Hair Growth Using Cayenne Pepper Mixture

Six months ago I decided I was going to see if using the cayenne pepper, aloe vera and vodka really would make my hair grow faster.  I know it does but I never measured the actual length or inches I thought my hair was growing.
I have always kept my hair the same length as my bra strap and whenever I get my hair trimmed that is the point I usually use when I trim my hair. I only trim my hair every 3 or 4 months because my hair is so healthy and I get very little dry brittle ends or split ends.
I faithfully use Cayenne pepper, aloe vera and vodka mixed together on my head a couple of times a week. I never really realized how much or how fast my hair was growing but I knew it was thicker around my scalp and I always had little baby hairs growing out.
My hair was 4 inches past my bra strap the other day when I got it trimmed.  I only trimmed two inches off which left my hair about a inch under my bra strap.  I had always usually trimmed it to just the top of my bra strap. I decided this time I was not going to trim it that short.
My hair had grown a tad bit over 4 inches in less than 4 months using only the vodka cayenne pepper olive oil mixture. I had been rotating the olive oil aloe vera cayenne pepper mixture with the vodka cayenne pepper aloe mixture.  In fact it was 3 months and 3 weeks since my last hair trim. I could not believe how much my hair was really growing.
My hair always just got longer and I just trimmed it. I new it was always growing fast but I really did not know how much or how fast it was actually growing.
Mixing Cayenne pepper with vodka and aloe vera juice definitely stimulates my scalp much more than using the olive oil cayenne pepper mixture.  Plus it is not as oily and greasy.
I usually take two cups vodka and add about 3 or 4 tablespoons of ground cayenne pepper together.  I shake it and then make sure it is in an air tight container and I put it in my refrigerator and let it marinate for about two weeks. I always have some cayenne pepper and vodka marinating in my refrigerator and some I keep in my bathroom ready to use.
Since I use this cayenne pepper vodka aloe vera mixture so often I always make a large quantity at one time.  I have left the mixture in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.  The longer the cayenne pepper and vodka marinate the stronger it is.  At least from my experience.
I have also tried mixing the cayenne pepper with the aloe vera and marinating those two together in the refrigerator but all I ended up with was a big separated blob of gunk that smelled horrid and I ended up tossing it out. I'm not sure what happened but the cayenne pepper blobbed together with something in the aloe vera and it was gross.
I have also tried adding the cayenne pepper to boiling water or boiling the cayenne pepper with water first before mixing it with the aloe vera and vodka but once again I had a big gross mess. Plus my whole house smelled like I had been cooking hot and spicy meals.  It took a week to get the cayenne pepper smell out of my house.
So my conclusion is only to let the vodka and cayenne pepper marinate in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.  The vodka turns orangish color.  I have drained the undissolved cayenne pepper out of the vodka but I have found just leaving it in is much easier and not such a hassle.
Just to be on the cautious side and as a warning.  If you touch the vodka cayenne pepper mixture it stays on your hands no matter how much you wash them for a while so no touching your eyes or mouth.
Once the vodka and cayenne pepper marinate together for a couple of weeks I add about a half cup of aloe vera juice.  I have added up to a cup of aloe vera before.  It just depends on how I am feeling at the time.  I really do not have a direct set rule for my mixture.
I do start my next batch of cayenne pepper and vodka marinating in the refrigerator once I take the other stuff that has been marinating for a couple of weeks out. It is a continuous cycle.
I have decided not to make the olive oil cayenne pepper mixture.  It is just way to messy for me and harder to get out of my hair, plus I do not think it had the same effect as the vodka cayenne pepper mixture.
I also have never had the vodka cayenne pepper aloe vera mixture drip into my eyes because it does not run down the sides of my face like the oily olive oil mixture does.



How I Discovered Cayenne Pepper As A Hair Root Stimulator

How I Discovered Cayenne Pepper Aloe Vera Vodka Olive Oil As A Hair Root Stimulator

I have been using vodka, olive oil, aloe vera and cayenne pepper on my hair the last couple of years for fullness and growth. And you know what? It really does work.
I sometimes mix just the vodka, aloe vera and cayenne pepper together or just the olive oil, aloe vera  and cayenne pepper together but once in a while I will add the aloe vera juice, cayenne pepper, vodka and olive oil all together.
This really does make your hair grow, at least it does mine. I always get compliments on how nice and healthy my hair looks.
I actually stumbled on to these cayenne pepper vodka olive oil formulas a couple of years ago when I thought I was going bald but I really wasn't. I have kind of experimented with my own ideas and recipes since then.
You see I have horses and one of my horses ended up getting cut really bad on her leg just below her flank area.  My horse ended up getting 65 stitches and one heck of a major blown up leg infection.
It took over a month of daily wound cleansing, and keeping her locked up so she would not pull out the stitches before her wound healed but she ended up pulling half of them out anyway. I knew my horse was going to have a scar and I figured it would be a pretty big one.
Once my horses wound started healing none of her hair was growing back where her wound had been shaved and stitched up. I went online looking for things that might work to make her hair grow back and I ended up finding information on Schreiner's Herbal Solution
which is a wound care solution for horses.
I started faithfully putting the Schreiner's Herbal Solution on her wound daily and the hair around her wound started to grow back. This stuff really worked but it is outrageously expensive and it is hard for me to justify spending between $20.00 and $45.00 for a little bottle of herbal liquid.
So basically this is how I first learned of Cayenne pepper and what it's capabilities were. I started looking up cayenne pepper online and found that other people have used it for human hair growth.  I looked up all the ingredients in Schreiner's Herbal Solution and realized there were no chemicals and it was all natural except for a very light alcohol base.
This is where the crazy part comes in.  I took the Schreiner's Herbal Solution
home that I was using on my horses wound and put it on my head. I do have to say I was a little paranoid all my hair would just fall out from trying something that was made for horses, not humans. One of my girlfriends who also has horses told me not to use it but I did not listen to her and used it anyway.
Please understand I am in no way telling anyone to use the Schreiner's Herbal Solution on their head. I am just simply stating that I did and it made my hair really grow. It did stimulate my roots and I had new little hairs sprouting everywhere that were not there before.
I used it for about two weeks on my head and the bottle was running out.  Due to using it on my horse and myself it did not last long. I decided not to buy more and figured out how to come up with my own concoction. So I went and bought ground up cayenne pepper, vodka, olive oil and aloe vera juice. The money I spent buying cayenne pepper, vodka, olive oil and aloe vera juice was not even near what I paid for the one bottle of Schreiner's Herbal Solution plus I could use all these ingredients for other things at home.
I have been using different Cayenne Pepper, Aloe vera, Vodka and Olive Oil mixtures on my head for almost three years now and my hair growth is fast, my roots are healthy, my hair is not falling out and I love the fact I always have new little baby hairs sprouting on my head.
I do find that the cayenne, vodka, aloe vera mixture works the best for me but it does give a hot tingle which I like but some might not be able to tolerate it. It also does not have the oily mess the olive oil mixture has.
The olive oil, cayenne pepper, aloe vera mixture works well also and is less irritating to my scalp and my hair is soft afterwards but the olive oil always seems to drip down my face when I use it so I have to keep a towel around my head. Believe me when I tell you this does not feel very good if this stuff gets in your eyes.  It burns and makes your eyes red and swollen for quite a while so I highly recommend not getting it in your eyes. I have only gotten the cayenne pepper in my eyes once and that was all it took for me to never do that again.
I absolutely love putting this solution on my head. It tingles and feels so good at the same time. This is How I discovered cayenne pepper aloe vera vodka olive oil as a hair root stimulator.

How I get Flawless Skin At 47

I am constantly getting compliments on my skin and how healthy it looks. I also work very hard at taking care of my skin to keep it nice so when I'm an old hag I'm not all wrinkled up with saggy ugly skin.
Some of my secrets to great skin are very simple. I never ever go to bed with my makeup on my face. In fact when I'm home I don't wear any makeup on my face at all. I will wear lipstick and eye shadow and mascara so I don't look like I just got out of bed but as far as my face is concerned when I'm at home I don't have any foundation or powder makeup on it at all on my face.uuuuuu
I am very particular about the care of my skin and maintaining a soft flawless appearance and it has taken me many years to come up with the right care to keep it flawless.
The pictures below are recently taken in May of 2014.  I have not done any touch up to the pictures in any way.  My skin is exactly how I took the picture. I am 47 years old in this picture and will be 48 in a month.
flawlessskinOne of the ways I keep my skin flawless is I exfoliate exfoliate exfoliate daily. It is very important to get all of the dead skin off of your face so the new skin underneath can shine through. I use rose oil, argon oil and squalling oil at night before bed and I also use micro dermabrasion crystals with coconut oil and I scrub my face every morning while I'm in the shower.
I just keep the micro dermabrasion crystals and the coconut oil in the shower so while the conditioner is sitting on my hair I am scrubbing away the old dead skin and letting the new skin my body was making while I slept shine through.
I do not use soap on my face. I take coconut oil and mix the micro dermabrasion crystals with the coconut oil and that is what I scrub my face with while I'm in the shower in the morning. I also only use coconut oil to remove my makeup.

I make my own vitamin c serum and I also make my own niacinamide serum which I put on my face daily. I use the vitamin c serum in the morning before moisturizing my face and I use the niacinamide serum before I put the oil on my face at night before bed.
This routine has worked for me and I have had better skin in my 40s than I have ever had in my whole life.
