Naturally Kinky

I have just done a hot oil treatment using molasses, peppermint oil, a drop of palm kernel oil, and jamaican black castor oil. It is a modification of a previous hot oil treatment I did. I only had a dollop of palm kernal oil, so I basically substituted the castor oil. One complaint I have about jamaican black castor oil, is that at room temperature, it is pretty sticky, but heating it up, makes it much easier to handle. It still smells like an Andes Mint like the last hot oil treatment because of the molasses, and covers up the more "earthy" smell of the black castor oil, which is a mild complaint I have, it doesn't straight up stink, but it doesn't smell like roses either.

I wet my hair and applied the concoction. I put hair up in a plastic bag and let it sit in my hair for about an hour. I rinsed out the hot oil treatment in the shower and then to clarify I used vinegar and water to rinse and wash the hair. I co-washed and then rinsed out. Reapplied what was left of the vinegar and water mixture and used my tried and true Suave Naturals conditioner as leave in. Then I did my normal routine sans the spritz (I don't really spritz much anymore, and then I plopped my hair.

It worked out pretty well. My hair was it's usual soft self, it took a little longer than usual to dry, but we think that is because of te thickness of the castor oil. Great deep conditioning though.
