My Relationship

Oh Glory!.... It's Saturday... That special time of the week where my hair and I hang out and chill. See right now we are having relationship issues... one that I never anticipated. I thought by now we would have developed a symbiotic relationship; where I tell it what to do and it does it. :-) 

Alas we have a true dictatorship. My hair is in total control. You see I can't tell it what to do; she does what she wants. If I say lay down; she says curly up. If say curl up; she says play dead. That is why our relationship is such a secret... for years we have been growing our bond behind weaves and wigs. No one really knows what she really looks like. It is not because I am ashamed, I LOVE MY HAIR with a passion. She just doesn't go out that much. Could this be why my hair never quite does what I wanted to do?
 
Right now after a nice wash with our trust JBCO shampoo (see review below) we are having a baggying session. Will she love me more? Or shall the battle continue? Let the games begin :-)

Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo (with Shea Butter)   



Hello everyone! I am so happy to do my review on the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo. Being an avid user of Jamaican Black Castor Oil (by avid I mean; I use it on my skin and hair) I was really interested to see how a shampoo made by this company would work for my hair.

So let's talk about the ingredients. It's made up of some really wonderful stuff:
Jamaican Black Castor Oil , Pimento Oil , Lavender and Lemon Oils, Aloe Vera and Rosemary Extract, Organic Saponified Coconut, Olive and Jojoba Oils and Vegetable Gylcercine.
Contains NO: Sulfates, Parabens or Alcohol!

Based on ingredients alone: I love this stuff. Now for application. I wet my hair then applied the shampoo. The lather is incredible and it gets your hair clean in one wash. Marvelous! It feels great on your hair and makes your scalp feel clear and clean while giving your hair a nice shine and softness. It also has a nice smell.

After washing I proceeded to "t-shirt dry" and apply the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Conditioner.

Jamaican Black Castor Oil Protein Conditioner  


The Jamaican Black Castor Oil Protein Conditioner is great but I have felt better :-(
I applied it to my hair and left if on for an hour. Maybe it was a little too much protein for me but it did leave my hair a little harder than it was after my shampoo. I will continue to use it... I did pay for it after all :-D

Maybe after a couple of uses it might grow on me... who knows... but I will definately let you know!
