Tropical Isle Living Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil 4oz - Natural Moisturizing Treatment for Itchy, Dry Scalp and Promote Hair Growth, Prevent Dundruffs with Jamaican Black Castor Oil

This growth oil really works. I have shaved my hair twice in the last year. The first time, I started using this on my bald head every day. My hair grew so fast that it had already grown at least six inches in a six month time frame. Almost exactly six months after the first buzz cut, I did it again. This time, I forgot about using the oil and my hair definitely didn't grow as fast. After 4 months, my hair was only about one and a half inches long. At that point, I decided to start using it again. This time, it was a little different because I've also been using an oil with caffeine. I started using just the caffeine oil and added the red pimento oil later. I can visibly see the increase in hair growth after starting with this oil again. It's only been around two weeks, but areas that were sparse and my scalp showed through have already filled in. I put one or two drops on my finger and then dab on my scalp. That's really all it takes.

To give a little background...I'm African-American and I have relaxed hair. I use the Phytospecific relaxer and I relax every 3 months. I only visit a salon for relaxer touchups and trims. During my most recent visit to the salon, my stylist suggested that I incorporate more moisturizing products into my regimen. My staple products are Phytospecific Intense Nutrition Shampoo, Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo, Phytospecific Intense Nutrition Mask (conditioner) or Phytospecific Vital Force Cream Bath (conditioner). My stylist suggested that I try the Aveda Dry Remedy products.My normal routine included washing with both the Phytospecific and the Aveda shampoo's mentioned above. Then I would apply one of the Phytospecific conditioners mentioned above and sit under the hair dryer for about 20 minutes. Rinse and style. I achieved excellent results with this process. However, I decided to incorporate a hot oil treatment and to try a more moisturizing conditioner.So here's my new routine...I purchased Pure Emu Oil, the Professional Salon Hair Steamer, and Tropic Isle Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil, and Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Treatment Mask (all from Amazon). I apply the Emu Oil and Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil to my hair and scalp and then I sit under the Hair Steamer for 15-20 minutes. I then wash with my Phytospecific and Aveda Shampoo. Then I apply the Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Treatment Masque and sit under the Hair Steamer for another 20 minutes. At this point, my hair feels really soft and full of moisturize. I then rinse with cool water and style.Results: The results are still excellent, however, I did notice a difference in the level of moisture in my hair. To style my hair, I blow-dried and applied a dime-size of Morrocan Oil and half of a dime-size of Emu Oil to my entire head (my hair reaches just below the top of my back) and I flat-ironed. My hair was shiny, soft and full of body...definitely salon-quality!Recommendation: Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Masque, a hot oil treatment (Emu Oil makes my hair feel really soft) and a hair steamer! I'm constantly receiving compliments on my hair! I want my hair to always look like I just stepped out of the salon; however, I can't afford to go to the salon every week, and with my hair regimen I don't have to! I wash my hair once a week and I achieve salon-quality results without the high prices.

UPDATE 9/12/13: Official recived both my items, the castor oil and the red pimento oil! and I already started yesterday with my challenge when i recieved the pimento oil first. follow my journey here. [...]Hey everyone I just ordered this item recently on a Saturday which was 9/7/13. And I'm going to start off with a 5 star rating just for the hype. I am going to do a hair growth challenge, and I will be using this castor oil and I will be using their pimento oil. I am natural and have very kinky/coily hair ranging from 3's to the 4's. I my hair is a decent length...but shrinkage is a betch, but sometimes I love it. I just want my hair to be at my shoulders but curly with shrinkage and all. My hair grows on average 1/2 inch a month or a little over depending on protective styles. I notice that my hair does well when I keep my hair in twist under a wig haha. So I will be wearing wigs, for my challenge. I'm also going to try to come up with a routine for me to do and follow. I have never been on a regiment for my hair. I really like simple. But I also wanted to incorporate oils into my new regiment. Never done it before, but I think that will change the health of my hair in a good way.Routine:Wash hair every weekhot oil treatment(olive oil)deep conditioning/protein treatment(egg mixed with deep conditioner)Split my hair into sectionsApply castor/pimento oil to scalp.Detangle each sectionTwist each sectionPut wig cap on and wigThen repeat every weekThroughout the week I will be applying the castor/pimento oil to my scalp where I have the plaited sections from my twist every night and sleep with a silk bonnet.Length Checks: Will be every month. Right now my hair ranges to 9'-9 1/2' all over my head, but I will do official checks to have a clear starting point.Goals: Want softer/stronger/healthier hair, and I want to maximize hair growth. I want to have grown/retained 6 inches in 6 months. And that would be perfect for Spring break.I will be making future YouTube videos, and when I do will give the links. But you can also find me on instagram: AshleyNicoleCollins to see pictures of me and my wigs(protective styles)If you have any questions also you can contact me there. And I may make a separate instagram just for this challenge, and when/if I do I will let you guys know.
