*~*CASTOR OIL CHALLENGE 2012*~*

Well i wasn't going to but another member congratulated me on reaching APL...so gonna go ahead and claim it. (well the back of my head anyway!) :grin:
I'm 5'11" with long proportions so this is a little achievement for me.

I have ben PSing haaaard, appying CO mix to scalp and ends nearly every day. I do not use heat at all. I apply all products to soaking wet hair on wash day.
I shampoo with a non-sulphate once a week and dc every time. I also switched to Hercules Sagemann combs and have dusted my ends twice since the beginning of Jan '12. I also only comb once a week on wash day.

Still staying faithful to this challenge. I haven't really noticed any increase in fullness but maybe it's there, lol.

Bublin - Congrats!
 
Did a castor massage with cayenne pepper before shampoo last night

Quick question: does the castor oil have to be massaged into the scalp to work? Or can I just smooth it onto my edges & nape like I would a moisturizer?
 
Im still oiling my edges and ends. My edges are filling in. Im not sure if its the castor oil or the phyto vitamins but Im leaning more towards the castor oil. Ive been using it longer and I noticed it filling in before I started the vitamins.

spellinto, I do both. When my hair is styled I will just apply it to my scalp and dab it in. But if I am between styles or prewash I will massage it in and sometimes apply heat to have it soak in.
 
My scalp felt a little dry and tight this morning so oiled it with my coffee castor oil blend. I probably have just enough to make it through March.
 
oiled my scalp with straight castor oil today...i had a little skin irritation on the back of my head and i think the castor oil will help it go away..
 
Dabbed some of my coffee castor oil blend on my scalp and edges. I'm really looking forward to a full scalp massage.
 
Applied castor/coconut oil around my perimeter last night and for the past couple of nights straight. I have also been applying it to the length of my hair as a sealant at night with slightly damp hair. That seems to be working much better, my hair the next day comes out so soft. Before I was putting it on nearly saturated hair at night and because it didn't completely dry by the morning, my hair just felt oily. Guess I needed my hair to dry completely.
 
I'm still massaging my scalp with a castor/emu oil mixture daily. I've started to consistently seal my daughter and I hair with castor oil only and I'm seeing an improvement in our hair's softness, elasticity, and moisture retention.
 
Applied the last of my jbco sulfur 8 mix. Time for a new batch, maybe megatek... I just want to use up my stash of products.
 
Ladies! Ladies! Ladies!

I have been a terrible host as of late. My bad! I've been so friggin' busy. I have a tad bit too much on my plate right now but I'm workin' it out!

Anyways, I am on pause with my Castor Oil because I'm in a sew-in. CO just isnt fitting into my regimen right now.

The challenge is almost over--just a couple more weeks left. Please keep in mind, you must have a beginning and ending photo posted by April 1st to be eligible for the prize.

Hope you all are seeing great progress!
 
Been using my castor oil in a spritz i made for my braids....i wonder if one could flat twist with extensions.... *off to google/youtube*
 
Still using my castor oil. Just used castor oil lastnight on my scalp. Will pre-poo overnight with my castor oil and brahmi oil concoction tonight.
 
I am still oiling and massaging. I lightly applied jbco to my scalp after my shampoo yesterday. I trimmed my ends and applied the oil to them as well.
 
I've been applying castor oil almost daily. Some days I massaged it in but everyday I've been GHEing. My edges are thickening up which I'm happy about.
 
I've been consistent with my oiling...my edges are doing very well and my ends look good too. I routinely GHE as well.
 
I can't believe the challenge will be over next month :(
I've been seeing improvements to my edges. I'm mad I didn't take pictures of that at the start of the challenge.
 
I'm still using JBCO to seal ends, massage on edges and moisturize next-day WnGs. I don't know if it's helped with length any, but my ends sure are NICE! :yep:
 
Hello ladies, I haven't checked in lately but the challenge is still going strong. I am still oiling and messaging with castor oil just about every other day. I did add grapeseed oil to thin it out just a little though. Here is my update pic.
