My hair was indeed a hot, fiery mess earlier this month but I got a wild hair and decided to try out the unopened bottle of castor oil I purchased months ago. I poured some into my hand and thought, "Oh gross, what could this do for anyone but loosen the bowels?" It was almost sticky and tough to apply to my hair, but I got it done and tossed on my head rag and waited.
About an hour or so later I decided to shampoo (Cream of Nature's Moisturizing) and condition (Silk Elements Luxurious Conditioning) and hope for the best. And the best was just what I got. My hair was so soft and manageable, where usually I have a lot of tangles I could slide the comb through my hair post-castor oil treatment. I was so excited about that that I decided to twist my hair because it was just so easy to work with. A day or so later, once my twists had completely dried I looked closely at a twist and noticed...what's that?...something I haven't seen since my relaxer days?....oh SNAP, is that SHEEN? I was th-rilled. I didn't think my hair could shine, but man did it ever with that castor oil.
I have worn my twists and currently a twist-out since last Wednesday, almost a week now, and have not had my usual "itchies" or temptation to co-wash to get that product build-up feel out (there hasn't been any!). I don't know what will happen on my next treatment with castor oil, but it makes me so happy I could dance! Who knew it'd work for anything more than the grandparents' remedy for tummy aches? SNAP!
