If you like JBCO, you will absolutely LOVE "IRCO"! This blend features the Ayurvedic herbs Shikaikai, Amla, and Yasthimadhu (licorice), along with 18 other growth-promoting ingredients in a base of castor oil. The process of infusing these precious ingredients gives the oil its distinctive red color (thered color may vary from batch to batch and differ from the example shown on screen).
So what makes it so great? Let’s look at a few of the ingredients and their benefits:
Castor oil:
Rich in omega-6 essential fatty acids, which encourage healthy hair.
Used to combat split ends and breakage.
Extra thick and humectant; attracts moisture and coats the hair shaft and scalp to lock in moisture.
Amla:
Nourishes.
Discourages split ends.
Promotes smooth, clear scalp.
Shikaikai:

How do you use it?
Simply part your hair and using the bottle's applicator tip, put a few drops of oil onto your scalp (apply sparingly). Massage the oil into the scalp and then smooth through the length of your hair. Keep parting your hair about 1/2 to 1 inch apart and repeat the previous step until the entire scalp has been covered with oil. Finally, squeeze a small amount of oil into your hands and apply it to the ends of your hair. You may either proceed to style your hair or use a conditioning cap and let it sit for an hour before washing out. You may use this as a weekly hot oil treatment, with the Inversion Method, apply it before bed and wash out in the morning, or leave it in for up to a week.
This mix is very concentrated and made to be applied mainly to your scalp, so you'll only need to use a little bit at a time. People with extremely sensitive scalps may do better to buy our Regular strength India Red Castor oil (1/2 super concentrated IRCO, 1/2 pure olive oil). This listing is for one 4 oz. bottle.
Specs:
Appearance: Red color

Scent: Mostly characteristic of cayenne with a bit of allium (garlic/onion) and Castor oil.
*May slightly tint extremely light colored hair (such as very light blonde or white hair). Also be aware that this and all oils can stain clothing if it accidentally drips on clothing, so it's best to apply the oil before you get dressed, or while wearing clothes you don't care if oil gets on them.
