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.
