JBCO and Lash growth Update

Good morning ladies.

I have been using Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) for the past 3 weeks and I wanted to give you an update on my progress so far. Lets rewind for one moment and talk about why I started using it for lash growth.

I was born with very long eyelashes. When I was 13 I started wearing mascara and my eyes suddenly became my favorite part of my face. Fast forward a few years later and about 11 months ago I decided that I wanted my eyelashes even longer then they were (stupid move on my part) and I got individual lashes done at the nail salon with my friend. I loved it. I didnt have to wear strip lashes anymore, I had glamourous lashes that made my eyes pop even more and they were great...then they started to fall out unevenly. I ended up with part of my real lashes on one side of my eye and the fake lashes stuck to the other. I hated it and didnt have time to go back to the salon so I decided to take them off myself and I did so telling myself they would grow back if I accidently ripped them out. Well, it didnt exactly happen that way. I was devastated. It was at that point that I realized how foolish I was and how much of a good thing I had before the fake lash fiasco.

For about 2 months I wore strip lashes to hide my short tiny lashes then one day I got sick of it and took them off. I figured I had to face them once and for all and let them breath so they can finally begin to grow back without being clogged up with lash glue. Then one day browsing on blackhairmedia.com's message board I came across a thread by women who grew their lashes out long with JBCO. They all ordered it off sams online and had great success. I literally yearned for their results and tried to figure out a way to order this JBCO without breaking the bank in shipping fees to Canada. Unfortunatly, I wasnt able to get it off Sams site so I bought regular castor oil and applied it to my lashes. They grew thicker and stronger but not as long as I was hoping they would get which was back to their pre-ripped out length.

3 weeks ago I became unemployed and faced with uncertainty and a realization that I was fearful of the worst case scenario that had already happened I decided not to curl up and fall deeper into depression but look at this event as God saying, "wake up, your life is much more then this job which is stressing you out to the point where you doubt the gifts and abilities I have given you." I felt like He was rescuing me from the people and circumstances happening at the time and I was given a chance to live, breath and finally for the first time LIVE. That job had me living only for it and gettingnothing but stress, and abuse, that was manifesting itself into physical symptoms that just werent worth it in the end. So I got out of bed, showered but on my makeup and my best lacefront wig, jumped in my shiney new car that was sitting int he dirveway and my mother and I went grocery shopping. While we walked through the local mall to pick up some other things that I was putting off because that job wasnt paying me well and not only that I just was neglecting period because I was so stressed out. I wandered into a African Beauty Supply store to buy some Black Soap and Shea Butter. On a whom I asked the owner if he had JBCO and he didn. I was so happy. I came home, washed my face with the black soap and applied the castor oil to my lashes.

JBCO Lashes Update

The first thing I noticed was the lashes on my right eye were beginning to fan out and small hair bumps were forming on my left eye lid. Within about 14 days those buds sprouted hair and my right eye lashes began to get really long. My left eye lashes are darker, and thicker and fanned out. My right eye lashes are fanned out and longer then my left eye lashes. At that point I decided I wanted my right eye lashes to grow more in the areas that they were sparse; in other words where I had done the most damage extracting the fake lashes from my real ones. I took a q-tip, dipped it in the castor oil and rubbed it on my lashe line. Its working. I see a few tiny hair bumps on the lash line and I notice when I put on mascara my right eye looks as thick as my left eye lashes.

SO my verdict so far on this? Definetly try it! Both eyes are pretty long and getting to the length they were before I messed them up. I recently put on my rimmel mascara and maybelline mascara and stood back and went, "wow!". Ive been using both mascara's (2 mascara method) for about 2 months now and itgave ne a definiete thicker look but not the length I was looking for but it looked better then before. Now, instead of the mascara wearing my lashes my lashes are wearing the mascara and popping!

I didnt take any before pics because quite frankly my lashes were so paper thin that they really didnt show up on the camera. I tired, sorry. But please try this. I apply it twice a day morning and night and consistency is definetly the key.

Have a good night ladies and gents :)
