Rosemary Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Pomade
 |
| JBCO Rosemary Pomade |
Ingredients: (see bold section above)
Pros: This pomade is naturally much lighter than regular petrolatum grease and melts easily in your fingers. The consistency is smooth and not granular at all, as promised. I wasn't sure about the beeswax, but this product isn't waxy at all. Since it's basically castor oil plus rosemary oil, both of which are said to stimulate hair growth, I went ahead and applied it to my scalp while putting in two-strand twists.
It offers a very light hold (I can't stop saying "light"). When I washed my hair last night (Day 6), I didn't notice any excessive build-up. The scent is mildly fragrant, especially in comparison to the strong candy-like scent of Oyin Burnt Sugar. Keep in mind, I haven't tried any of Oyin's other pomade scents yet. The Sunny Isle Pomade also comes in Ylang Ylang and Lavender scents, both of which are... light.
Cons: I can't think of anything bad about this product. Price might be the only downside, but since you can use it for styling AND for scalp massages, I think $9.00 for 4 oz isn't too bad. That's more expensive than greases like Dax or Blue Magic, but it's also less than Oyin's Burnt Sugar Pomade ($12.00 for 4 oz, as of the date of this post).
The Verdict: Oh yeah, it's a keeper.

I use the yellow jar with Ylang Ylang and Love Love Love it. I use it on my scalp and it makes my natural hair behave. I needed something like a grease without the petroleum and mineral oil. It keeps my hair moisturized. All I need for the week after washing and applying it is the Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil mixed with water spritz. The "Cons" are they need to make a bigger size jar. Yes, its a keeper
Anonymous, thanks for your feedback! Incredibly, that little 4 oz container lasted me a long time. Glad you liked it, too!
