Re: My hair won\'t perm...please help
Philasweet - I hope the following copyrighted recipes, by Mahalialee, a LHCF member with 3B hair, help. I hope she is ok with it because she posted these on an earlier version of LHCF.
<font color="purple"> MAHALIALEE'S MUD PIES AND MUD PACKS: hair may darken

1/4 c. pure cane sugar (pure sugar cane-from Health Store) DO NOT SUBSTITUTE 1/4 c. black strap molasses
3 tbls. Lime juice
1/2 c. Organic Mayonnaise (health food store)Do not substitute:
warm in micro wave (DO NOT GET HOT, due to eggs in the mayonnaise)

Long Hair Care Forum 6/7/2002
These may be helpful to some of the ladies on this board. Part of a series of homemade recipes:
If you substitute any of the ingredients, DO NOT EXPECT SAME RESULTS:
For example: pure sugar cane (in a box) IS NOT exchangeable with 'demerara, brown sugar, or molasses, or honey etc. etc.' Regular cooking molasses IS NOT exchangeable with pure blackstrap molasses.

1 tbl. pure black strap molasses
hot water, stir: let cool. Add 1 tbl. Vitamin C Crystals.
Separate hair into parted sections and spray each section:
let sit for 1/2 hour.

I tried both of these recipes and was amazed at how wonderful my hair felt afterwards.
Mahalialee also posted 3 recipes (in a series) that she created for radical hair recovery. They're pretty involved and I couldn't find some of the natural ingredients (I live in Minnesota) but that may not be a problem for you. Please let me know if you'd like to see those too. She said Radical Hair Recovery recipes turned her natural 3B hair around without her having to get a haircut. Her hair, the last I recall, was at least 7.5 inches past her shoulders.
HTH and good luck!
