Is Your Hair Dry? Try This Jamaican Black Castor Oil Treatment
By · Updated December 8, 2014

Jamaican Black Castor Oil (commonly referred to in the curly hair community as JBCO“> is a staple for remedying dry hair, promoting growth, and adding thickness. The winter season is officially upon us, and JBCO works wonders as a hot oil treatment for dry or brittle hair.

What you’ll need

  • Sunny Isle Pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil
  • bottle with applicator tip/cap
  • large mixing bowl
  • Argan or coconut oil (for color-treated hair”>
  • boiling hot water

Directions

1. Mix your JBCO, argan or coconut oil in your applicator bottle. Place the bottle in a bowl of boiling hot water to tone down the thick, heavy consistency of the mixture.

2. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.

3. While you wait, section your wet, detangled hair into 6 mid-sized sections. Apply your oil treatment from root to tip and twist your hair or braid it.

4. Once your hair is fully coated with the oil treatment, tie a plastic grocery bag around your head as a cap to seal in the steam and oil. Do this for about 30 minutes.

5. Completely rinse out the oil treatment and apply your favorite leave-in conditioner.

6. Add a curl defining cream for extra definition and hold if you are rocking a wash-and-go that day.
