experiment as it is said to be a great tool in aiding hair growth. Since I am also using other products, not sure if I will be able to attribute hair growth to the castor oil, but we shall see. The 1st 4 photos are of Lady O, the 2nd 4 are of Lady C. The 1st photo of each set is just after washing, the 2nd of each set is after brushing, 3rd of each set is back of twist and last photo of each set is front of twist. I used bobby pins to keep the twist flat, something I saw Naptural85 do when she was performing a twist out. (you can google her name and you can get access to her You tube channel, she is awesome).

Hair Growth Challenge

Today is March 1st and I've decided to start a new hair care regime and see how much my hair grows. I have been reading about some folks success with Jamaican Black Castor Oil, so I've decided to give it a try. I made a hair balm with it and I have mixed it in my conditioner, my shea moisture hair milk and I will also mix it with water and put in a spray bottle. Another blogger also talked about using Indian Healing Clay as a pre-poo treatment and I will also do that, prior to washing my hair which I only plan to do twice this month, today and on the 17th. I will also be trying the Castor Oil out on the girls, so look for our 1st pictures later tonight.
