Learn some of my favorite recipes for treating your hair and skin

I would love to consider myself the original "mixtress" when it comes to hair products (how ever delusional the thought may be). I love stretching the length of my products--especially conditioners--with extra ingredients from the earth. Here are a few of my favorites:

Loosen and soften hair texture
1 bottle of Pantene Relaxed and Natural Hair Mask
3 tbsp. of 100% coconut milk
3 tbsp of 100% pure honey
1/2 tsp. with coconut oil
1/2 tsp. of Jamaican black castor oil
1/2 tsp. of jojoba oil

If the coconut milk is solid, melt it to about room temperature. Add the honey and whip. Once slightly cool, add the oils. Mix everything into the the conditioner. Use with heat for 45 minutes.

The first time I put this one together I got great benefits. It was so hydrating and I found my curls were much looser, although the effects were temporary. My hair was so smooth to the touch and it was very easy to detangle. Enjoy.

Tropical Skin Brightening Masque

1/2 of a ripe papaya
1 tsp. of strawberry powder
1/2 tsp. of yogurt or yogurt powder
1 tbsp. of Multani Mitti powder

Mix all ingredients with hot water and blend in mixer. Apply to face until dry. Wash off with hot water.

Molasses Strengthening Masque

3 Tbsp. of Cholesterol conditioner
3 Tbsp. of Africa's Best Organics Hair Mayonnaise conditioner
1 tbsp of Blackstrap Molasses
2 tsp of Shea butter
1 tsp. of grapeseed or avocado oil

Melt the shea butter and oil together. Let cool for 10 minutes or until room temperature. Add Blackstrap Molasses to shea/oil mixture. Mix both conditioners together. Add the oil/shea/molasses mix to the conditioner. Apply to hair and use with heat for 30 minutes. Makes a great pre-poo and mild protein treatment.
