Blackstrap Molasses: an elixir for the hair!
“I’m 45. I was googling how to stop my hair from graying and bought your Blackstrap Molasses. I was apprehensive at first but then I was shocked at the results. Usually, I color my hair every couple of months, and almost immediately afterwards, all of the gray hair pops right back up. But in just a few of weeks of using your unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses, those tiny new gray hair didn't show back up.”
-Advaita Agarwal

Ageing, and the reversal!
Everyone fears ageing, at least most of us. Apart from skin, hair is the first one to ‘showcase’ that well, your age is catching up! Hair becomes gray after the cells in the hair that produce color pigment stop working. This is also the time when more people begin to consider blackstrap molasses gray hair as an effective way to regain a youthful look.
The molasses balances electrolytes, which can help relieve acne and other skin issues by encouraging new cell growth. Molasses also helps nourish hair strands and follicles. The anti-aging antioxidants selenium, manganese, and zinc in blackstrap molasses work from the inside out to soften hair, reduce hair loss and graying hair.
Suresh Magoo from Hyderabad shared with us a shampoo recipe that worked for him for reversing grey hair. This method isn’t for everyone as it can become a sticky mess, but because customer testimonials suggest it works, we are sharing it with you:
Molasses Hydrating & Anti-Graying Mask Recipe:
- In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, Dhampur Green Blackstrap Molasses, and apple cider vinegar.
- Add some cold pressed organic coconut oil.
- Massage into hair and scalp.
- Cover with a shower cap or wrap in a towel and leave on for 10-15 minutes.
- Shampoo as normal.
Blackstrap molasses, as Anoopa Pai from Jammu suggests, can also be used as a shampoo but the sticky thickness may be a turn off. One way is to dilute the molasses with water or mixing with hair-friendly ingredient like coconut milk and allow it to sit on the scalp for 15 min. Wash it off with warm water and those nutrients will have nourished and cleansed your scalp effectively. If that does not sound appealing, there are other solutions just as effective will less of a sticky mess.
How good an idea is to ‘EAT’ molasses?
Remember, the advice is to think about blackstrap molasses as a multivitamin. You can use molasses externally and also in your diet!
Suvidha from Ratnagiri shared her daily diet regimen with our Molasses. Suvidha, and many more like her, consume 1 or 2 tbsp of it everyday. She makes sure she gets the unsulphured variety; Dhampur Green molasses is pure and unsulphured.
Take a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses daily for a healthy head of hair. Another common cause of hair loss is anemia. One cause of anemia is low iron. If you have anemia, one of the benefits of blackstrap molasses for hair may be preventing hair loss caused by low iron. That’s because the dark syrup is a great source of iron!
If you don’t care for the taste, don’t slurp it straight. Mix it in water. Or add it to your morning smoothie or green drink. If you’re going to add it in a blended mix, add stevia to neutralize the bitter taste.
With its chock-full of minerals and nutrients, especially copper, which helps the body to produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color, Blackstrap Molasses helps nourish and strengthen the strands.
Customer Testimonials Speak it all
Here are a couple of anecdotal Blackstrap Molasses hair growth reviews:
“I’m 62 and about 15 years ago, when my husband passed away in an accident, I had a major hairfall issue because of stress. My hair stylist at the local parlour suggested I try molasses. I started taking one tablespoon a day until the bottle was empty. My hair grew back in and it almost seemed like a miracle! I still wasn’t stress-free, but the molasses STILL worked and my hair filled in pretty quickly. I still take it and my hair is back to its old glory and I look at least 20 years younger!”
Vibha Asthana from Jaipur
And here’s another one:
“I can clearly see that there is hair regrowth is because the frontal hairline and temples look better and I know it is not my imagination.”
Jaidev Gupta from Bengaluru
Just a few testimonials is not proof that blackstrap molasses hair benefits include support for hair growth. But more and more people interested in natural solutions are crediting blackstrap molasses for hair growth.
Although there’s been no Harvard studies we know of, to support its use, there are many testimonials and anecdotes on websites about blackstrap molasses being effective for hair health. And here’s why, from a scientific point of view, there might be some truth to these claims.
