Yes I was an English Teacher in a previous life.
Have you tried Jamaican Black Castor Oil before?
If not, quick quick lets go to the market! :-)
I hear it works for all hair types, moisturising, thickening, strengthening and rapidly increasing hair growth. The "experts" also say it increases blood flow to the scalp, prevents hair breakages, dandruff, eczema and dry, itchy scalp. You can also use it for eyelash and eyebrow hair growth and as massage oil (not me, I dont want to look like captain sprock).

To get the most of the oil, try using it as a hot treatment because heat opens the hair shaft, allowing the oils to penetrate deeply and the hair to soak up all of the wonderful benefits of the oils.
Applying the Jamaican black castor oil regularly has been known to encourage hair growth and start new growth. However, as our sebaceous glands in the scalp also produce oil, a dirty scalp along with oil build up will clog up the pores and can actually cause skin and scalp problems (it is not recommended that you leave 100% pure Jamaican black castor oil on your scalp for an extended period of time as this can encourage rather than fight bacterial and fungal growth - eeeuuuyy). If you do plan to leave the oil on your scalp for an extended period of time, mix with lighter oil (like coconut or olive oil), massage into your scalp and adopt a good wash regime.
I must admit I've tried it on my hair and must admit its a bit sticky and its not the easiest to apply so I try and massage it into my scalp. However, my hair feels a bit softer and shinier. I'll use it for a few weeks and see if my hair has grown into a mane by then or not!

Jamaican Black Castor Oil Uses:
- A pre-shampoo treatment. As mentioned before, if using the pure 100% Jamaican black castor oil try mixing it with lighter oil like coconut or olive oil.
- A moisturising agent when added to your deep conditioner.
- A sealant. Sealing in moisture on the ends prevents the moisture leaving the hair easily after it has been applied. Moisturise the hair as usual. Rub a small amount of the oil into your hand and spread into your hair.
- Protecting your ends pre-relaxer. It helps prevent over processing as the oil coats the hair nicely. During the relaxer process it is washed off.
- Massage Jamaican black castor oil mixture into the scalp, edges or hair line regularly.
