JBCO has a ton of different benefits and works for all hair types and textures – It will moisturize, thicken, strengthen and rapidly increase hair growth. It increases blood flow to the scalp, supplying valuable nutrients to hair follicles. Jamaican Black Castor Oil will also prevent hair breakage, dandruff, eczema and dry, itchy scalp.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil has crossed over into other ethnic groups and is now being used widely for some of the same purposes, as well as newfound uses including eyelash and eyebrow hair growth and as massage oil. This versatile oil carries many varied uses. It may be a new discovery for some of us, but in fact, it’s been used traditionally in Jamaica for many years.
Unlike plain castor oil, JBCO involves a roasting process, which gives it its characteristic dark color and burnt smell. These properties set it apart from other nourishing oils, like coconut or argan and is more effective because of the ash content due to roasting of the beans. Therefore, it stands to reason that the more ash content, the more effective the oil. This is not a myth, it is evidence based on scientific facts.
