Nourishing Deep Cleansing Hair-growth Shampoo Recipe Using African Black Soap

Try this Hair-growth and cleansing African Black Soap shampoo recipe!


Ingredients:


4 tbsp Chocolashea's African Black Soap (crumbled into pieces)
1 cup hot distilled water
2 tsp pure Organic honey
3 tsp grape-seed oil
A few drops of peppermint essential oil or rosemary (for scent) and added hair growth booster!


Why theses ingredients work for you!


African black soap - Black soap is a natural cleansing bar and source of vitamins A & E and iron. This helps to strengthen the skin and hair with out using harsh chemicals in mainstream shampoos.


Organic HoneyHoney contains vitamins, minerals, is antibacterial, acts as a humectant (attracts moisture), and has incredible healing properties. 


Grape-Seed Oil - Is light and odorless. It protects against moisture loss.  Grape-seed oil contains a high amount of linoleic acid, a type of omega-6 fatty acid. Research has demonstrated that when applied to the hair or skin, this fatty acid can help combat dryness by providing protection against moisture loss.


Peppermint Essential Oil - A surprising benefit of peppermint oil for hair is that it functions as astringent. It is basically oil, but it helps to reduce excessive oil production by your scalp. Even better, it brings a tingling sensation and works by balancing the scalp’s pH level. Therefore, if you have a problem with either oily or dry scalp, peppermint oil can help you to get rid of it.

It also Promotes Hair Growth. The oil does not only work on the surface of your scalp, but it can actually penetrate inside and stimulate hair follicle. It improves blood circulation, which finally increases oxygen supply. With tremendous supply of oxygen, hair follicles and roots should grow at their full potential. If you desperately want to have long and healthy hair, peppermint oil can be such good solution for you. Fights Dry Scalp and Dandruff. As mentioned earlier, peppermint oil handles either oily or dry scalp problem. In other words, it does not reduce or increase oil production, but it simply helps to restore it to normal condition. The most common problem that follows dry scalp is dandruff. As the oil heals the dry condition, dandruff is as well gradually eliminated. Itching sensation that also usually exists will no longer be a problem. Another good thing is that peppermint oil has a refreshing smell, so you do not need to use any fragrance. Avoid Hair Loss. As peppermint oil stimulates blood circulation to the follicles, it promotes healthy hair growth. The oxygen supply carried by blood will help to strengthen hair roots. Besides promoting hair growths, it also carries additional benefit by preventing hair loss. Blood does not only carry oxygen, but it delivers nutrients so your hair roots may absorb essential nourishment in order to stay healthy.
Instructions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bottle. Shake the bottle well and allow the mixture to cool and sit overnight in cool dark area.
2. Save the remainder in a closed bottle for future use (up to a few Order your African Black Soap Here
