Some of us are eating the okra. It's very high in zinc which is excellent for our hair. Especially since this thread, I always keep frozen okra stocked.sassygirl125 said:I skipped this thread the first go 'round. I thought you all were eating the okra. /images/graemlins/barf.gif I may have to try this... /images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif
That's pretty interesting. How exactly did your grandmother do this? Did she wash your hair with okra and shampoo or a concoction with okra in it ( or just with okra)?sweetcashew said:When I was a kid, I'd spent the entire summer with my Grandma in the country and she use to wash my hair once a week with Okra. My hair was long before but the amount it grew during that summer was astronomical!

Thank you for your reply.sweetcashew said:She used a mixture of okra, okra leaves( which she crushed) and soap(I think it was a detol soap). Honestly that summer I had lice but my hair was so thick they couldn't breathe so they were crawling on the top of my hair for the whole world to see. My grandma used the okra as a treatment which killed the lice after the first treatment. But she continued to use it for the rest of the 2.5 months I was there.
I wish she was alive so I could ask her about it.

Hmm... After reading your experience and many of the others who applied or ate okra, I may be growing some in my garden this year. Maybe an Okra Challenge would be a good idea.
I feel your excitement Nice & Wavy and I'll be having some okra for dinner tonight!
