There is a recipe by GreenBeauty on Youtube. She pre-treats her hair with yellow onion juice, garlic and cayenne red pepper. Her hair has gone from pretty to glorious. She uses this sulfur, vasodilating mix to darken her hair and impact the gray hair!


This and her results video is why I decided to give her onion juice recipie a try.. just started 2 weeks ago. I add neem oil to it, since it stinks along with the stinky onion and garlic. I also add rosemary essential oil and lemongrass essential oil to help mask the smell.

I have done the treatment twice so far and plan to do it once a week for the next maybe 2months and then twice a month there after. Trying to maintain a healthy scalp.

The fact that Shea darkens the hair has been placed in our discoveries list!
I don’t think it’s the Shea itself that darkens the hair. I think it’s the extreme moisture locked in by the Shea that does. I present to you: Exhibit A

Warning!!

The following pictures are not for the faint of heart! Proceed at your own risk.

This was my hair at the very start of my hair journey back in March 2006 (the old heads on here will remember these :lol:):

My hair was relaxed back then and super unhealthy and DRY as you can see.

A year later:

Notice the color change. My hair was still relaxed. I did NOT dye my hair. All I did was get my hair healthy by discovering hair care and deep conditioning with moisturizing conditioners. Back then I used the Nexxus line exclusively.

I am obsessed with the Shea Nilotica I purchased from 3Cayg. It’s almost as though it is pre-whipped. The owner works directly with the women who produce the Shea as well and knowing that the Black women who created it are benefiting from my purchase is important to me. It’s like you can sense the good vibes, lol.

I also sneaked some Ojon oil into the cart because it’s so hard to find. I am going to whip it with Queen Shea!:bdance:

Did you try and check the price for shipping to France?

No, I didn't. I've still got about 7 pounds here. What I like to do is buy the Naisssance brand from Amazon when I can't get it on the ground. The quality of it is lovely. The price is okay. I'm not in need of more than 1kg of product at a time. It seems like the United Kingdom has the best prices for France. But, I can't buy anything over 1 kg.

I've been using this onion juice mix to prepoo (minus the cayenne pepper) for the last 5 weeks. I think it's working. I'm giving it another month or so to be more definitive. My crown is still recovering from hair loss. Although it has come a long way, it's still less dense then the rest of my hair. I could tell by looking at my parts. Well, now my parts are looking more dense. It has to be the onion juice. I stopped taking collagen in November because my cycle was up to 7 days.

Ok I definitely will! Thanks to you, I have skipped out on purchasing more of my hg dc in favor of your oatmilk recipe. Thank you so much for sharing :rosebud:

Wow, that's amazing Sis! So happy you like it!!!!! @beauti

I use the lotion I made in my son's hair and it is very nice. There's really not much difference in lotions and conditioners other than a bit more thickness in consistency.

I'd have to go back through my notes, but I know for sure I used:
Oatmilk
Shea butter
Honey
BTMS 50
Hydolyzed Oat protein
Water infused with Calendula petals
Olive oil

There was a 2nd oil, but I can't remember which one LOL If you would like, I'll search a bit when I get home and send you the recipe. We are staying at my sister's house for a few days due to our power getting knocked out but this crazy weather.

I have been doing it for about 2 months without the cayenne as well and i can tell the difference. My hair is thicker and it sheds less. I wanted to try it to stop the shedding and now its a part of my weekly regimen.

Tonight I will be getting my Shea on with some of my Shea blend I've had for a while over henna tea rinse drenched hair. I have not done this for a couple of nights so far.

I will say this though - my hair detangled super easily in the shower this morning despite feeling stiff before the water hit it. My hair did not have any major tangles or single strand knots. This is indeed a keeper :yep:.
