Herbal Mixes: Beautiful Hair - Dark

Contains: Nettle, horsetail/shavegrass, oatstraw, henna

Short Description:

The herbal properties of this treatment penetrate only the broken parts of the hair shafts, leaving damaged hair looking healthy and full. The clear silicon creates a brilliant shine and nettle nourishes your scalp. This treatment brings out lovely highlights but does not cover gray hair. The Dark and Red mixtures contain nettle, oatstraw, henna, and horsetail/shavegrass. Strawberry Blond contains henna, chamomile, nettle, oatstraw, and horsetail/shavegrass. Blonde contains chamomile, nettle, oatstraw, and horsetail/shavegrass.

Here is an herbal hair treatment to be applied directly to your dark hair.

The herbal properties penetrate only the broken part of the hair shafts, leaving damaged hair looking full, shiny, and healthy. The more damaged the hair, the more startling the results.

This treatment does not cover gray or change hair color. Instead, the high silicon content in the Horsetail fills in the damaged strands, taking with it the subtle colors found in other herbs. The Nettle nourishes your scalp, and leaves the hair looking and feeling full and rich. When light hits your hair, the clear silicon, with just a touch of natural earth colors causes a brilliant shine.

This hair treatment is messy. It almost looks and smells like cow slobber when it is on your hair. My girls call it Magic Slime because it is green and slimy. Oh, but it is worth it!

I’d suggest you do this when you know you will not be having company, because the odor lingers until shampooed. You might wait until your husband is not around either. He will enjoy the results much better if he doesn’t have to look at or smell the process.

A woman with medium length, medium thickness hair, will need to use 1/4 cup of the herb mix. Some with short, thin hair will only need 1 or 2 tablespoons. Because the short hair will need less of the mix, it will also need less liquid added to it. I will give you a basic recipe for 1/2 cup, which is what is needed for long, full hair. If you require more or less, you will need to adjust the amount of ingredients accordingly.

Recipe

  • 3/4 cup of lemon or vinegar (use lemon for lighter highlights, or vinegar for red/darker highlights)
  • 1/2 cup of Beautiful Hair Treatment - Dark
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

In a small pot, mix the lemon or vinegar with the Beautiful Hair - Dark herbal mix. Heat the mixture on the stove for about 5 minutes (don’t let it boil).

Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes, and mix in the 2 beaten eggs. For those of you with dry hair, add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil or mayonnaise. A bit of Lavender or Rosemary ground into powder can also be added to the treatment at this time to give it a faint, pleasant scent.

Apply the treatment to your hair, ensuring you cover the most damaged parts. Keep the mixture warm by placing a plastic bag over your hair, and wrapping a warm, damp towel around your head.

Leave it on for 45 minutes or so (the longer the better). As the towel cools, you’ll want to warm it up again to get the most out of the treatment.

Without shampooing, rinse your hair, and air dry. Use shampoo the following day. However, if you added the oil or mayonnaise, you may want to shampoo before bedtime to avoid getting the oil on your bedding.

With proper care, this treatment will last a few months.

Thanks so much!

Hello! I ordered the Beautiful Hair Dark and I must admit that I was a bit skeptical. I have wavy/frizzy hair and live in humid South Louisiana, so my hair has never been easily "tamed". This is a great product! My hair was so shiny and soft! I am growing my hair long so it has been difficult to keep these ends from lookin' rough, but the Beautiful Hair smoothed them out nicely... I will be a repeat customer on this one.

Dredlocks?
by Diane on Jul 28, 2009

I bought some of your Beautiful Hair treatment quite a while back but was hesitant to use it with the current recipe supplied because of the eggs. My hair is dredlocked, and I was fearful of the egg "cooking" in my hair with the rinse. If that were to happen, there would be no way to remove that from my locs! Catastrophe! Anyway, instead of eggs, I use virgin coconut oil with a bit of almond oil. I put the BHT in several tablespoons of almond oil, whip that up, then whip in my VCO, which is a great substitute for the eggs/protein! I hope this information is helpful to those with kinky/coily hair.

Perm damage reversed!!! - Beautiful Hair
by Amy on Mar 3, 2008

I am so pleased with your Beautiful Hair- Dark treatment! Recently, I decided to try getting a perm... The first time my hair was so healthy that the perm didn't take. After the second perm, my hair was dry, brittle, and I was getting a lot of split ends... Anyways, I had wanted to try Beautiful Hair for a long time, and decided to see what it could do for me. I am very happy with the results! Since using the treatment my hair isn't breaking as much, is softer, and the color from the herbs filled in the minor bleaching that resulted from the chemicals. I am planning on doing another Beautiful Hair treatment soon... Thanks a lot!

Beautiful Hair - Dark
by Tania from Quebec on Jun 9, 2008

I received my order on Friday so Saturday afternoon I tried the Beautiful Hair – Dark treatment. At first I had my doubts especially when I started slapping on the green goo... I left the treatment on for 1hr 30 mins, following the instructions to a T on the label... After rinsing out the treatment I let my hair dry naturally for the rest of the day... and before bed I washed them... My hair is so smooth and shiny and there are a lot more highlights now, this is a keeper. Thank you!

Beeeautiful Hair - Dark
by Andrea on Jan 6, 2008

This product is wonderful!!! I bought it for my mom... My mom grew up on a farm and she said it really does look like cow slobber! :-) However, it was not nearly as bad as I expected it to be. I thought it smelled pretty good--even my husband wasn't grossed out with it! Anyways, I am now a firm believer in Beautiful Hair--Dark. After my mom and I washed our hair the next morning--the results were amazing--full, soft, and shiny hair! It's the hair I've always dreamt of having! Thank you so much!!
