Lemon is a natural bleach. Mix equal parts lemon juice and honey and apply to lip. Problem is you have to do it every day because it isn't as strong as the chemical bleachers you can buy. Leave on for ten to fifteen minutes. The good thing is that eventually it will inhibit the facial hair growth. Mustache will be gone!

hey guys! i am new as well.
 
I was inspired to make my own concoction:
 
1 oz avocado oil
2 oz jojoba oil
1 tsp Vitamin E
15-20 drops of teatree oil
 
The ingredients were placed in an application bottle shaken, then warmed and applied as a hot oil treatment.
After that, I read this thread, and warmed some conditioner with this oil -p experienced some beading - applied to thehair. I let it sit under a shower cap for 2 hours. I then gave 1 shampoo rinse, and put some conditioner,  again covered my hair with a shower cap then rinsed. I allowed my hair to dry over night. I slept with a satin head tie on. this morning my hair is wonderfully soft and ready to be styled.
I'm the human charged with protecting my hair

Sugalpum -

I substitute shea butter for cocoa butter and use any cheap styling gel instead of it's a black thing. It comes out great as a hair softener that holds curls.

I'm a newbie and i've been looking for homemade shampoo and conditioner recipes. I'm a teen, so my hair is very very very important to me. I've been getting relaxers and I want to keep getting them, but i also want my hair to grow longer and stronger, maybe a bit below my shoulders. Do you have any suggestions on the fastest way to grow my hair. I want to use stuff that doesn't cost much(because my parents have to buy it) and stuff that is easy to find. Please help me!

My life is poetry in motion.

Very Simple and Effective!!!
Hair Sheen Rinse:
1 Teaspoon of Honey
4 Cups of Warm Water
Just mix the ingredients together and pour through clean hair.  Do not rinse this out and let it dry normally.  You will have a great smell and great shine.

Since your using all oils in your mix you will probably need to wash at the end of the week and do a deep conditioner for moisture.

Hi, I'm new here too. Nice to meet you guys! I made a concoction with Jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, 5 drops of tea tree oil, 5 drops of lavender, coconut oil, and olive oil. I put it in the mane and tail spray bottle and i use it in the mornings. I've been using it for a week now and my hair feels really nice. I was wandering how long I can keep this up before I should wash it out. Can anyone help?

I know this is an old blog, but I stumbled upon it a few days ago and thought the coconut milk recipe would help with my hair breakage.  I'm a newbie, so to speak.  Transitioning.  It's been three months since my last relaxer.  I am trying to prevent breakage as much as possible and postponing the chop for as long as I can.  I bought concentrated coconut cream because it was easier for me to do rather than grate a coconut (kinda like the other poster).  My question is, do you do apply this on wet hair or dry hair?  And, even though it is suggested this be left on for 24 hours, can you rince out before?  Like in 7 or twelve?  Hoping someone can get back to me on this.

some sheading as u well know is natural, but we usually know when we are really losing hair abnormally.
Alteration in nutrition can affect hair growth, there are other foods that may provide the same key nutrients that promote healthy hair growth as fish, or its equivilent.
May have to do some searching and researching on the WWW, and there may even be some topics here that address those issues.
 
By the By, how do you manage to not comb your hair for 2 week stretches? I wear cloth on my head quite a bit, with a barrier between my hair and the material to prevent dryness and braekage.......bu I still keep it clean, and neatly platted underneath.
Tell me what you do, maybe it will be something I can use too.

I was literally just thinking about this topic last nite.  "I need to go to a site where I can find home hair care remedies"
Neway, these all look interesting and I would love to start trying them, but I had a few questions I hope you all can answer for me. When I eat fish, which I ate a ton of when I lived in Korea, my hair grew liek a weed, now that I'm state side and dining on McDonalds and other fast foods, I feel like my hair growth is slowing. Is there anything I can mix and apply directly to my hair to stimulate growth, I also would love a recipe for something that would stop shedding, I don't really comb my hair too often, so when I do I kind of shed a lot at once, guess it just kind of builds up. Comb about once every two weeks.
Any tips or tricks would be really appreciated.
I also have started using that Dr. something miracle growing stuff (sorry i can't remember the name) anyone have any experience with that? is it worth the money?

Hi Simplired! I am new here.  I love the coconut milk recipe that Sashi recommended. *Hi Sashi*!.  Where did you get the coconut cream from?  Can you buy it from the supermarket or health food store?

Thanks Simplired.
I am happy that you gave the recipe a try.
It is very good for contolling hair fall of any kind. And you must repeat it after every 15 days for faster results and if your hair fall comes under control then you can reduce he frequency of applying it.

Hi sashie

I tried the coconut. WOW!  no breakage at all. It has been a month since I tried it and now I will reapply it again.

So I am sold on the coco nut milk
I simply bout the coconut cream, since I was to lazzy to grate a raw cocnut

The cream worked the same miracle.  I did leave it on my hair 24 hrs.
