The verdict is in!!! Molasses is now a staple for me....

[the_UnPrettiest_pretty]

I used it the last time I did a prepoo and it left my hair kinda hard. I realized it was because I didn't put enough conditioner on my hair to balance it out. Well, I tried it again today, using a little bit more conditioner and a little bit of Africa's Best Herbal Oil (trying to get rid of it).

I commented last time about after using molasses in my prepoo, I experienced a lot less shedding and breakage than I am accustomed to. I attributed this to using MTG daily, mainly because the molasses left my hair hard. Well, I tried it again today and lo and behold, I got the same results. A lot less shedding and breaking, and this time, my hair wasn't as hard as it was before. I used just a little bit more conditioner this time. There was no tub/sink full of hair, and my comb was virtually hair free, except for the occasional stray hair here and there. So, from this point on, molasses is now a staple of mine.

I remember doing a molasses treatment years ago. I might have to revist it again. Thanks for your review and I am glad you found something that works.

I've been meaning to try some molasses w/ my deep conditiner for a while. I've been using honey for the longest and I hear that molasses is just as good esp. for those w/ dark hair.

Yes, you ladies should definitely try it. I'm going to try to be consistent w/ it, using in as a prepoo at least once a week. At first I didn't like it, but I love it now!!

I've never tried molasses. Maybe because I imagine it will be a mess. It sounds like i'm missing out on some good stuff

No, if you've ever used honey in your prepoo, it's the same thing. You just have to know how to apply it. It wasn't messy for me at all!!

I agree. I use an all natural pre poo product that contains molasses, honey, banana, cornstarch, and one other thing. And it works pretty good

Wow i'm late on this one. Never knew molasses could do all this. Thanks for the info!

I used to do a prepoo with molasses, a pureed banana, wheat germ, etc. I have it posted in a thread in the fall of 2006. I have to find it to remember what all went into that. It was great...I try so many different things that sometimes it takes me a while to come back around, but I am working my back to that.

Curious about something here. That's the second time I heard something about cornstarch. What exactly are the benefits of it, especially benefits in terms of applying on hair? Thanks!!

This thread is right on time

I have just purchased some mollasses to try and was planning to use it in two weeks time as I am using Aubrey Organics GBP tomorrow and was not sure about combining the two.

Do you only use the molasses with a moisturising conditioner?

Thanks in advance?

I just mix it with a cheapie conditioner like Suave or V05 and some oil. Be sure that you use enough conditioner and oil though. That molasses can get very sticky and hard.

Side note: I did this yesterday and I still am seeing minimal breakage/shedding.
