Hi MssKris...

I'm so bad with challenges; I'm sorry. I'm doing a twist challenge with a couple of ladies....but I do know that Castor Oil does work, because I participated in a challenge like this several months ago.

Good luck you will see growth!!!

Thanks girls!! LOL at J.kinky. you can still rub the oil on your scalp w/twists! in fact it's probaby easy to do since the hair is already sectioned. but it's cool. And i LOVE peanut butter!!!! LOL

@KinkyNappy, thanks. I think
I am going to oil my scalp 3 times a week since it says at least twice a week. Do you remember how often you oiled? What is this twist challenge? just to keep your hair twisted up?? Shoot...if so thats easy for me....mine has pretty much stayed in twists for about a month except to wash and when I henna'd. is this a challenge on here or no?

I'll join the castor oil challange.!
Do I have to use jamaican black castor oil?
I need to post pics of the before. I'll do it from home (I'm at work right now ; shhh)
How long wil the challange run?

I'm in. What are the rules? And how do I properly measure my hair? Is there a certain kind of castor oil that has to be used for the challenge?

YAY!!! Thanks ladies!!! Ok, so this challenge was posted before by tiashauntee.

Rules:
1-apply castor oil to scalp at least twice a week, more often depending onhow quickly it is absorbed. You can start this on a day when you wash your hair as the scalp will be clean.
1a-use extra virgin castor oil or just ensure that the oil has no preservatives or salt.
2-do not rinse the castor oil out until your next wash day, giving the oil more time to penetrate the scalp.
3-do not use any other growth aides on your scalp.
Now this last one does not say anything about putting stuff on the actual hair just nothing else on the scalp. You can continue to moisturize the length of your hair as you normally do.

Now as for the length of time, I am shooting for one month for now. If at the end of a month I see some results I/we can extend the challenge.

@ Curlya, I am using regular castor oil that I puchased online at www.vitacost.com. If you already have the JBCO I guess that's fine. Some people say the only diff is it's thinner than regular castor oil.

@Tiff, the way I measured my hair was with a tapemeasure. I just put 0 end to my scalp and as accurately as I could measured by stretching my hair.

Oh and YES, please add pics so we can all see our progress. That would be great!!

Go to http://www.blackhairplanet.com/blog/bhp-castor-oil-challenge/ to see the whole, original set of rules. I had taken some out when I wrote it down in my book because it was just for me. not much extra to it just states to say which kind of castor oil u use and to post pics and if you have reactions to castor oil there are other oils you can use.

So YAY!!! I am so happy you are joining me!!!!. I actually started on Monday and plan to oil my scalp on Mondays, Wednesdays and then on Saturdays which is usually my wash day. I will take a pic this evening when my hubb gets home so he can take a pic of the back of my hair. I took those twists down today and have in cornrows now.

Good luck ladies. If you want to add anything or make suggestions please tell us.

And anyone else who wants to do this challege please do.

I'm gonna repost on natural hair challenge thread as well!

I'm gonna start this weekend. I gotta buy some castor oil, lol. I am broke til Friday, lol

Cool.

I used the oiled every other day, or as needed. This is a thick oil so I didnt' need to use it everyday.

This twist challenge is something I'm doing on my blog. CrissyQ and LaToya are doing it as well. We've set our own rules for our personal challenge; however, we make sure to check on each other. It's not here I have it on my blog and so does CrissyQ, and we keep in touch with LaToya via her CSJ thread!

Oh ok cool. Thanks for the info!

i knw this may sound stupid but where u buy castor oil.....

LOL...J.Kinky, u r so funny!!! And you changed your pic!! You can go to wal-mart and they should have it or any drug store. You know it's a laxative so look in that section and make sure it's 100% castor oil. OR you can go to maybe Whole Foods if you have one where you live or any health food store. OR you can get it online. I bought mine from www.vitacost.com.

lol...girl i didnt know lol. It took me 15 to find evoo in Publix lol....i new to the whole oils thing

Hahahaha!!

I'm late, but I want in!! I will be using JBCO if that's cool.

Ok, I have castor oil and will participate. My hair isn't any where near 11 inches, but I'm in. I will read over the directions and my wash day is tomorrow. Pics to follow.....

Ok, I swear my hair has grown already!!!! Am I crazy???? It seems that I can SEE the new growth (which sounds weird since it's all the same texture where as with a relaxer you can easily see it) but I dunno. I may be buggin but it may really be new growth!!!! I'll know in a few weeks I guess!!! Well by then i'm sure it will have grown!!!
