Advice I got from an Indian lady, not sure about it?

[net4721]

I was in my local Indian store buying more shikakai and amla powder and the Indian girl who was checking me out suggested that I use mustard oil and coconut oil mixed as kinda of a prepoo for 30 minutes to an hour. Then wash it out with a shampoo called BioAmla. She said the mustard and coconut oils would stop shedding, make my hair stronger, and longer. My question is have any of you heard this or tried it?

 

[HoneyDew]

I have never heard of that, but it does not sound farfetched at all.

Never heard of the mustard oil. My friend, Vineeta who is Indian, soaks her head in coconut oil every night and washes it out in the morning. She said that's and "indian thang".

Here's her hair and it's beautiful- she's the one in the blue/green shirt

 

[Country gal]

It would be worth a try.

I am wondering if the hair type would determine the benefit from this?

OP it sounds like a good pre-poo treatment. Check all the prepoo-ing with oil threads...

Country Gal - I did buy the oils and shampoo but have not tried it yet. Still trying to decide.

Blossssom - The young that helped has nice hair and was pretty. But thats not to say that all Indians are pretty.

I have heard that one before about the mustard oil. They use that quite a lot and a lot of the indian hair website have that in the hair advice sections. I have tried it before but not long enough to actually say whether or not it works....

I would like to try this

If the Indian girls's hair looked healthy and striving - I would give it a try!

At the very least - a pre-poo treatment is never going to damage your hair.

LOL! Girl, who you tellin? I'd have that mustard on my head so fast....

 

[VirtuousGal]

Hmm, I wonder if just mustard and coconut oil mixed would do the trick...

 

[Dayjoy]

There is a thread in the Hair Recipe board that mentions the mustard oil.

 

[net4721]

I think I will try it on my next wsh day and I'll get everyone posted. And if anyone wants to know she said to mix equal parts mustard and coconut oil. And thanks for the responses.

 

[tiffanyoneal]

I have never seen an Indian woman with a tow up head, but a lot of them here in Cali have tow up faces, so God gave them gorgeous hair to make up for it.

 

[Miss*Tress]

If you google "mustard oil" + ayurveda, you'll get lots of results for how and when to use mustard oil.

 

[Blossssom]

Well, he had to do something to make them appealing to men.

Out where I live there are tons of Indian/Pakistani people, and a lot of them are seriously hurting, men and women.

This one woman... never mind.

Yes, I've heard of the mustard oil thing many times. It's suppose to be really good for the hair. I came really close to ordering some the other day, but when I heard about the smell, I removed it from my cart I just can't be bothered with stinky products

 

[NessaNessa]

If I didnt hate the taste, smell, and look of mustard I would try this. Yeah, Yeah, I know this is mustard OIL but I am just picky like that.

 

[sunshinebeautiful]

Haven't tried it, but let us know how it works out.

Girl u crazy

 

[Bunny77]

DSylla, does your friend oil her hair with the coconut oil each night or does she literally soak her hair in a bowl of coconut oil?

 

[Mestiza]

I have some Mustard Oil that I haven't used, yet b/c of the smell.

 

[pisceschica]

Its worth a try. . .its not like you're trying some caustic chemical.

Mustard smells great compared to Mustard Oil to me.
