Why I Use It:
I use this remedy because it strengthens my hair strands, reduces breakage, and retains length. After using it for 2 months, my hair feels stronger, thicker, and I no longer dread combing it. The blend locks in moisture and stimulates the scalp without clogging pores.

Region/Culture:

This hair care technique originates from the Hausa and Fulani women of Northern Nigeria, who are known for their incredibly long, thick hair. Passed down through generations, it’s a cultural treasure!

Wow 😳
This another home made routine to add to my list.
But since I'm in southern Nigeria, finding some of this ingredients might be a problem for me or people around here.
I appreciate you for sharing this knowledge, at least I've know now and if possible to get the ingredients complete, I'll try it.

We have them here in the Northern Nigeria
mostly sold by this Fulani women them selfs

You could also get it around that area if you can look for it

Thank you for your heartfelt Comment on my post @basil20
