Mustard Oil

[NowIAmNappy]

I just started using Mustard Oil about a month ago and I've researched it and it appears to be a great growth aid (contains sulfur), contains fatty acids and strengthens the hair. Now I've been using it as a pre poo because I'm not too fond of the smell, (its smells like very tart mustard) but is anyone else using it and what benefits have you seen in your hair?

I like the tingle, and it makes my hair very soft and shinny

How often do you use it, and do you leave it in your hair or do it as a prepoo?

I use it in my sulfur oil mix(I only add a little bit of sulfur powder).
It smells so nasty, but I am able to slightly mask the smell with essential oils.
I only started using it about 2 months ago and haven't noticed a huge change.

I had a bottle and really, really loved it. But once I ran out, I didn't replace it. *chronic pj-ism*

It smelled a little 'skrong' but overall, it's a very nice oil. May re-up in 2013

I use it as a pre-poo also~.

I used it as an oil rinse and I was very happy with it it detangled my hair so well

But there is a huge difference between the quality stuff and the not so good stuff. I bought 3 kinds and 2 of them were worthless. If the smell is so strong its unbearable, that's a good sign

Interesting! Does anyone know if it can be used by people with sulfur allergies? I have a sulfur allergy but I eat mustard all the time.

I used mine last night as and oil rinse and then used it to detangle my hair and was very pleased with the results

SMH at y'all giving me a reason to go back to the Indian store. I've been eyeing this but was never particularly compelled to give it a try. I may incorporate it into my DCs.

 

[nubiennze]

leiah Can you recommend a specific brand to buy (or avoid)?

I got mine from an Indian store, got the dabur brand. ...haven't had any issue with the brand. I use it on my skin and add some to most of my dc treatments.
