@Futurempmw no, it's not. i don't interlock my hair, i just retwist the roots. interlocking is when you thread the end of the loc through the root. do a YT search and you can see how it's done.
OMG Luv Luv Luv you, thank you so much for helping me, cuz my biggest problem are my baby hair....lol. I just always try to twist the baby hair in with my locs whenever i wash my locs and hope that they will combine lol. this method will for sure help me to maintain the baby hair.
@Tiphany757 if you have Caucasian hair then you'll need to wash it out. but on African American textured hair you can leave it in because out hair is naturally dry and will just absorb the oil
I don't know if anyone's said this, as I haven't read the comments, but could it be that rubbing/massaging the hairline has stimulated root growth - and not the castor oil? Just asking... Good job, though.
@dillydalian no, castor oil is a natural remedy that has been used for a variety of things including hair loss and muscle soreness. i'm sure massaging helps in some small way, but the oil is what's really doing the job
I also use the Jamaican Black Castor oil and I've seen a vast difference in my hair line. A loctician recommended it to me because I have very thin hair lines.....I've been using it for the past 3mths and it really, really works......I can testify.....lol..... Great video....
@MsReddwine nice! I just made an update to this video to show my progress after using it for a full year. it really does work, which is so refreshing because so many products claim to help grow hair an really don't
I'm nine months in on my second set of locs. I have eczema in my scalp and theres two locs at my hair line that are having issues locing. The only thing that helps these two stay put is beeswax. I don't have an issue using it on just two locs. Because of my scalp I can't use alot of different things. Thanks for any help you can give me.
@MrsPickle626 please don't use beeswax! wax traps in dirt and moisture and can lead to smelly, moldy locs. are those 2 loc'd at all? are you trying to combine them?
WHOOOAH!! THE HAIR LINE! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!! Why am I JUST seeing ur videos?? omg! (listen, dont freak out when i say this, but.. *come closer*.. ((((((I LOVE U ALREADY!!!!)))))))
HI there, I'm going to buy this for myself and my locks...I got some breakage and thinning after having my babies.
Hey, do you think that the Black castor oil is ok to use on a 1 year old? My daughter has some thinning around her temple and is forming slightly visible ring around the back of her head??
I was just checking out the video statistics for people all over the world who've watched this vid. That one little dot of gray on the south west coast of australia? THAT'S ME, GUURL! lol 8oD
Are you still using the Jamaican Black Castor Oil? I was thinking about getting it for my mom, her hair line thinned out after a stylist braided the edges to tight.
Not trying to be insensitive or anything, just a general question, is the castor oil specifically for your hair type or can it be used by Caucasian hair too? Very helpful btw, Ive never heard of castor oil to promote hair growth :)
@MorganRae18 thanks for being cautious with your question, but i don't think it's insensitive at all. i actually don't know anything about using this product on Caucasian hair. my knowledge is based on my personal experience, and that of others that have shared their results with me. i'd suggest doing some research online and perhaps giving it a try on your own. i don't see how using the product will hurt your hair. if you try it out please take before and after photos and share them with me!
Hi Francesca.. LOOOOVE your vids and your graphic design work. Saw your article in Loc'd Life mag and checked out your site/blog. You are an inspiration of success in many areas! Continue! :D Saw this vid there and since you did it in Dec '10, wondered if you could post an update since it's been about 5-6 months post. Thanks again for your amazing vids and work! Be blessed :D
OMG! Thank you so much for posting this video. There are so many women out here that have had their haorlines damaged because of microbraids and other hairstyles that cause women to pull at their hairlines for "neatness". I don't even necessarily believe it's only because of the tension, but because most of us don't know how to take care of the hair. JBCO is so nice because it makes your hair soft, like you said, and makes it grow phenomenolly fast. Thanks again for the tips!
wow, that sewing the baby hairs back into the locks is really interesting...I've got alot of problems with some bits of hair(about 2 inches long) that simply REFUSE to lock in with the rest of my hair. I'm definitely gonna try that out. :) So grateful for the advice.
@AKIYIAKELLY Hi I want to know, I have seen a video here saying that the bjco really has a bad smell. Has that been your experience? And if so what did you do to fix it or is there a particular kind you use and where do you get it?
Hello Chescalocs! Do you follow a ritual "every two week retwist" regimen? I work out six days a week so I tend to go four weeks (incorporate sponge rollers in between to disguise new growth). Is there any tension on your scalp for retwisting every two weeks? Thank you for the advice.
After doing some searching online I'm a little confused as to weather you have to wash it out. And I"ve read about being careful not to get it in your hair which I don't understand because it obviously will. Do you wash it out after? If so is it hard to wash out? Any buildup?
@afronique no, i don't wash the product out after applying it to my hair. but i wash my hair every 2 weeks. i've been using it for about 7 months and haven't experienced any build up. where have you read not to put castor oil in your hair? if you visit the black castor oil site, you'll see that it's sold as a haircare product.
@afronique and after recently speaking with a loctician that i met at an international hair show, it seems that black castor oil has been a kept secret in the black hair community for years. everyone's process is different and i'm not here to tell you what you should do with your hair. at the end of the day, i'm just sharing my experience. it's up to you to decide what's the best method for you. best of luck!
@chescalocs - Thanks for responding and so quickly. I just googled it and found sites that weren't necessarily for hair that say not to so I wasn't sure if maybe they were referring to Caucasian hair. So I found some people that would put it in relaxed hair but I wasn't sure if it was easy to get out of locs. Yeah on the JBCO sites they say you can use it as a hot oil treament so I wasn't sure if that meant they encourage you to always wash it out after. Thanks that helps, I'm going to try it.
Hey I have braids , my left side the hair is thinning where there is even a tiny bald spot. Do you suggest I use the black castor oil to regrow my hair in the bald spot? and to make my hairline stronger and thicker?
Enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing them. I am a Jamaican living in the USA and also have a problem with my hairline. Black Castor Oil has been used in Jamaica for many many years especially as a hot oil treatment. I have been in search of it in my local beauty supplies stores here in the USA but to no avail. Thanks for the info as to where to get it. I know once I get it, I'll be okay. Thanks also for the trick with the sewing. great tip! Will definitely try it. All the best to you. Irie!!
Thank you for this. I've been using The Roots gel pomade on my hairline and it has made it grow like mad. I have been trying to figure out how to marry these little buds with my locs. I'm definitely doing this tonight!
@chescalocs wow this stuff is amazing it has my hair looking good and they seem to have thickened up as well..Thanks for the tip. this stuff is pretty cheap on amazon good find!
You are so down to earth...you always bring good information. I love the fact that you don't take credit for things that you find on YT or online..you give credit where credit is due. With so many subbers we wouldn't know if you came up with something yourself...but, you in your great personality give credit where it is due. Thank you for being you~!! Have a great day~!!
omg! I have been using this stuff for years and my bottles are always as icky as yours...there are lots of imitations out there though! I have to order mine online as well! when i first started my loc journey a west indian woman with locs down to her bum told me to try it when I expressed concern for my "kitchen area". awesome!
Speaking of hairlines...I've recently seen a bit about loc brushing, especially to distribute the oils through loc'd hair roots. Thoughts? Tips? Quips?
@TemperChild4 I am the poster child for peppermint. I've been using that since I started my locs and it has def worked for me. Im def gonna try the JCBOPmnt together because I really don't like Dr.M. Thanks so much for the suggestion!!
Oh my jeezy!! My hairline is the WORST!! I am def going to try this out!! I've been using Dr. Miracle and it has worked for me, but I think I'm going to give the JBCO a try and my next wash I'm def gonna thread up my needle!! I LOVE your channel!!
@athinkinwoman I think part of the reason DR.miracles worked is because of the menthol and cloves in it. try peppermint oil and jbco mixed. i think that would be somewhat similar.
I wish I had found this video before I cut all my locs off. My hair had started thinning real bad in the middle of my head and around the edges. I cut my locs to save my hair. Thank you for an amazing video.
Great product review...I did see a different in the thickness of your hairline too. My hairline is pretty thin all the way around because the texture is realllly soft and thin...I notice that it looks better after I re-twist vs. leaving it untwisted, etc. I'll see if I can find some of this in whole foods..thanks for sharing and showing your results!
I had the same hairline problem, but I stay away from oil because of buildup. I simply twist my hair more gently at the hairline and use aloe vera gel because it evaporates and my hairline is pretty healthy now.
I love your hair and your videos... i wanted to know if you think its ok to dye locks? I am seeing alot of grayin my locks and I was wondering if it would be healthy for my hair to dye it?
@cbluver2316 i need to do another video on this topic. personally, i stay away from dye because i've had damage from it in the past. my best suggestion would be to see a professional colorist to avoid damaging your hair.
something u may wanna try that i do... i know you may not be partial to interlocking but after i did the hairline maintenance with the first time, i interlocked my front row so the hair i sewed in stays in place more and i leave it alone and dont wash my hair for another two weeks so the hair stays in the lock instead of palm rolling bcz then the hair sometimes will com out faster. just a suggestion but ur hairline is lookin good. keep up with the vids girl! <3
@LadyT7381 As I said in the video, I purchased mine at a beauty supply, but I also put a link in the video description box to a site where you can purchase it online.
OMG! Thank you! my edges and some spots in my head, the texture is really straight and it bothers me that the hair just never want to lock..but now I can get it there!! yay!! I'm new to your channel but I'm loving it. I've had my locs for about 5 years now and you're styles have been so helpful! I just did the pipe cleaner curls and I love them!
I like my hair nappy and not overly done at the roots. This is a good skill to have in my toolbox though if I ever wanna reeeaaallly neaten them up. I always gave you a o_O when you complained about your hairline. I don't get the whole hairline thing. Folks always tell me i have a great one. Some lady wanted to do my hair in a hair show. I never thought it was something that could be pretty (like elbows or the back of knees...they just ARE) Glad yours is coming in though! CONGRATS
@adihsar yeah, i guess it's just personal preference. when my hair fell out in high school i was DEVASTATED. just ask my mother, i was a complete mess. so even though it's grown significantly since then, in my head it looks a lot worse only because i remember what it was like before the damage. in the big scheme of things i know it's silly though. werk your hairline for what it's worth! you should've said yes to the hair show and requested a CHECK! lol
Thanks for link on where to purchase the black castor oil at I will be buying some and letting you know how it turns out.. Also I went back and looked at video ( it was 4am in the morning and I was at work. I work 3rd's ) I had another question I usually get mine loc's latched to tighten up the new growth, but it's getting pretty expensive to do sometimes so here is what I was wondering. Will that prevent me from being able to still have it latched by sewing in the baby hair?
@HappyNappywoman thank you for listening and checking the video description box! LOL i don't think sewing your baby hair will prevent you from getting it interlocked. i just got a comment suggesting i use interlocking with the sewing to keep the hair in place, so you should be fine. have you ever considered interlocking your own hair? there are tons of tutorials on youtube that can help you. check it out! it'll prob save you tons of money!
OMG...first of all, this product truly has worked for you. Before I loc'd in 2008 my edges were always thinned from countless creamy crack! LoL This is such a great technique and I can't wait to try this out and do a vid as well! Thanks so much for sharing gurlfriend!
*smiles* here I am...seriously, I've been here in GA trying to adapt to life but in the process I've neglected my channel a lil bit. No worries though...I'll be back first of the year with tons of updates n stuff! Thanks so much for asking. (◠‿◠)
@kokofemme thanks! i'm really excited about the progress. my edges are thin for the SAME REASON. i always feel bad when i see women with these horrible hairlines because of weaves and perms :( can't wait to see your video!
Great job with using this needle & thread method on your hairline. My hair is really fuzzy at the roots all over, so i'll use this method every once in a while if I need to. If my hairline is really fuzzy then i'll just touch up this area. Your locs look great by the way! ~Dewdrop
@DynamicRunner thanks! and thanks again for providing such a great tutorial! it's really made a difference in my locs. trying to tame that baby hair into submission! lol
@LuvArlynKisz my hairline became thin way back in high school, year 2000, after a bad dye job reacted poorly with my perm. i dyed my bangs at home and when i got my perm touched up my hair just started falling out. if you watch my happy birthday hair video i talk about it. i was super embarrassed and used headbands to cover it up, which probably made it worse. even after going natural it's just never fully recovered until i started using castor oil.
@chescalocs thanks for the response.... sorry you had to go thru that... my mom keeps telling my not to get locs because my hairline will recede... do u think heavy locs can contribute to receding hairlines?
@LuvArlynKisz ah it's ok. at the time i was upset, but looking back it wasn't as earth shattering as i believed. lol. does your mom have locs? just curious as to how she would be an authority on such matters...receding hairlines are due to genetics or extreme stress on the hairline as a result of pulling (extensions or very tight ponytails) or chemicals. in my experience, my locs aren't heavy or any heavier than loose hair so i can't see it contributing to a receding hairline
@LuvArlynKisz truth is, you can't predict how your hair is going to respond to anything. if you want locs, get them. it's your hair, not your mom's. and if you're afraid of poor results or what might happen, then don't get them. you're the only person that can make the right choice for yourself. best of luck
Terrific video as usual, very informative. After viewing your vids, I use to think I was going the interlocking route with the onset of my lock journey, but I think I'll keep my lock technique simple (palm roll/twist). ;)
Love it! Thanks for making this vid. My edges are still a little damaged from when I use to get braids. It started growing back and I was able to make new baby locks. But the temple area is still being difficult...makes me look like an old man with a receding hairline. I'm gonna try the castor oil. Merry Christmas!
Great vid! I've had a ridiculously stressful year and started having some thinning in my crown area. I've been using the Jamaican Black Castor Oil since September and I can see a difference. I haven't loss any locs butI hate how the thinning looks. And with the area that has started to fill I feel like I could totally have another loc there soon. It'll be a baby compared to the other 2 yr old locs i have but it'll still be a loc
@BeautywithinSherry the bottle i have is by tropic isle living. according to the bottle it's 100% natural jamaican black castor oil but it's clear and doesn't really have a smell. i notice some commenters have complained about the smell, but the bottle i have doesn't have a particular smell at all. hope that helps.
@dina237 thanks for your input! my hairline is thin after a bad dye job that reacted poorly with my relaxed hair back in high school (2000ish). a lot of my hair fell out as a result and it just never recovered.
@chescalocs i don't think your hairline is too bad at all btw, but like i said, i can see how the castor is having a positive effect! i mention those factors purely because that's how my locs got into trouble before... all good now!
Yes Yes! Love it... gonna add this product to my OWN Christmas stocking.... today. :) And yes, my front edge baby hairs are just as rebellious. I'm so crazy pumped about that technique. (hey, it's the little things! lol) Just the other day I was considering & trying to see which two locks to combine in the front, so as to create a better, more clean hairline...and without destroying the sections too much. Aww, enough rambling, going to get my needle and thread. This is perfect. :) Thanks!
i love the black Castor oil. that is the best trick for getting fuzziness that I've ever seen. the Castor oil is good for hot oil treatments, especially on the scalp for any dandruff issues, when i use that i don't have to moisturize for at least a week. thank you for sharing.
Three years and my hairline hasn't locked in places. I have been using Dr. Miracles's hair growth- on my hairline which is comprised mostly of an essential oil mix. I have noticed a slight difference in growth and softness. I have some little" bee dee bee coils-2) and I will use this method to integrate them. Thank you so much for sharing....I'm almost there.
Thanks for the vid:). I don't know how much of a difference the different kinds of castor oil has on hair but which one did you buy (lite, dark, or extra dark)?
@cocoa8872 mine doesn't say. but it's actually clear. it's not the same brand as the one i listed in the video description box. i couldn't find that same brand online.
oh this is the interlocking method

Oh my jeezy!! My hairline is the WORST!! I am def going to try this out!! I've been using Dr. Miracle and it has worked for me, but I think I'm going to give the JBCO a try and my next wash I'm def gonna thread up my needle!! I LOVE your channel!!
athinkinwoman 1 year ago
@athinkinwoman I think part of the reason DR.miracles worked is because of the menthol and cloves in it. try peppermint oil and jbco mixed. i think that would be somewhat similar.

Great product review...I did see a different in the thickness of your hairline too. My hairline is pretty thin all the way around because the texture is realllly soft and thin...I notice that it looks better after I re-twist vs. leaving it untwisted, etc. I'll see if I can find some of this in whole foods..thanks for sharing and showing your results!

I had the same hairline problem, but I stay away from oil because of buildup. I simply twist my hair more gently at the hairline and use aloe vera gel because it evaporates and my hairline is pretty healthy now.

chescalocs 1 year ago
something u may wanna try that i do... i know you may not be partial to interlocking but after i did the hairline maintenance with the first time, i interlocked my front row so the hair i sewed in stays in place more and i leave it alone and dont wash my hair for another two weeks so the hair stays in the lock instead of palm rolling bcz then the hair sometimes will com out faster. just a suggestion but ur hairline is lookin good. keep up with the vids girl! <3

I like my hair nappy and not overly done at the roots. This is a good skill to have in my toolbox though if I ever wanna reeeaaallly neaten them up. I always gave you a o_O when you complained about your hairline. I don't get the whole hairline thing. Folks always tell me i have a great one. Some lady wanted to do my hair in a hair show. I never thought it was something that could be pretty (like elbows or the back of knees...they just ARE) Glad yours is coming in though! CONGRATS
adihsar 1 year ago
@adihsar yeah, i guess it's just personal preference. when my hair fell out in high school i was DEVASTATED. just ask my mother, i was a complete mess. so even though it's grown significantly since then, in my head it looks a lot worse only because i remember what it was like before the damage. in the big scheme of things i know it's silly though. werk your hairline for what it's worth! you should've said yes to the hair show and requested a CHECK! lol
chescalocs 1 year ago
Thanks for link on where to purchase the black castor oil at I will be buying some and letting you know how it turns out.. Also I went back and looked at video ( it was 4am in the morning and I was at work. I work 3rd's ) I had another question I usually get mine loc's latched to tighten up the new growth, but it's getting pretty expensive to do sometimes so here is what I was wondering. Will that prevent me from being able to still have it latched by sewing in the baby hair?
HappyNappywoman 1 year ago
@HappyNappywoman thank you for listening and checking the video description box! LOL i don't think sewing your baby hair will prevent you from getting it interlocked. i just got a comment suggesting i use interlocking with the sewing to keep the hair in place, so you should be fine. have you ever considered interlocking your own hair? there are tons of tutorials on youtube that can help you. check it out! it'll prob save you tons of money!

Great job with using this needle & thread method on your hairline. My hair is really fuzzy at the roots all over, so i'll use this method every once in a while if I need to. If my hairline is really fuzzy then i'll just touch up this area. Your locs look great by the way! ~Dewdrop

did u start using that oil because ur hairline starting receding or is it just like that? jus wondering...
LuvArlynKisz 1 year ago
@LuvArlynKisz my hairline became thin way back in high school, year 2000, after a bad dye job reacted poorly with my perm. i dyed my bangs at home and when i got my perm touched up my hair just started falling out. if you watch my happy birthday hair video i talk about it. i was super embarrassed and used headbands to cover it up, which probably made it worse. even after going natural it's just never fully recovered until i started using castor oil.
chescalocs 1 year ago 4
@chescalocs thanks for the response.... sorry you had to go thru that... my mom keeps telling my not to get locs because my hairline will recede... do u think heavy locs can contribute to receding hairlines?
LuvArlynKisz 1 year ago
@LuvArlynKisz ah it's ok. at the time i was upset, but looking back it wasn't as earth shattering as i believed. lol. does your mom have locs? just curious as to how she would be an authority on such matters...receding hairlines are due to genetics or extreme stress on the hairline as a result of pulling (extensions or very tight ponytails) or chemicals. in my experience, my locs aren't heavy or any heavier than loose hair so i can't see it contributing to a receding hairline
chescalocs 1 year ago
@LuvArlynKisz truth is, you can't predict how your hair is going to respond to anything. if you want locs, get them. it's your hair, not your mom's. and if you're afraid of poor results or what might happen, then don't get them. you're the only person that can make the right choice for yourself. best of luck

I haven't loss any locs butI hate how the thinning looks. And with the area that has started to fill I feel like I could totally have another loc there soon. It'll be a baby compared to the other 2 yr old locs i have but it'll still be a loc

black castor oil is amazing i can see real progress in your photos :)
i always heard the major causes of hairline problems were
a) pulling your hair back too tight
b) retwisting too often and generally playing with the baby hairs (other than oiling) and c) wearing headbands etc can cause thinning.
just thought i'd put that out there!

@chescalocs i don't think your hairline is too bad at all btw, but like i said, i can see how the castor is having a positive effect! i mention those factors purely because that's how my locs got into trouble before... all good now!

Yes Yes! Love it... gonna add this product to my OWN Christmas stocking.... today. :) And yes, my front edge baby hairs are just as rebellious. I'm so crazy pumped about that technique. (hey, it's the little things! lol) Just the other day I was considering & trying to see which two locks to combine in the front, so as to create a better, more clean hairline...and without destroying the sections too much. Aww, enough rambling, going to get my needle and thread. This is perfect. :) Thanks!
