Treatment Application: This treatment can be very messy, so make sure you have a towel nearby. I apply BSM (only) on washed hair. However, you can also pour the BSM into your favorite deep conditioner. If you decide to use your favorite deep conditioner, mix the contents into your conditioner very well. Apply the mixture to your hair in sections and then put a shower cap on and sit under a hair dryer for a minimum of 30 minutes or 1 hour without the hair dryer. This treatment should improve the condition of your hair and shedding. I have used this treatment several times over the years specifically when my hair was shedding out of control. The BSM treatment reduced my shedding drastically. I applied this treatment once per week for three consecutive weeks.
You can purchase Blackstrap Molasses at your local Health Food Store or Whole Food Store.

Molasses to Reverse Grey Hair:
Many natural remedies for grey hair mention the addition of black strap molasses to your diet to reverse the loss of pigment in the hair shaft so that when new hair grows it regains your natural color. Blackstrap molasses contains copper that facilitates the production of melanin that assists in hair pigmentation. The recommended dosage is to take 2 teaspoons daily with results appearing in 3 to 6 months.

Evidence suggests that an overall improvement in diet and health will be reflected in the appearance of the skin and hair. The rich vitamin and mineral content of blackstrap molasses can improve overall health by providing these nutrients and potentially help with the growth of your hair.
