Hair growth stimulator #2 is a different take on a familiar cleanse. It’s awesome for all hair tea and tonic lovers.

Hair Growth Stimulator #2 | The Master Hair Cleanse

My first fast was a master cleanse in 2001. For 21 days I drank a gallon of the master cleanse, plain water and fruit juices.

At the time, I was afraid all vegetable juices would taste like a V8…and I didn’t like V8’s.

I prayed to God — that if She ever let me finish that fast, I would never do another one.

Well, I never did another master cleanse — at least not by drinking a gallon of it a day.

I created this recipe for hair, after a case of dandruff took up residence in my kids’ hair. They were learning to swim and it happened to be in the winter months, at an indoor facility. Hair cleansing and conditioning had to be simple, effective, and good.

Luckily no one caught the flu.

Whose idea was that anyway?

Silly pool. 

The girls love making honey water to rinse their hair immediately after getting out of the pool. So, I added additional honey, water, castor oil, and lemon juice (for scent). I had a lot of molasses for some reason, so I added some of that and opened the refrigerator to see if something else jumped out at me.

Nothing did.

Except the castor oil…which was actually in the pantry, but I digress.

It was Super Bowl Weekend 2014, my hair was done, and salsa making was underway. I had peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, and tomatoes all over the place.

I Googled those ingredients with hair growth and found quite a bit on cayenne pepper (and onions, garlic and tomatoes - now I’m hungry).

Many naturalistas swear by green, yellow, and red bell pepper (along with onion and garlic juice), as supercharging their hair growth.

Peppers are an All-Natural Hair, Nail & Skin Vitamin

I didn’t find any sources to support many of the things I’ve seen and heard about cayenne pepper…so I’m gonna leave this one to the experts…YOU!

Let me know in the comments…

Has cayenne pepper (powder, extract, oil, etc.) helped your hair grow?
