Jamaican black castor oil for thinning edges use a small brush to massage it in.

[@TheSunlight000]

What's the difference between regular castor oil and Jamaican black castor oil? Is the Jamaican one better?

[@myfabulouslifewithlupus]

@@TheSunlight000 Honestly I don't know what the difference is but I can tell you the Jamaican black castor oil DOES work. You can also use it on your eyebrows and eyelashes too. Hope this helps.

[@armanitomlinson6233]

If you put castor oil on the sides & massage it in ... it should work

[@rebekahboquiren9774]

Truth! I Use castor and argon oil on my eyebrows and lashes and it helps thicken and lengthen

[@jamierocke]

I was just about to type this but I use Jamaican castor oil in particular 👍🏾

[@MsMoshomosho]

It worked for me too

[@kathyjean-joseph1901]

castor oil mixed with fresh aloe actually but yeah

Do I need to add water first?

So are you not wearing makeup anymore? Your skin looks SOO GOOD lately and you just look lit from within. Congratulations 💕

Oh I’m still wearing makeup for sure! But I’ve been working a lot on my skin underneath!!

[@arielle452]

Cydnee Black you look naturally pretty girl, good job lol

[@miameow4833]

Think she looks better without heavy makeup and wearing her own hair and short at that. She also looks younger like this. Yup, just well groomed brows, maybe brown eyeliner. I never liked pageant girl looks. She also has a lovely head shape.

[@dennelyzarazua1571]

In my opinion, I believe that she looks stunning with or without makeup and after all makeup is a form off art

[@MsMikie777]

@@dennelyzarazua1571, you're Absolutely correct, I am SOOOOOOOOOO SICK AND TIRED OF THE MAKEUP TALK! Makeup doesn't make anyone Beautiful it enhances one's looks. You have to have A canvas to work with and I don't mean any disrespect about my next comment because I Absolutely LOVE these Ladies However, Oprah Winfrey, Gale King, and many other wear Makeup and they're not drop dead GENEROUS Women because they don't have A great canvas. I also saw Whoopi Goldberg with A full face of makeup but it did NOTHING for her in my opinion. Makeup is just fun and can be washed off so, I TOTALLY agree with you statement! Enjoy your day!

Yessss I'm such a texture person too 😭 I heard it's a thing when you're hypersensitive, for example you can't stand certain noises, you "feel" the energy from people, etc... Sensitivity can have so many forms, and texture is definitely one of them for me. Eating a peach ??? Me ??? No. F. Way.

OMG! I have been watching videos on how to style short hair with soft waves and I ran across your video. This is the best video on how to actually do a finger wave. I actually just want to do the wave around the perimeter of my head and this is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. I too have thin very fine edges and waving it helps camouflages the thinness until my grow back.

[@jartisteobscure3992]

Beautiful!...and I love the homage to Josephine Baker: both the hairstyle and posters. I always appreciated her ability to focus on being a bright happy light during darker times for POC, even if it meant taking serious steps such as moving away to another country. Sometimes you have to step way out of whatever box is already set there and create another reality focused on what you want to see. PS. Love the self development direction of your channel...outer beauty is fun but it really shimmers when your good within. 🙏💞🌻✌

[@CydBee]

Yes yes yes!!!!

4 days ago i cut all of my hair off & reality never hit me until yesterday that it’s gone. I’ve always been insecure about my hair so now that i feel completely naked without it i was wondering how you found your way? This video was so relatable, it even made me giggle. I feel like i made the right decision to cut it but sometimes my anxiety & thoughts get to me so here i am .. struggling .. on youtube .. 🤣😩

[@zerwayier7316]

Girl same, I shaved my head like 2 months ago. And I still forget I don't have hair 😂 but it was the best thing I ever did. It's growing in evenly, it's thicker and healthier. Gaaah, best thing you could ever do!

How do you apply it? I've been using it and hardly any improvements

I put it on my roots and along my hair strands once I’m done putting my products on. Only a lil on my strands tho since the oil is thick it could weigh the hair down.
