Black Jamaican Castor Oil Conditioner

I finally got around to trying out the Black Jamaican Castor Oil Conditioner by Okay Pure Naturals. As with the other Coconut, Honey and Shea Conditioners, it is pleasantly scented.  The smell reminds me of a chewy, fruity Starburst taffy.  I purchased a 12 ounce bottle from TJ Maxx for $6.99.  Of the four Okay Pure Naturals I’ve tried so far, this one is my least favorite.

Now, for the review:

I will rate each category with one to five stars - with five being the best.

1. Availability (**)        I have only seen this conditioner at TJ Maxx.  I’ve checked CVS, Walgreens and Wal-Mart - to no avail.
2. Consistency (****)    The Black Jamaican Castor Oil Conditioner has a medium thickness.  However, it did not seem to spread as easily as the others.  It did not give me the smoothness that I had grown accustomed to with the other conditioners.  There was something about it that seemed to not be as moisturizing as the others.
3. Cost (****)    Compared to the others, the Black Jamaican Castor Oil Conditioner cost a dollar more at TJ Maxx - $6.99.  While this is, not at all, a bad price for 12 ounces, I would have been very disappointed if I had paid the online price of $10.00.
4. Scent (*****)    Amazing!  It smells like Starburst, and it makes your hair smell great. Initially, I thought this would be a problem.  Sometimes, candy-like scents are very nauseating for me.
5. Slip (**)    I was very disappointed in the amount of slip.  I expected the Black Jamaican Castor Oil Conditioner to provide equally as much slip as the Coconut, Honey, and Shea Conditioners. After all, it claims to have Black Jamaican Castor Oil as one of its ingredients.  

So, there you have it - my review of the Black Jamaican Castor Oil Conditioner.  If you would like to read my review of the Coconut, Honey, and Shea Conditioners, click here.

Okay Conditioners

Initially, I picked up the Coconut Conditioner and the Shea Conditioner at a TJ Maxx while shopping in a nearby city.   After using them just once, I knew that I would be purchasing more!  It was hard to believe that these $5.99 conditioners performed so well.  When I went to my local TJ Maxx to purchase more of them, I was disappointed because they did not have a single bottle.  So, I immediately went online to OkayPureNaturals.com.  I was pleased to see that the website offered so many products - including several other conditioners!  I ordered the Honey Conditioner, the Coconut Conditioner, Aloe Oil and Glycerin.  I received the order in less than a week.  When I received it, I noticed that the Aloe Oil was not included.  Instead, I was sent Olive Oil.  I immediately notified Okay Pure Naturals, and customer service promised to send the Aloe Oil.  The company even allowed me to keep the Olive Oil as a gift  (awesome customer service)!!!  Within days, I received the Aloe Oil that I initially ordered.  A few days ago, I went into my local TJ Maxx and noticed that there were several bottles of the conditioners.  And, of course, I stocked up on more conditioners - including the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Conditioner!

Now, for the final review:

I will rate each category with one to five stars - with five being the best.

1. Availability    **    I have only seen this conditioner at TJ Maxx.  However, ordering online was a breeze. (If you have seen these conditioners somewhere else, please let me know in the comments.)

2. Consistency *****  The conditioners have a medium thickness.  They are thick enough to be used as deep conditioners.  Yet, they flow freely enough to be used as a co-wash.  (I do not like thick co-washes.)

3. Cost        ****    If purchased at TJ Maxx, they are $5.99 per 12 ounces.  However, at OkayPureNaturals.com, they are priced at $9.00-$11.00 for a 12 ounce bottle - depending on the conditioner.  If the conditioners were priced at $5.99 on the website, I would have rated the cost at 5 stars.

4. Scent        *****    The scent is pleasant- somewhat fruity, tropical.  It is not overpowering.

5. Slip        *****    AMAZING!!!  I was actually able to finger detangle my hair.  My fingers gingerly glided through each conditioner coated strand.  To each’s own, I still use combs to detangle.

While NOT 100% natural, these conditioners are free of parabens and silicones.
