I can’t wait to give this recipe a try. My hair is very hormonal. And has been for some time. I’ve been natural for quite awhile. And it has no life or a life of It’s own. I wear wigs whenever I’m out and about. Maybe 2-3times a month if that. My hair is about shoulder length. And mostly gray. I don’t use heat. For the most part. It’s pretty strong with normal shedding. My main concern is, it just doesn’t look healthy. No luster or shine. I was thinking of doing another big chop. But I’m going to give this recipe a try. And hope this will help.
