5 Best Jamaican Black Castor Oil Uses For Hair

5 Jamaican Black Castor Oil Uses that will strengthen your hair and make them even more beautiful. Explanations, tips, and recipes inside!

What is Jamaican black castor oil?

Have you ever heard of castor oil? This oil obtained by pressing the castor seeds and can incredibly nourish your hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, skin, nails and even for your overall health!? Well then, the Jamaican black castor oil is almost the same! Its effects are relatively similar but some will find it incomparable effectiveness. This type of castor oil is particularly famous in the Caribbean. But what are some famous Jamaican black castor oil uses?

I found out about the JBCO when researching about regular castor oil. I soon discovered that this version of castor oil was greatly used in the old times to strengthen the body and avoid constipation. Bad memories for those who were using it internally as JBCO as well as regular castor oil are powerful laxatives. Please remember that I do not recommend at all to ingest castor oil, it is simply too dangerous!

Why is JBCO different than regular castor oil? It is simply due to a higher level of Jamaican castor oil ingredient: carbon particles created during the roasting of the seed just before extracting the oil (check my infographic for more details). According to the producers and fans, this carbon content could be responsible for the JBCO’s magic powers. Studies on Jamaican black castor oil uses are hard to find, however, you can find lots of anecdotes and information on forums or simply by asking around you for people from Jamaica or the Caribbean in general.

How to use Jamaican Black Castor Oil?

jamaican black castor oil pre shampoo1. Pre-shampoo treatment

Jamaican black castor oil can make a great difference if used as a preparation before shampoo especially if you suffer from dandruff or dry scalp. Its antifungal properties make it the perfect oil for the treatment of certain scalp diseases. It deeply moisturizes and helps to soothe the excessive dryness caused by chemical-filled shampoos. Two things are important here: use it regularly and choose a quality product!

Jamaican black castor oil (as well as its twin sister, the traditional castor oil) is a relatively viscous product. I suggest you use it mixed with a more flexible, lighter vegetable oil (olive oil, or check my special recipe with coconut oil).


Jamaican Black Castor Oil uses for hair tips2. Seal the hydration on your rebel hair tips

Sealing the hydration simply means trapping the moisture in thanks to the oil. When you decide to hydrate your hair, it is essential to keep this hydration by applying JBCO in order to keep the water from evaporating. This technique enables you to keep your hair soft and flexible and to avoid any breakage.

Once your hair tips are humidified with a water spray,  the JBCO can be applied at the tip of your hair. Once more, do not forget that JBCO is a thick oil! It’s important to apply it gently especially for those of you who have thin and fragile hair. Using this therapy will help you utilize the helpful Jamaican black castor oil benefits and uses.


3. A revitalizing mask

That’s how it all started for me and castor oil! My technique is very simple: I mix JBCO with coconut oil, apply it and leave it for the night. Here is a recipe coming straight from Jamaica, you will need the following items.

  1. 1 egg.
  2. 1 tablespoon of castor oil.
  3. 1 tablespoon of argan oil.
  4. 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  5. 4 tablespoon of your conditioner.

If your hair is really thick, you can, of course, adjust the proportions.

Time to get your hands dirty 🙂 Apply this mixture gently on your hair. Massage your scalp and your hair and slowly make your way to the tips. Once you are done, cover it with a hot towel. My recommendation is to try to keep it warm with a heating cap for 15-20 minutes. Let me tell you, this will literally change the way your hair looks! It is one of the best Jamaican black castor oil uses.


Girl4. Make a nice braid

As you now know, JBCO is really thick. I would advise you not to put too much of it and find yourself between a rock and a hard place 😉 (well, whatever happens, you can always wash it off). But let’s focus on the positive here, it is this same texture that will perfectly maintain your hair.

If you want to get a smooth braid, apply a small amount of oil, this will allow keeping your hair in place and without frizz for a longer time.


5. Oil rinsing

This method is known for its magical effect on frizzy hair or afro; it’s easy to do and can save you the nightmare of de-tangling. The Jamaican Black Castor Oil makes your hair soft and easy to brush! A real joy!

How to do? Shampoo your hair well, apply a mixture of olive oil /castor oil (50/50) from the root to the tip. Once your hair is well-soaked, rinse the oil with hot water. When finished, add conditioner and rinse again with warm water.
