Tropical Isle Living Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil 4oz - Natural Moisturizing Treatment for Itchy, Dry Scalp and Promote Hair Growth, Prevent Dundruffs with Jamaican Black Castor Oil

I love the smell of this! and the way my scalp tingles in a refreshing cool (not burning) way. Since applying it to my hair each evening, I have noticed a significant reduction in hair loss when I shower and brush and there seems to be more baby hairs growing around my hair line. I have been rubbing it into my eyebrows and eyelashes and should have taken before and after photos as I am certain my eyebrows are filling in! I have also been taking much more care of my hair of late such as using a cooler temperature to wash the hair, not rubbing it roughly with a towel to dry ( I dab it and then leave it in a towel for some time) and when I use a comb, I comb very gently and slowly from the ends up. It is like I have found a new love and respect for my hair and wish to take care of it as much as possible. I was often in a rush to get ready and would tear a brush through it (oh the shame!) to get the tangles out. Never again. I have just made an order of raw B vitamins and Biotin on Amazon, so hope that will help with further new growth and long term strength. All in all this is a lovely oil to use that is easy to shampoo out in the morning and gives a nice condition to the hair due to the natural oil. I love that all the ingredients are natural and there are no artificial perfumes. I enjoy using it so much that I am now oiling my hair every night! I don't use a ton, but enough to get the scalp covered and to run the remainder through the ends. Hope you will enjoy using it as much as I am.

To give a little background...I'm African-American and I have relaxed hair. I use the Phytospecific relaxer and I relax every 3 months. I only visit a salon for relaxer touchups and trims. During my most recent visit to the salon, my stylist suggested that I incorporate more moisturizing products into my regimen. My staple products are Phytospecific Intense Nutrition Shampoo, Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo, Phytospecific Intense Nutrition Mask (conditioner) or Phytospecific Vital Force Cream Bath (conditioner). My stylist suggested that I try the Aveda Dry Remedy products. My normal routine included washing with both the Phytospecific and the Aveda shampoo's mentioned above. Then I would apply one of the Phytospecific conditioners mentioned above and sit under the hair dryer for about 20 minutes. Rinse and style. I achieved excellent results with this process. However, I decided to incorporate a hot oil treatment and to try a more moisturizing conditioner. So here's my new routine...I purchased Pure Emu Oil, the Professional Salon Hair Steamer, and Tropic Isle Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil, and Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Treatment Mask (all from Amazon). I apply the Emu Oil and Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil to my hair and scalp and then I sit under the Hair Steamer for 15-20 minutes. I then wash with my Phytospecific and Aveda Shampoo. Then I apply the Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Treatment Masque and sit under the Hair Steamer for another 20 minutes. At this point, my hair feels really soft and full of moisturize. I then rinse with cool water and style. Results: The results are still excellent, however, I did notice a difference in the level of moisture in my hair. To style my hair, I blow-dried and applied a dime-size of Morrocan Oil and half of a dime-size of Emu Oil to my entire head (my hair reaches just below the top of my back) and I flat-ironed. My hair was shiny, soft and full of body...definitely salon-quality! Recommendation: Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Masque, a hot oil treatment (Emu Oil makes my hair feel really soft) and a hair steamer! I'm constantly receiving compliments on my hair! I want my hair to always look like I just stepped out of the salon; however, I can't afford to go to the salon every week, and with my hair regimen I don't have to! I wash my hair once a week and I achieve salon-quality results without the high prices.

I oiled my scalp with this stuff and it immediately soothed the itchiness and dryness. I have very thick curly hair and suffer from oily scalp + dry hair, whereas my scalp is always overproducing oils in order to condition my hair, which just makes my scalp itchy and smelly and gross sometimes almost immediately after I wash. This stuff solved everything!! By oiling the scalp about once a week or as needed, I was able to adjust the equilibrium and prevent the scalp from producing it's own nasty smelly stuff, which essentially keeps the scalp clean longer. On application, this stuff feels a little "minty fresh" though it certainly has a different (musky, almost woody) smell. My ideal hair oiling routine now includes a few drops of castor oil massaged into the scalp where I feel I want more hair, then saturating the scalp with this red pimento oil, especially where the scalp feels unhealthy, and finishing off with hair oil (argan or plain old coconut oil) and leaving this on for as long as feasible (like an hour to overnight). Then wash and style. The presence of oil will be somewhat apparent, but the hair and scalp will be so much happier. I did not expect my hair to be healthier so quickly, I've only oiled it maybe 3-4 times in the past 2 months, but the effects are apparent (I've also switched to sulfate-free hair care products). My scalp doesn't smell, and my curls keep their curly shape *even after I brush them out* which is amazing (it means they're not really dry anymore, yay! ^_^)

Well, I just picked up this product, so this is an initial review, but I can definitely feel the oil perking up my scalp when I apply it, and that's a good thing. It seems to awaken the hair follicles. Strong tingling feeling, plus, you only need to leave it in for 20-60 minutes. A perfect product to use at night. The only thing is, I forgot to get a heating cap, but I'll buy a hair dryer and use a winter beanie and it should work just the same. Now, if you have thinning hair, this product should restore fullness. If you're a chromedome (sorry fellas I know it's an old bald joke), it probably won't work for you. Hair that is long gone likely won't come back, but if you're just starting to lose your hair, get this product. Also, you should get a DHT blocker!!! (I use a natural remedy, Saw Palmetto, which is extremely effective), in combination with this. The more ways you take care of your hair, the better off it will be. It will want to stay on your head. Take a DHT blocker daily, make sure to get plenty of food, B vitamins, omega 3's and 6's, plenty of sleep on a consistent basis, and buy some shampoos and conditioners that have some tea tree oil as well as other remedies that are good for the hair, and let your hair air dry after a shower. Tackle hair thinning on all fronts, and you'll see results. Most people use a hair regrowth formula and ignore the other important things. My hair is already much thicker than it was about two weeks ago using these tactics, and before when I had about twenty hairs fall out in the shower on my hands, I see maybe 1-3 fall out at the max after a shower, and new hair comes in every day. But all in all, this product is good for your hair, and if you don't want to lose your hair, you should treat it like a king with a crown, because kings wear crowns on top of their heads. Lame joke, I know, but you'll see results when you try this. I'm definitely going to buy more in the future.

I have to say, this product is amazing. I’ve purchased three bottles over time so far and had spotty usage, because I’m inconsistent and lazy about my personal care routine. But seriously wow, because of my irregular usage it’s SO obvious how well this stuff works. I heard about this oil from a YouTube beauty guru forever ago who I don’t even remember the name of, but I was trying to revitalize my dry, easily breakable, frizzy curly hair. She recommended it as an overnight scalp treatment, so that’s how I tried it. The thing is I can’t say anything necessarily about the strength of my hair, I think because I don’t use it regularly enough, but it solved a different problem for me almost instantly that had been bothering me for years. Dandruff! And shedding! I have had flaky, itchy scalp for SO LONG and I’ve tried a bunch of different dandruff shampoos and the tar based ones that smell like asphalt…none of them worked. But this product literally makes my dandruff completely vanish after two treatments. AND I lose significantly less hair in the shower. I did some research on dandruff a while back and figured out why I believe that is, I never knew that dandruff and flaky scalp are two different things, and that actual dandruff is caused by an overgrowth of some type of fungus that lives on the scalp. While flaky scalp is generally caused by dry skin. This being the case, it makes perfect sense that an oil treatment would work wonders over a dandruff shampoo designed to kill a fungus I apparently don’t have an overgrowth of at all. I also shed hair EXCESSIVELY and notice a very significant lessening whenever I use this product, even after a single treatment, I’ll lose much less hair than I’m used to in my next shower. I’m attempting to get an actual schedule together for this product so I can be more consistent about using it…twice a week overnight treatments I think will be plenty. I haven’t tried this as an actual hair treatment but from other reviews my hair type would probably benefit from it.

I can't say this product did anything for me at all. I know a lot of people swear by it, so it's worth trying, especially since it's such a cheap price, but it didn't slow down hair loss, help my hair to grow in, or make my hair grow longer. It doesn't stimulate your scalp, or increase circulation, and the ingredients don't block DHT or 5-alpha reductase, responsible for hair loss. I'm a white 36 year old with hair loss due to a hormonal imbalance. I tried this product out of desperation, but it didn't work for me. At first the scent was so overpowering that it gagged me. I would advise using only a little for the first few nights, until you get used to the smell. It's not an unpleasant smell by any means, it's just very, very strong. After a few days, it didn't bother me at all. One of the downsides for me was the consistency of the product. It has chunks of -something- in it, and that put me off a bit. The bottle says that allspice is the only herbs native to Jamaica. It made me wonder if there is a lot of hype surrounding it to bring revenue to a country with limited resources? But that is just speculation. I'd say, if you are desperate like I was to stop your hair from falling out- give it a try! It's cheap, and a lot of people swear by it. But if you're reading this, please check out my other reviews to learn about things that have worked miracles for me. In particular, the high frequency generator I bought for $20 has produced an absolute miracle in only a few times of using it. My hair starting falling out 1/10th of what it was before. I hope some of my other reviews can guide you to things that have worked wonders for me. If you are woman losing her hair, ANY little thing that can bring hope is a blessing. Something that can produce results is a miracle. Pass on the blessing when you find yours!

I first learned about the Tropic Isle JBC products when i say my co-worker using them and deciced that i would try them after hearing that they worked for her and she like the way the JBC hair food made her hair feel and look. After going through all the products i decided to try the Tropic Isle Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth oil especially with the reviews that it got. I'm a natural and i'm not sure what my hair type is as i'm mixed with black and indian. i have used the product 3 times since i have received it and i have to say i like the way it feels on my scalp. i also like the fact that it absorbs well into my hair and scalp and it's not oily or greasy like most hair oil products. The smell is a bit strong as you do smell the red pimento but i don't have a problem with that as it reminds me of mint and spice mixed together. As to how it makes my hair feel i'm not sure as yet as i currently have in braids. i plan to take my braids out soon and continue using the product as both a hot oil treatment and on my scalp every 2-3 days. When i start to do this i will take note of how my hair looks and feel and also the health of my scalp and i will come back and update my current review after a month of using the product this way. hope this current review helps.. :-)

This product really does grow hair, at least that was my experience, your results might vary. I went from looking like Dr. Phil to now having a restored part line, however the top of the head continues to remain bald. It takes some getting used to, parting your hair again, after going for such a long time with no hair in the part line area. It slowly grew back higher on the sides, and some of it can now be combed over. The top of the head showed some peach fuzz when observed at an angle with light shining through it. I was not very optimistic about seeing peach fuzz because lots of bald men have some of that, however some of that hair actually started to grow out and reached a length of about 1/4 inch and has seemed to stop growing, or maybe it is just growing slower than the rest of the hair. There are some stray straggles of hair on the top of my head. At first it was located every inch or inch and a half. Some of them formed an itchy pimple, and when the pimple was scratched, a brand new hair was revealed underneath. This new hair is thin and blond, and see through, yet continues to get subtly more thickness and improvement in length over time, however at an incredibly slow rate. I might try some Hair Fibers next, because now there is some hair to support it. I might also try to color it because that would make it more visible and thicker.

Love this stuff

Great oil for thinning hair !

I’ve been using it regularly for about a year. Has it helped my hair grow faster? I’m not really sure. If it has, it’s been too gradual to tell. The reason I love this product is that I have atopic dermatitis resulting in chronic eczema on my scalp. When I use this 1-2 times a week it keeps my scalp healthy and clears up rashes. (Added bonus it also keeps my hair looking shiny and healthy). It’s really great for anyone, but a must if you have eczema or dandruff.

I used this product since 4 months, feel less hair fall, Repurchase it again.

It's working, though I am using my first bottle only but the difference is visible
