I Really Love My- Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Look. We all have those items that we tell all of our friends and family about, that seem to have changed our lives or have made it better… Today, is one of those days where I have to share with you a brand that I have been using for over six months that has positively changed my life. Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil.
If it sounds familiar, if you made it to my #TCFTurns5 blog anniversary party, then you should have received a really cool bottle from this brand of this oil in your gift bag… You see, as I rock my weaves, keeping my scalp healthy and moisturized is key for me. After I had my hair taken down from my first use, my hairstylist was all in my behind…
“What are you using?”
“Your hair has grown!”
“Not as much shedding!”
“It’s not as tangled!”
These are all the sentiments she shared with me once she took down my install. I was feeling proud as 2 years and some change ago; I had to cut off all my hair. Thanks to an unfortunate event of a woman jacking up my hair, I went back to scratch. Ha! But since then, I had been religious in using my Jamaican Black Castor Oil…
I had heard about it in a few conversations. I googled them and then bought my first bottle on their site. I am all for great oils for the body and scalp, so my first purchase was out of curiosity. Now? Now I rock out with them in various mixes and flavors…

My Thoughts and Love of Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil
For me, it has promoted healthier and stronger hair growth. My scalp feels… GOOD. Not that it felt bad before, but since using this oil, my scalp feels in a better place. My hair has this natural sheen and feels a bit stronger…
All I know is that DeeDee has noticed a change and is impressed with my growth! WOOT! I mean there can always be other contributing factors to this, but one of the things I can FEEL is the difference from using these oils… especially as the weather changes, I need to make sure that my life stays moisturized.

I swear by this love it, keeps my hair long and strong. I use the pure oil like mixing with other oils to boost the nutrients and sometimes the smell can be quite potent so it dulls it down.
YESSS! I love this stuff and all of the various ones too! I even use on my skin!
I purchased this it says to use as a conditioner could someone tell me otherwise ways to use this n hair please.
Which item did you buy? I use the oil in my hair before i Go to bed at night…. and sometimes on dry patches on my skin 🙂
