QIII. Does Jamaican black castor oil(Jbco) moisturize hair? How often should one use jamaican black castor oil on the scalp?

No, Jamaican black castor oil does not moisturize hair as it doesn’t contain water.
You can use it on your scalp about 1-4 times a week depending on:

  • how oily or dry your scalp is,
  • how fine your hair is. If you have fine hair, using it more frequently might weigh down your hair. You should only use it about once a week unless you`re washing your hair twice a week. If you have thick hair, you can use it more frequently.
  • your climate. If you live in a hot environment like me, you might want to use it only once or twice a week.
  • how often you wash or co-wash your hair.
