Black Strap Molasses

Many people have used blackstrap molasses as a topical hair treatment to smooth and improve the overall appearance and texture of the hair.I recommend massaging the molasses into your hair, covering with a shower cap or some plastic wrap and leaving in for about 1 hour. Then rinse out the molasses. This treatment should improve the condition of your hair.

Dried out hair? Try the Molasses Intensive Hair Conditioner. Here’s what you’ll need:
3 tablespoons cold-pressed sweet almond oil, 3 teaspoons blackstrap molasses aloe gel. Whip together oil, molasses. Add aloe, and stir to form a smooth paste. Dip hairbrush into mixture and apply to clean, dry hair. Cover your head with a plastic shower cap and warmed towel to trap moisture and body heat. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse with warm water, finishing with a brief tepid rinse. Allow hair to air dry for deeply-conditioned hair. "

Because my hair is very thick I usually use 3 tablespoon of black strap molassess, , 3-4 tablespoons of jojoba oil (subsitute, will try sweet almond oil next), and 1 tablespoon of aloe vera juice (have the juice didn't want to spend any more money). Mix it up, apply to hair, cover with plastic cap/bag, sit under hood dryer for 15 minutes, remove heat from head cover hair and plastic cap with an old shirt (to help keep the heat in) and leave in for as long as I feel like. I usually rinse throughly and then do an ACV rinse. This works like a charm -- makes my hair feels simultaneously stronger and softer. Have no problem combing through my hair. There is no after smell. Shiny hair when dry.

1/4 cup black strap molasses
