Last year I read on darkchildlovethyhair how she tried to make the hair growth trigger using Cayenne pepper and some other ingredients. She complained deeply about the smell and that was how she tossed the hair growth elixir she made. After reading her blog I decided to embark on the journey of making my own. I thought if it smelt so bad, what can make the smell go away??? Lavender oil!

This hair trigger Oil is basically infusing all the ingredients inside an oil for two weeks. The point of the trigger is to increase blood flow in your scalp, and we all know blood circulation helps in hair growth. It’s not a long process if you’re a DIY (Do it Yourself) queen like me. If you’ve been following my channel you’ll know I like to try some of these DIY’s before telling people about them. Lets just say I use my hair as a test subject.

Here are the ingredients;

Cayenne Pepper

Onion

Garlic

Biotin

Lavender oil

Directions

Cut all the Ingredients into small slices and pour in an air tight container.

Fill the container with Coconut oil, you can use any oil of your choice

Cover and leave for two weeks in a dark cool place, under your bed is fine.

After two weeks, strain, and the hair growth trigger oil is ready.

The smell was actually bad at first, I added a few drops of lavender oil and it reduced, I decided to pre-poo with it. On touching my scalp, it was hot but just for a while, I guess that effect came from the cayenne pepper. The smell wasn’t so strong but it wasn’t so lovely either, the lavender oil seemed to have balanced the smell from really pungent to not so bad. I left the oil on my hair overnight and washed the next day.

Moral of the story… 

I will definitely do it again, I mean I’ve only done it once so I can’t say if it’s working or not. I will keep using it as a pre-poo treatment and also use it every other night to oil my scalp.
