Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Care System

Tropic Isle Living’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil:

An Excellent Scalp Tonic and Conditioner

Tropic Isle Living’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil is traditionally used for a multiplicity of complaints relating to the hair, skin, aches and pains, pregnancy, women's health, constipation, massage, cancer, and much more. To cover all these topics adequately in one blog, however, would be impossible. And being that this is a media that focuses mainly on Black hair and skin care, I will therefore narrow my focus on said matters.

This week I am here to let you know that Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil makes an excellent scalp tonic and conditioner. Its cleansing ability allows it to penetrate the scalp and help detoxify it of damaging toxins caused by chemical hair products, the environment, and parasites. A toxic scalp can manifest as dandruff, itchy, dry and flaky scalp, thinning hair, poor hair growth and much more.

Research shows that Castor oil contains phyto-nutrients that help to destroy many types of bacteria, fungi, virus and other parasites that cause scalp and skin problems such as dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, liver spot, and other types of skin issues. Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil is specially prepared to preserve these phyto-nutrients so that you can benefit from them.

By massaging Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil into the scalp on a regular basis, you will be removing damaging toxins from your scalp, cleansing action, blood circulation will improve, and more nutrients will reach the roots of your hair. This all means your scalp will return to its natural state of good health. And in turn your hair will become thicker, longer, stronger and more vibrant.

Tropic Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Scalp Massage

• Step 1: Slightly heat Tropic Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil for 10 sec or till warm to touch (Please do not Microwave)

• Step 2: Section your hair in for parts

• Step 3: Chose one section as your starting point… using a comb, further section your hair in mini-parts within the selected part to reveal your scalp and apply Tropic Isle JBCO directly as you go along.

• Step 4: Repeat step 3 for the three remaining parts.

• Step 5: Once your entire scalp is saturated with Tropic Isle JBCO gently massage your scalp with your finger tips and pay close attention to areas prone to breakage or signs of bald spots. Do not forget to apply the oil to your hair line (for most this is our weak spot). Do this for at least 1 to 2 minutes….your scalp will love you for it! Remember healthy scalp healthy hair.

• Step 6: (Optional) Place heating cap on head for 20 minutes to an hour for maximum effect.

• Step 7: (Optional) You may chose to wash your hair or simple style hair as desired.

It is recommended that you do at least one scalp massage per week.

Tropic Isle Living’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil is made the traditional way. Our seeds are delicately roasted to facilitate the extraction of the minerals and phytonutrient contents found in their outer covering. In a nutshell – no pun intended - this means a more nutrient rich Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil.

Jamaican Black Castor Oil Explained


Hi everyone,

My name is Lois Reid-Hines, vice president and co-owner of Tropic Isle Living, it is with great pride that I blog about Jamaican Black Castor Oil right here on Hairlicious Inc.

I am extremely proud of how far Jamaican Black Castor Oil has come. This journey began approximately 16 years ago when my company began importing this wonderful healing oil into the United States. I believe we were the first to sell it commercially in the USA. We initially only sold it to health food stores, mainly in the New York, New Jersey areas, as an “all-purpose” healing oil for a variety of conditions including: laxative, ache and pain, hair, skin, afterbirth waste and much more.

It was not until 7 years ago that beauty supply stores began to sell Jamaican Black Castor Oil as they realized that many Caribbean women were looking for it to use in their hair. A few years later, the benefit of Jamaican Black Castor Oil reached the social networking circles and thanks to sites like Hairlista Inc. and Hairlicious Inc., Jamaican Black Castor Oil is now becoming a household word in Black hair care circles.

For years Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil has been the only brand of black Castor oil in the marketplace, but with the popularity of the product, it’s only natural for other brands to enter the market. This sometimes can cause confusion amongst consumers. Is one brand better than the other? The answer to this question is really a matter of personal preference. The bottom line is - are you getting results? Tropic Isle Living’s brand is tried and proven. All you have to do is search on you tube and witness dozens of women testifying on how Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil has helped them with their various hair problems. We truly thank those who have supported us and continue to support our efforts in bringing quality health and beauty aid products traditionally used by our ancestors.

A Little Background on Jamaican Black Castor Oil

According to our own research, it would seem that the Castor oil plant and knowledge on how to make black Castor oil was brought to Jamaica by African slaves centuries ago. The slaves used black Castor oil for several purposes including: laxative, hair oil, skin lotion, induction of labor, expel after-waste, healing of cuts, burns, bruises and other skin conditions etc. Interestingly, the word Castor oil was coined in Jamaica. Many people do not know that. At one time the island was the leading supplier of Castor oil to Europe.

Is Jamaican Black Castor Oil Literally Black?

The truth is Jamaican Black Castor Oil is not literally black. The name more describe the traditional way it is made, whereby, the seeds are mostly wild-crafted, then roasted and then slow boil to release the ultra pure oil. Pending on how long the seeds are roasted the color can vary between light honey brown to medium dark honey. Jamaicans prefer the lighter color as it can be used for a wider variety of applications.

Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil - Love it or Hate it?

Lately, many have been inquiring as to whether or not I've tried the New Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil and how I like it. I'll be more than happy to answer those questions:




Have your tried the Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil?

- Yes, I have.

Do you like it?

- Yes!! It's a fabulous product :-)

How long have you been using it?

- For about 1-2 weeks now.

What do you like about it?

- The scent of course!! As soon as you open the bottle and take a sniff, you barely smell that over-barring burnt smokey scent. The lavender smell is very relaxing. I find that when I apply it, my hair smells very fresh and clean. The Lavender scent lingers for few hours. However, I've never had a problem with the original scent (I guess I just got used to it).

Would you replace the Original JBCO for the Lavender JBCO?

- To be honest, no. I think I will use both but alternate between the two. I've never had a problem with the original, so I don't see the need to replace it.

Overall, how would you rate the New Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil?

- I give it 2 thumbs up!! I also like how the label reads "No Salt". That's a bonus!

Hair Question: Castor Oil Vs. Jamaican Black Castor Oil

Question:

"Do you like the regular castor oil? Did you notice a difference between the regular castor oil and jamaican black castor oil on your scalp..which one is better?"

Advice:

I used the regular Home Health Castor Oil on my scalp for approximately a week before re-purchasing my beloved Jamaican Black Castor Oil (when I ran out). So, within that week, I did about 3 applications and I must say that I didn't like it much. Personally, I find that the regular Castor Oil is just too thick. It never really absorbed into my scalp the way JBCO does, so it left a weird coating on my strands. My roots were drier than normal, long story short...I just gave it the boot!

When I use JBCO, my roots/new growth stays soft, moist and shiny!! It acts like a humectant drawing in moisture. I definitely feel the difference between the two. JBCO is much thinner/lighter in consistency and it absorbs into the hair much better.

If I had to pick between the two, it would be Jamaican Black Castor Oil all the WAY! PLUS...It's raw and unrefined, meaning that it went through less processing, contains more nutrients (more potent), and it's not deodorized so it has a strong/rich color & scent.

Quick Hair Update

I relaxed today(6.18.09). Everything went well. Applied coconut oil the day before and the day of my relaxer. I used ORS Olive Oil Lye Normal Strength (as you all know), did a mid step protein treatment with Hollywood Beauty Carrot Oil Cholesterol (stylist's choice), Neutralized (3x's), trimmed, roller set, blow dried a bit and that's it!

I got a little trim since I haven't had one since November 2008. I don't notice a huge difference in growth this time around. I SLACKED OFF big time applying the Castor oil to my scalp. I'm kicking myself right now. In total, I missed about 2-3 wks of the challenge i.e. vacation, busy with business and just straight up forgetting :(

However, I do see and feel a difference where thickness is concerned. My hair feels like it has more weight (stronger & heavier - Thanks to the Protein Is My BFF) and the health has improved tremendously. I'm happy with my hair right now :)

I barely have photo's of this relaxer b/c I have NO CAMERA. I'm deeply saddened by this. I was lucky to take photo's of my braid out since I was at my girls house. I have more photo's on Hairlista. You can also check out the Right hand column "Recent Hair Photos" for more pics.

Oh - I picked up a bottle of my beloved Jamaican Black Castor Oil so I'm back in businesssss.

(sorry for the horrible photo's, these were taken with my phone and bad lighting)

Castor Oil Challenge Part 2: No More JBCO

QUICK UPDATE:

I recently ran out of my precious Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I'm very disappointed, however, I do have a back up! =] So, for the rest of the Castor Oil Challenge (ends July 22nd) I will be using the regular clear Castor Oil I got from the Vitamin Shoppe (Home Health Brand, check the pic). I'm quite certain I will see the same results.

Other than that, the challenge is going smoothly. My new growth is kicking right now because it's thick and very coily - I love touching it. I'm supposed to be relaxing tomorrow, but because I don't have a camera as yet, I will be extending my relaxer to 11-12 weeks post (God help me).

Castor Oil Challenge Part 2, is on it's WAY!
