JBCO: Didn't Do it's Magic

Needless to say I didn't end my year on the best note--well not from a recovering PJ standpoint anyway. Oh it isn't too serious, I just spent a mini fortune on a few hair products that I found at Honey Fig in an effort to prepare for my upcoming challenges (product reviews to follow). I was doing so good too, I don't know what happened...The ingredients just looked great (all natural) and the smell of these products smelled like absolute heaven. I just hope its worth the money, but I digress.

As my JBCO challenge comes to an end (two weeks to go) I have mixed feelings about what I have seen thus far:

Promises:
Said to detoxify the scalp providing the best environment for hair growth, also helps to thicken areas where there is hair loss or thinning and will generally thicken thin hair when used over a period of time.

Results:
JBCO helped somewhat with my itchy scalp, but this relief was only temporary. It appear to help with my new growth in terms of making it feel softer and more defined (which may be good if I were natural), so it wasn't all bad. I did not have the increased shedding that I have read about with some ladies, but I did notice some. I think it created some irritation on my scalp initially because I had some scabbing, which I can only blame on the JBCO since I never had this issue before. As a result, I had to add Jojoba oil to dilute it, which helped some. In the end I had to add some EVCO to alleviate my itchy scalp, which helped a great deal ( love me some EVCO!)

Overall, I was not as satisfied as I would have liked. I had so many expectations of this product and it only seem to meet a few---very few and that is why JBCO gets a Smiley from me.  True, perhaps this is not fair, I mean my expectations may be unfair because there may be other factors at play here. Perhaps you need to use it straight without any other oils for it to really give you the results I hear about. Unfortunately, my poor tender head couldn't take it. I guess I should have waited to write this review, but who am I kidding? How much more progress can I really achieve in two weeks? I will keep adding it to my DC and using it as a sealer. I may even continue to use it to oil my scalp, but I will need to add it to my beloved EVCO first.
                                 






Smiley - Smiley = not worth the money, don't waste your time.


Smiley - Smiley = neither hit or miss; just okay

Smiley - Smiley = good product; really worth trying.

Smiley = amazing product!
