Hey Ms V, I'm loving your channel. Its very insightful & hee~larry~us...LOL!! I wanted to know if you could do or add a video on Argan oil. I personally did some research but really didnt find that much info on the benefits.
There is a website that explains that the Real Difference between JBCO AND reg. Castor oil is the JBCO more Potent, roasted longer with more ash content making it more potent, Darker and smell different. Thats the real difference. Black tea is what scammers use.
Ok... I really love that scarf... and if I don't win, I would totally like to know how to make it... sooooo can you do a vidjo for it!?!? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease???
I was somewhat skeptical about using castor oil on my fine hair, but thank you for explaining why castor oil can help our hair grow, etc. I applied a little to my scalp this past weekend and my hair feels great. Thanks again.
Ok cool, my question how many oils can u use on your hair, i have been using EVOO like rachel ray says so far and i wanted to add another but i dont want my hair to be over producted with oils u know what i am saying
@juspeak I personally use about 4 different oils...all for different reasons though. Next week I will be doing a series on different oils and what they do for your hair. =)
First of all, your videos always crack me the heck up!!! Anywhoo... My grandmother and mother SWORE by castor oil for YEARS! It's a remedy that our family has always used. I use it even MORE now since I've gone back to my natural state. It does work wonders! I just never really knew WHY it worked so well. Thanks for the video!
I plan on trying castor oil after I get done with my Oyin Sugar Pomades. Castor oil is one of the first ingredients in them and I hope to have the same results as Oyin.
@MsV, My hair lovessss castor oil. Thank you V for making this video. The kimmaytuve leave- in is wonderful too. I can't wait to take out my yarn braids going on 6 weeks now, to wash my hair. I miss my curls... :). My hair has grown out so much.......... !
Very educational. I started to use Rosemary and castor oil combination. I did overdose on the oil during the week and found that it was coming off on my pillow cases (yuck). So I'll definitely try it on wet hair. Thanks a bunch. :)
thanks for the video, I use castor oil for my two daughters and myself. It's really heavy for their hair so I mix it with a little Africa's Best oil and it works great.
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but when I looked at the ingredients for castor oil I was a bit upset. It seems unnecessary to use mink oil. I'm just going to stick with olive oil.
@Czathero It sounds to me that what you are reading is NOT a bottle of unrefined castor seed oil. In fact the bottle that I have in my hands right now reads:
Never been more honored to be called a HomeSkilletto in all my natural born days lol! Thx for this video AND detailed description box cause I been holding out to get the JBCO but wasn't sure of the differences...if any:)) Thx...e
Ms V, Thank u for responding! Yes, I mixed everything just as u showed. I did notice that it wasn't as many, after using the kt leave in, but nevertheless they are still there :-( which results in poofy twist outs. I typically have to do the 2 strand or flat twists smaller than I like..and no matter how much I twirl them at the ends... They say pooooof, Im still here! Btw, I luv luv luv your vids, you are so thorough in everything that you teach! Keep up the good work and keep em comin!
I recently purchased a bottle of Jamaican Black Castor oil and have been using it to seal the moisture into my hair. Since I've been natural I've only used evoo or coconut oil on my hair. But I've heard such great things about castor oil, i had to give it a try. So your video came right on time, thanks for sharing.
...so just to be sure, you do this once a week? would you recommend using shea butter as a sealant after the kimmay tube mix? thanks and don't think I haven't noticed the length;-)
Do you ever use the CAstor oil alone? IT seems too thick. I only use it in my Kimmaytube leave in. I know a lot of people swear by it to seal there ends, maybe I will revisit it for that. Your hair always looks nice and moisturized!
@MsVcharles Okay I watched the entire vid..not sure how I missed that. Okay, so you put it on top of the leave in.immediately after so your hair is still wet. Okay I may try that.
GIRL!!!! THATS THE SAME CASTOR OIL I USE...my mom was like thats not the castor oil to use on your hair...i was like, hmmm Ima use ti anyways...thanks for this video...ill show her later. LOVE IT GIRL
Thank u for the Kimmaytube leave in recipe. I used it and it helped tremendously! I have a ? about ends that wont quite twist like the beginning of the twist. I have trimmed my ends also. What could I be doin wrong.. Some twists end up just poofy at the end **sad face** anyone's response is absolutely welcomed! Thanks!
@Kshcrowley I remember when KimmayTube posted her video...she mentioned that puffy ends were the results of the hair cuticles not laying down. What exactly are you putting into your mix? Are you adding different things or are you using the exact recipe?
I have just found your channel. I stayed up all night watching as many videos as I could. My husband thought I had lost my mind, but I have been Entertained and informed. Love both you and your family. You stho crazy rofl.
My hair so loves Castor Oil.. it is the perfect sealant!! Thank you for the scoop on the JBCO vs Reg Castor oil.. at one point I was everywhere trying to figure out what the big hype was about. I mean if I can get a cousin to bring some up from JA ok if not I will not pay these CRAZY prices for a 4oz bottle!
@xandria20 Haha...I cant believe you remember that...lol. Well to be honest it is and its not...lol. The reason this started is because I used to do the Peace sign with the back of my hand showing until a few of my viewers overseas told me that is how they sign "the middle finger". So I listened to their advice and turned my hand palm out.
@xandria20 Now as for the "V"...my sign name is really stupid so I am looking to create a new name (lol). However I do hold up the "V" when introducing myself to people. You'd be suprised at how many people call me "B" when I say they can call me "Vee"...lol
I’m sooo torn…I hear a lot of good things about castor oil, but then I found this on Terressentials website: castor oil (castor beans yield the biotoxin ricin) :( :/ ???
@jackalo34 It is important to note that many cosmetic products we are already using contain castor oil...especially facial products...however "ricin is removed from the oil. So it's not likely that one would be exposed to ricin by using a cosmetic product [or castor oil]". -greenlivingqa
@jackalo34 "As far as castor oil is concerned, she [Diana of Terressentials] acknowledged that the danger is not in the using of castor oil, but rather the effects it has on the rest of life and re-reading her website, I did see that she didn't say castor oil was toxic--she said "castor beans yield the biotoxin ricin." -greenlivingqa
Thanks for the information V. I've enjoyed using a processed castor oil to seal in the moisture in my hair and have loved the results. Bc I don't want to waste money, I'm waiting for it to run out (I've got less than a 1/4 cup left) and when I get some cold-pressed castor oil I will begin appyling it to my scalp as I've always struggled with scalp issues. Anything that is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial would be my best friend up up there right about now...
@swtcarmel1 This is one of those things that I personally question. I would like to do more research on this before I put out info on it. However, I use castor oil year round (2 years+) and my hair is always moisturized and never dried out.
@MsVcharles i understand what you mean... I have had times that my hair felt like straw from coconut oil, but not castor oil... some say coconut oil has protein and that is why, but the nutritional facts on my coconut oil says that there are 0 proteins... I have read that castor oil is a humectant and heard many naturals say this, but i have no scientific basis... it is always good to use caution when trying a new products... let me know if you find some facts?
my hair seemed to grow faster when i was using castor oil, I looooove castor oil in my hair! when I'd do wash n gos and use that as my sealant it also made my curls pop like no other plus dried soft. I've been out for a few months and can def tell a difference
My grannies swore by castor oil. My skin has become super sensitive during the last few years and it seem castor oil is the only thing I can use on my face. I've noticed my eyelashes are thicker. At first, I was worried and had to stalk the internet to glean more info about i! Voluptuous eyelashes = sweet; extra facial hair, not so much!
@imacdiva Yes, for a while I was using castor oil as my moisturizer (may go back to using it) and my skin was soooo soft and clear. But a little goes a LONG way...lol
Great vid! I tried the kimmaytube leave-in while I was transitioning but it was too heavy for my hair at the time. I think I will revist it now that I'm natural. Thanks for the reminder!!
I have a question it maybe a stupid one but here it is anyway. What will happen to the kimmytube leave in if you don't put it in the frigerator and why do you need to put it in the frigerator!
@nakeamorris25 Hi u have to refrigerate it because of the Aloe Vera Juice it will become rancid other wise:-) There r no stupid questions, stupid is not asking what u don't know take care hon:-)
@nakeamorris25 The aloe vera juice will go rancid and smell like...well, rotten juice. It probably wouldn't be dangerous in any way, but who wants their hair smelling like rotten juice?
If you just make enough for one or two uses you could use it up before it gets a chance to go bad in which case you could just leave it out at room temperature.
You're kinda goofy, lol, but that's okay :) I didn't think it would be a good idea to put castor oil on my scalp because I thought it would be too oily, but I may try it to see how it goes...
My mom used to use cator oil on my scalp. When I sed to wear braids, she use the brown bottle tho. It funny when go natural sometimes you do old school hair practices. I like to message in my scalp when taking down braids or twistouts. really works
vitacost.com sells a 32 oz of castor oil for $10... their shipping is free after $49... they r a great online health food store... i ordered aloe vera gel and some other perishables and they sent it to me in a refrigerated box... awesome cs.
@scholarchic When using heat (blow dry and flat iron) I apply my leave-in and replace my castor oil for grapeseed oil or a heat protectant. Grapeseed oil is a natural heat protectant and can withstand heat of up to 420 degrees.
I had the biggest problem with retaining moisture until I started using castor oil (and the L.O.C. method). I had to moisturize 2 times a day every day and that still wouldn't keep my hair moisturized. Now my hair stays moisturized pretty much until my next wash day (4-5 days). I'm not sure about using it on my scalp though. My scalp itches now and the only thing I can think of that is doing it is the castor oil.
@curlskinksandcoils Yes it would be the castor oil. I read an article explaining this and it mention that it is because the castor oil is detoxing your scalp (from all the checmicals and what not that have been obsorbed into the skin). I experienced this as well for about 1-2 weeks. But now that my scalp is healthier I no longer experience the itching. =)
I love using my JBCO on a freshly washed scalp. I have to mix 1oz of jbco with 1/2oz of grape seed oil and a few drops of tea tree oil. It thins out the jbco and gives me more soothing and purifying benefits for my scalp. It really helps my scalp cuz I've been having some scalp issues such as flakes dryness and itching. And like u V i only use a little and only on wash days. Thanks for explaining the benefits of castor oil. Btw....I actually like the smell of jbco ;)
@misstinthehouse Right on! Haha..you are the first Ive come across to say that. But then again its like me liking the smell of newspaper...hmmmmm...lol
@pearly122009 I read an article explaining this and it mention that it is because the castor oil is detoxing your scalp (from all the checmicals and what not that have been obsorbed into the skin). I experienced this as well for about 1-2 weeks. But now that my scalp is healthier I no longer experience the itching. =)
I have been wanting to ask this question for a while, I hope you can answer it. What about the castor oil at the grocery store? You know, the one that doubles as a laxative? Will that castor oil have the same benefits as the one you use? (This question may seem silly, but I really need to know!)
@MzBubblez2691 hey girly, it depends on which brand of jbco you purchase. i recently purchased the "sunny isle" castor oil and it has NO bad smell at all. I love it girl. I think the "tropical" brand is the one that I hear a lot of bad reviews as far as smell. :)
@MzBubblez2691 Depends on how you define "stank" LOL. I use Jamaican Black Castor Oil and I really like the scent. Some people (most people actually) don't care for it too much.
is there a certain castor oil you have to use because I have isoplus castor oil is that the same

my hair seemed to grow faster when i was using castor oil, I looooove castor oil in my hair! when I'd do wash n gos and use that as my sealant it also made my curls pop like no other plus dried soft. I've been out for a few months and can def tell a difference

My grannies swore by castor oil. My skin has become super sensitive during the last few years and it seem castor oil is the only thing I can use on my face. I've noticed my eyelashes are thicker. At first, I was worried and had to stalk the internet to glean more info about i! Voluptuous eyelashes = sweet; extra facial hair, not so much!

@imacdiva Yes, for a while I was using castor oil as my moisturizer (may go back to using it) and my skin was soooo soft and clear. But a little goes a LONG way...lol

Great vid! I tried the kimmaytube leave-in while I was transitioning but it was too heavy for my hair at the time. I think I will revist it now that I'm natural. Thanks for the reminder!!

@nakeamorris25 Hi u have to refrigerate it because of the Aloe Vera Juice it will become rancid other wise:-) There r no stupid questions, stupid is not asking what u don't know take care hon:-)
ObedienceOrSacrifice 1 month ago
@nakeamorris25 The aloe vera juice will go rancid and smell like...well, rotten juice. It probably wouldn't be dangerous in any way, but who wants their hair smelling like rotten juice?
If you just make enough for one or two uses you could use it up before it gets a chance to go bad in which case you could just leave it out at room temperature.

@nakeamorris25 You'll have to keep it refrigerated to retard the growth of mold (from aloe vera juice).

can u blow dry and flat iron with the leave-in and castor oil?
scholarchic 1 month ago
@scholarchic When using heat (blow dry and flat iron) I apply my leave-in and replace my castor oil for grapeseed oil or a heat protectant. Grapeseed oil is a natural heat protectant and can withstand heat of up to 420 degrees.

I had the biggest problem with retaining moisture until I started using castor oil (and the L.O.C. method). I had to moisturize 2 times a day every day and that still wouldn't keep my hair moisturized. Now my hair stays moisturized pretty much until my next wash day (4-5 days). I'm not sure about using it on my scalp though. My scalp itches now and the only thing I can think of that is doing it is the castor oil.
curlskinksandcoils 1 month ago
@curlskinksandcoils Yes it would be the castor oil. I read an article explaining this and it mention that it is because the castor oil is detoxing your scalp (from all the checmicals and what not that have been obsorbed into the skin). I experienced this as well for about 1-2 weeks. But now that my scalp is healthier I no longer experience the itching. =)
MsVcharles 1 month ago
@MsVcharles Thanks for letting me know :) I think I'll stick the itchies out and continue to use it on my scalp.

I love using my JBCO on a freshly washed scalp. I have to mix 1oz of jbco with 1/2oz of grape seed oil and a few drops of tea tree oil. It thins out the jbco and gives me more soothing and purifying benefits for my scalp. It really helps my scalp cuz I've been having some scalp issues such as flakes dryness and itching. And like u V i only use a little and only on wash days. Thanks for explaining the benefits of castor oil. Btw....I actually like the smell of jbco ;)

I have been wanting to ask this question for a while, I hope you can answer it. What about the castor oil at the grocery store? You know, the one that doubles as a laxative? Will that castor oil have the same benefits as the one you use? (This question may seem silly, but I really need to know!)

@MzBubblez2691 hey girly, it depends on which brand of jbco you purchase. i recently purchased the "sunny isle" castor oil and it has NO bad smell at all. I love it girl. I think the "tropical" brand is the one that I hear a lot of bad reviews as far as smell. :)
