Is this castor oil any good? Does it aide in hair growth/thickness? Also is it really unrefined? Thanks.

Greetings Julie, Our castor oil is sourced directly from Haiti and is 100% unrefined. Our unrefined castor oil boasts 99% Ricinoleic acid which is the functional property that makes it effective for attracting moisture into your hair and aiding in hair growth/thickness.

Hi Lisa, i personally didńt like this product. I found it to be full of chemicals and with a fake smell. I would recommend 100% pure, organic Argan Oil. A little gies a long way and it is great for your and your babýs hair and scalp. My wife uses it every day on both our kids hair and skin, especially during the winter. She likes the Zakia's Morocco oil. Good luck and best regards.

This is natural product with natural ingredients like Black Castor oil,shea butter,Avocado oil,lavender,vitamin E ,Grape seed oil etc.It is mainly for moisturizing,nourishing and preventing dryness of hair and scalp.It is good for stopping thinning and supportive for growth but still not guaranteed for hair growth since hair loss can be due to so many reasons

I love the oil, it smells good, it has some really great ingredients, on how long for it to work would depend on what you want, it helps with the dryness in my hair, I don't notice if my hair is any thicker, but it does help with dryness, you just use a few drops, and it smells really good!

Hi Michelle, I ended up not purchasing his product due to the high number of negative reviews. I opted for just using regular castor oil I purchased at Walgreen's. I apply a small amount of the oil to my fingers then onto my eyelashes and eyebrows about an hour before I go to bed every-other-night. I've noticed since using the castor oil (about 6 months now) that my eyelashes are longer and healthier. Also, my right eyebrow finally started growing back in as well and I actually had to tweeze it for the first time in over a year. An added an unexpected benefit: I don't suffer from dry-eye as much, either. (FYI: I'm 51 years old, and going through the "change" but looking at more natural options, rather than things that contain questionable chemicals to deal with my "deficiencies." GOOD LUCK TO YOU!)

I suppose it depends on the reason you are wanting the oil. This has drying agents in it so that the hair is not greasy, but is still coated lightly. I have used pure oil on my hair, but not argon oil, and didn't like what it did to pillows or silk shirts when putting them on over my head. Both myself and my elderly mother use this product and like it very much. Her hair is silver and very dry and mine is dry-ish, short and fine, but thick, but I live in the desert and everything on my body is dry!!

YES!! I have had my locs for almost 12 years now and I have to say that JBCO is the best oil that I have ever used! It makes my hair soft, but without the overly greasy feeling. It is even better on the scalp. It has helped my grow faster and has strengthened my locs as well.

I was not using the product for hair growth. I was using the product as a moisturizer. My hair did grow but I use several different products on my hair. The product is very sick, so I also ordered emu oil from Amazon at the same time and mixed the two products; along with Moroccan argon oil.

In my opinion it does. I really like the product. I have been using it for over 3 months now. I have no problems with recommending the product. Get the Tropic Isle Jamaican Castor Oil and the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food as well.

Yes, though keep in mind Perming can damage the hair. The castor oil will help to keep it healthy.

A little goes a long way. Start off with no more than a half dollar size for the entire head if your hair is thick, quarter size if you have fine to medium hair. Massage it thru with your fingers, comb or brush for even distribution. I personally don't feel it is greasy afterwards...really it soaks right in. I have used at least 10-15 different natural oils on my hair, so I speak from experience. As always you have to experiment a little before you know how much for sure. It's great as a hot oil treatment too!

Hello. I think this is good, it is not has a lot of oil, but if your skin is delicate, please do not use it. I bought one to my sister, she is very delicate. For her was not good but I use and for me is nice. My skin does not have any problem.

I use this on my hair just for added moisture when needed. I have not heard it helps growth but be careful it can make your hair very greasy. I have extremely dry hair and if I put too much on it shows. But I love this product! I use it on my skin even works great in breakouts, cuts and even sore muscles. It's an overall awesome product.

Castor Oil is Rich in Vitamin E and Essential Fatty Acids. Castor oil is a great hair oil, but it can be very thick and viscous. So some women may end up having a bad hair experience with the oil. In fact, it's not uncommon for a woman to get immediately turned off from using this oil because it left her hair all sticky and icky. Still this oil is simply amazing for the health of your hair and scalp. So the best way to use castor oil is on wet hair. Use Less Oil. Using "less is more." Mix With Other Oils -Since castor oil is so thick and heavy, it may be best to "lighten" it up with other oils. There's no law that says you can't mix your emollients. In fact, I've been using a great mixture that includes equal parts castor oil, olive oil and fresh rosemary. This is a wonderful hair oil- and it smells great too!

It's great for all hair types. Red Pimiento and Castor Oil alone rejuvenate your follicles, causing them to grow in fuller, stronger and longer. This stuff is the real deal. Use it 2-3 times a week and you might just see dramatic results in a month or two. I say go for it. Make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients. It has an organic smell, but it fades over time. Good luck on your hair endeavors :-)

I use it for hair growth and have dabbed a bit on my eyebrows that were all but gone and I have seen hair growth. For my hair I mix it with Jamaican castor oil and my edges are growing in nicely.

How does the consistency of this oil compare to coconut oil? I find that coconut oil is wonderful for most uses (including my skin) but that it's a little too oily for my hair. I'm looking for a nice face oil and would probably use this on my hair if it's not too heavy.
