Why Mix All 19 Together?🤷
On its own, each of these herbs/ingredients has a benefit when combined, so they are created as an all-in-one solution that targets these three problems at once:
1. Hair loss, thinning edges, and dandruff
2. Hormonal imbalance, stress, and slow metabolism
3. Low energy and toxin buildup
Now the next question is..
HOW ARE THESE HERBS USE??
1. As an Herbal Hair Oil: Infuse the dry herbs into either coconut oil, black castor oil, or olive oil and keep for about 14 to 21 days, that is about 2 to 3 weeks, then strain and apply from your scalp to your edges and to the tip of your hair.
Always do a patch test on your palm or the back of your ear before applying to your scalp to avoid irritation, allergy and scalp damage.
2. As a Herbal Tea/Drink: Take small amount of the powdered mix herbs, boil and take as tea. Take this often with honey.
Please oo.., never use a large quantity at once.
