Black Strap Molasses Treatment

Start the week off with a black strap molasses treatment. Do this in the day time on dry hair. If your hair is really short you shouldn’t have to dilute the molasses, but if your hair is longer you may have to add water. It’s very messy. Use plastic gloves if you want. Cover with a plastic cap. Put on an old shirt because it’s messy.  Leave molasses in hair for 1-2 hours, and co-wash it really really really well. Style as usual. Co-wash 2 more times during the week.

Take dropper bottle and fill it up half way with jojoba oil, add 5 drops of peppermint essential oil, 5 drops of basil essential oil, and 1/2 dropper of liquid vitamin A, D and E.
