DIY Mustard Seed Oil for Hair Growth

1/16/2018

2 Comments

 
Picture
Ladies, I ventured into making my own Mustard Seed Oil.  I've read that its really good for preventing premature grays and hair growth.  I can benefit from both:)  So here goes my simple recipe and a slideshow with pictures posted at the end of the blog.  I will use this hair oil for a month about three times a week.  I will update you on the results. Be sure to follow me by posting below your favorite hair oils!

Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons  of Coconut Oil
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons of Mustard seed powder
​

1. IMPORTANT: Keep your stovetop to low and you must monitor to keep the seed from burning.*
2. Once the coconut oil melts, add the olive oil and the mustard seed.
3. Stir while the oil simmers, usually about 10 minutes before the seed starts to brown
4. Remove from the stove immediately and let the Mustard seed oil cool down
5.  As the Oil cools, it will separate from the Mustard seed.
6.  Once the Mustard seed settles to the bottom, pour the  separated oil in your glass or plastic storage container
7.  You can use a strainer to try and get more oil from the mixture.

Tips:
I first would pour the cool down oil in a paper cup if you don't have a funnel. 
The paper cup will make it easier to place in an oil bottle if you choose to use one.
Watch this oil and do not leave it because the Mustard seed will burn if left too long even on the low setting.

I read that the Mustard Seed oil is perishable.  Please store in the refrigerator for approximately two weeks.  At the 2nd week, I will use any remaining Mustard Seed oil in my hair cream masque. 

​Please post to let me know what hair growth oil you plan on using.  I hope you will join me in the hair growth challenge.  I will keep you posted on my journey.

Stay Curly, Stay Virtuous!!!  Happy Hair Day!!!

sen the dosage, but I just choose to stop all together.
Bee Pollen:  I have taken the 800 mg of bee pollen pretty consistently.  I feel it works well with my body, and does give me a boost of energy.

What Is The Green House Effect?

5/31/2015

Join the 90 Day "More Prayer, More Hair" Lifestyle Challenge

Picture
Green House Effect:  It's as simple as sleeping with a plastic cap or shower cap at night.  When you awake in the morning, the hair should be damped but not soaking wet.  Prior to applying the plastic cap, you can spritz your hair with water or add oil lightly to the ends of your hair as needed.  

Benefits:
*Moisture retention increases with continual use
*Increase sebum production which is your natural hair oil     that strengthens your hair 
*Stronger hair roots can contribute to longer, healthier hair!


Some Hair Don't's with this method:
*Do not aim for soaking wet hair because your hair will be too moisturized and that can break off hair too.
*It's best to avoid oiling your scalp but if you do, only use natural hair oils, and limit the application to once or twice a week.
*If you sweat easily, one plastic cap or shower cap should be sufficient.  
*If you do not sweat easily, you can spritz your hair with water lightly and add an additional plastic cap if needed.

Welcome and Join Me on the Natural Hair Journey

5/27/2015

Welcome to my natural hair journey!   So I've wanted to track my hair health journey for a while and the time is now. I hope this blog helps me to stay motivated and on track. It's been an adventure to say the least, as I have struggled to figure out what to do with my fine, curly hair for over a decade.  People would tell me all the time.  Girl, you can just wet it and go!  But it never seemed that easy to me.  Do I have to wash my hair every day? (that wasn't my style)     Or Are there any products that work without making my hair look like an old school jerry curl? 

 So many questions for years......and back then, natural afro hair was not the in-style.  Not enough answers available, and I was lost on what to do with my curly fro. The beauticians were lost too. They would acknowledge I had pretty hair, but it was too soft and not thick enough to do anything with. It didn't fit in the box of the hair they were use to fixing (mainly permed back then). I even had a beautician refuse to style my hair because I didn't have a perm! DRAMA (LOL)!

 So for the most part, I would just Press my hair and go.  It would be in my late 30's that I started to learn a whole lot more about how to wear my  natural curls as my style of choice.   No more pressing your hair and worrying about sweating it out!  Knowledge truly is power.  I have yet to learn all there is to my hair, but I have come a looong way. I almost feel like I have my Masters degree in my hair of curls:)  I hope to share what I've learned and I hope it can encourage someone else!  Yes, we can rock our naturals and it is beautiful!!!  So let's be determined to do our very best in every area of our lives. After all, God calls a women's hair, her crowning glory! What are your 2015 Healthy Hair Goals?
