Sweet Treatment for Damaged Hair
By Annie B. Bond
Here is a one-ingredient formula that may surprise you, but it has amazing nourishing and repairing properties for damaged hair.
If you spent too many hours this summer in a pool, in the sun, or getting tangles from harsh salty sea air–or if you have damage from bleaching or blow-drying–this sweet solution will help restore your hair to soft, shiny, bouncy glory.
The secret is blackstrap molasses. It may sound kind of sticky and gooey to use, but it smells sweet and it will give your damaged locks a nourishing treat.
Simply massage about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of blackstrap molasses (depending on the length of your hair) into your tresses, then cover with a shower cap and allow it to set as long as possible (for an hour or even more, if you can.)
Rinse with warm water.

Damaged hair are like an arid desert of roses. The rose plants minus the sweet smelling, beautiful roses is just like any other thorny shrub. It is the roses that make a rose plant actually worth its price. Just as the gardener tries every trick in the book to have his garden full of blossoming roses, in a similar fashion we all try to keep our hair bouncy, shiny and healthy. Dry damaged hair are just like the thorny stems that are unmanageable and easily broken. Thanks for this information.

Molases can be bought in most supermarkets and all health food shops. Has anyone tried this yet as I would like to know how difficult it is to rinse out of long hair?

Molasses is what is extracted from brown/cane sugar during the 'purifying' (whitening) process. It gives a deep flavor to many baked goods, as mentioned below. Not sure about where to get it outside of North America--some regions may not have it...

"GRANDMA'S Molasses" is the most common brand. It comes in a 12 oz. glass bottle with a green label. The price is just over three dollars. It is found in the grocery store next to the honey. Its' sticky characteristic makes it a good toxin-cleansing drink; or for a moist gingersnap cookie recipe. It would be no harder to rinse out of hair than a creme conditioner.

I have long hair,(below the shoulder), how hard is blackstrap molasses to rinse out? Does this work well on all hair types? If anyone tries this, please post comments, looking forward to learning more.
