Our Take

A lightweight styling lotion that moisturises and defines without the weight of a cream. Jamaican Black Castor Oil and Shea Butter nourish while the lotion texture gives a soft, flexible hold. Works well on 3c–4b hair as a standalone styler or under a gel for extra definition. Can also double as a leave-in on fine-to-medium coils. Part of the Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) line.

How to Use

Apply to damp hair after leave-in, distributing through mid-lengths and ends. Scrunch or rake through to distribute evenly, then diffuse or air dry. Use alone for light definition or layered under a gel for stronger hold.
