Plus, her hair feels soft and moisturized after every use.
My best friend is obsessed with growing out her hair—and then cutting it all off. She said she “has zero attachment to [her] hair” and that it “always grows back healthier and stronger” each time she cuts it. This has been an ongoing cycle for over 10 years, and I always wondered how she grew it back so quickly. I finally asked her what her secret is, and she said she’s used CB Smoothe’s Wild Jamaican Black Castor Oil for years.
The hair growth oil is formulated with a blend of oils and plant-based extracts, including vitamin E and rosemary, which improves blood circulation to the scalp, stimulates growth, reduces breakage, and eliminates dandruff and breakouts, thanks to its antibacterial properties. It also has peppermint oil to calm scalp inflammation, and melatonin, which improves hair thickness and prevents hair loss. It’s safe for daily use and comes with a funnel-like product dispenser to apply it with precision.

My friend chopped her hair down to a teeny tiny afro in March, and it nearly tripled in size after just a few months of applying CB Smoothe’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil to her scalp three times a week. She prefers to apply it in the evenings to avoid staining on her clothes, but she did mention that it “absorbs down quickly into the scalp.” It’s also “lightweight” and “smells amazing” without being overpowering like other oils she’s used. She applies it directly to the scalp and massages it in sections—no diluting needed. It immediately leaves her hair softer and moisturized, while soothing her scalp.
After a month of use, she noticed her hair had grown two inches—and another two—after just a couple of months. It’s now been five months since she cut her hair, and with consistent use of the growth oil, and now her hair is back to her chin. She describes it as feeling “thick, shiny, and stronger than ever.” It also works well as a spot treatment on thinning areas; she’s regrown her edges multiple times after styling too tightly.
