A Chinese Remedy for Balding Heads

This is a remedy for regrowing hair and keeping it black. I learned it from my late Chinese father-in-law.

Ingredients
5 oranges
coconut oil

Utensils
fire
lesung

Methods

(i) Prepare the orange charcoal-coconut oil mixture

Light a small fire and place the oranges on the fire. Let the oranges cook till they become charcoal. Take the orange charcoal and pound till fine. Add coconut oil to the pounded orange charcoal and mix thoroughly.

(ii) To apply the orange charcoal-coconut oil mixture

Wet the hair and apply the orange charcoal-coconut oil mixture. Rub in till the mixture covers the entire scalp. Wrap the head with a towel and leave it on overnight.

(iii) Rinsing

Next morning, remove the towel and wash the hair thoroughly. Remove all traces of the orange charcoal-coconut oil mixture.

Additional note #1:

Application of a hair cream, Brylcream, makes the hair black. Brylcream is made from coconut oil.

Additional note #2:

Urang aring is a plant found in Malaysia. It is used to make the hair black. (Refer to my post on Urang aring in this blog and photos by Dq Farm in Facebook).

Additional note #3:

Vitamin B shampoo helps with hair regrowth. It is used to help hair regrowth in children who lost their hair as a result of scalp infection, eg in tinea capititis.
