Friend's mother made me some hair oil

Last weekend, my friend's mother and I were having tea and talking when she complimented my hair and asked why I wear buns all the time. I told her I was trying to grow my hair out and buns help me leave it alone. I told her about my ayurveda powders and other stuff I was doing like cowashing and she smacked her lips and said "If you want your hair to grow I will give you something, but I have to make it." My friend's family is from Northern Sudan and his mother is Nubian and her hair is classic length, black, shiny and simply gorgeous! I told my friend what she said and he was like "Oh yea, it's an oil she and all of the women in my family use. It'll definitely make your hair grow but WHEW-the smell is just...I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it!" I'm thinking uh-oh :look:. She wouldn't tell me what she put in the oil, said it was a Nubian thing and winked at me. I just got a text from him saying his mom said I can come out and pick it up this week. I'm beyond curious but worried at the same time about the smell. I'll keep you ladies posted... hopefully I'll be able to smell it and guess what's in it, or he can find out for me!
 
Yeah, i don't know about that one. I would be a bit worried about what's in it. How does her hair look? My aunt is like that, always mixing things. Sometimes she mixes different oils with a dollar brand grease, etc. Sometimes she would cook it, lol. I won't doubt it if it's something probably mix with sulfur. Just try to figure what's in it first. Good luck.
 
My nose will be right on it when I get it in my hot little hand. My friend's mom, aunt, and sisters all have beautiful hair. I was thinking sulfur was probably in the mix too...I'm going to see if one of his sisters knows. I can't be funky by the head, I don't care how well it works...I don't know why I instantly thought MTG when he said it smelled bad.
 
My mom used to put Glover's Mange in her hair years ago....it stunk to HIGH HEAVEN..maybe that's what the "secret" is...........
 
Well since she won't tell you what's in it, I'd do a patch test on the inside of my arm first. If that worked out, then a patch test on my head.

Either way, I hope it works out for ya!
 
The stinky stuff works, though. Maybe you can use it at night and co wash it out in the morning. If all the family has gorgeous hair, it works.
 
^^ I just have a feeling it's something along those lines... it's not like living in the middle of farm land you'll be able to unearth some rare indigenous root planted by Moses after they crossed the Red Sea. Being a lil extra with it, but you know what I mean!

Souds interesting for sure, it's nice of her to share her secrets with you like that. But i guess we will see when you report back to us.

Thank you ;) I just thought it was sweet of her to want to share although I will err on the side of caution until I find out what's in it. I just like seeing and learning new things.

LOL, this is one of the testimonies from the Nubian hairs oil sites I visited:

God Bless Nubian Silk
I have been using Nubian Silk and my hair has never looked so good and felt so right !!! I love this Oil and Sheen, I use both of them every single day. I have seen my hair grow more than 5 inches within two months, not to mention my hair texture has never been better. I found my product, and would highly recommend it to anyone!Tameka Wilson Oakland, California 10/06
