I remember the cayenne pepper thread....it spread like wildfire over here and at BHM lol. I was using it for a while in '07 but I got lazy. I did use the mix in my original post, the only difference is I added 2 capsules of omega 3-6-9 flax, fish, and borage oil. I used it today after I co-washed and I like it. My hair doesn't smell like demon remains and I don't have oil running down my neck, and I got the growth itchies quick so I know it's working.
