  • Prepare a simple mixture from 1tsp of mustard, Castor and coconut oil.
  • Start massaging the treatment into your scalp and use circular motions to help the skin absorb the healthy nutrients.
  • Keep on massaging the skin for 5-6 minutes and then rinse the hair pack off with water and shampoo.
  • Repeat the treatment at least 2 times a week until you see the dazzling result.
