It has been 4 weeks since the castor oil challenge started and time has flown. If you read my post at the beginning of the challenge, you will know I opted to join the challenge at the extreme level. This consists of oiling my scalp every other night, adding 2 teaspoons of castor oil to my weekly deep conditioner and also use castor oil mixed with avocado oil to seal my ends each night.

So far I have been consistent with each step and before my relaxer touch up on 3rd October, I was oiling my scalp every night as it was helping to keep my new growth soft and manageable and I will go back to doing this when I am I reach 4-6 weeks post.

Considering  I  did a relaxer touch up 2 weeks into the challenge, it is hard to comment on if I can see any results as yet when it comes to my scalp and new growth. What I can say is I was sceptical how my hair was going to take to sealing with castor oil mixed with avocado oil and thought my ends would be greasy and weighed down but this is not the case. I always wear my hair up for work so my ends being greasy would not really be an issue but when I take my hair down at the end of the day, my ends and length of my hair remains soft and moist meaning that I don’t actually have to moisturise and seal every night but I do it anyway. I trimmed my ends two weeks ago so it will be interesting to see how sealing with castor oil makes a difference to how  my ends look at the end of the challenge which also coincides with my next relaxer touch-up, in the meantime I will dust lightly when necessary.
