A MOM had a tough time getting rid of an annoyance named Steve, but it wasn’t a man – it was what she named her bald spot, and a DIY solution finally did the trick.
She mixed four ingredients in a bowl to make the Indian hair growth remedy which works in just 15 minutes.
Ariba Pervaiz (@ariba_p) has almost 92,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares a glimpse into her life as a mom of three.
She shared a photo of when she had a bald spot before revealing the growth she’s experienced since using an Indian healing hair growth mask.
“If you’ve been following my journey with Steve the bald spot let me show you how I got to this using an Indian healing hair growth mask,” she said.
She showed that there was new growth in the area where she was previously balding and then started to mix ingredients in a bowl.
“Start with half a cup of clay bentonite powder,” she said.
“Three tablespoons of your favorite oil, I’m using castor.
“Six tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 10 to 12 tablespoons of water.
“Add it a tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency that you want.”

The beauty enthusiast showed how the ingredients became a smooth gray mixture as she stirred them together.
She then used her hands to apply the mask to her hair and covered it with a shower cap.
“Apply this mask very generously roots to ends on clean hair,” she said.
“This is a really good clarifying hair mask and it draws out toxins, heavy metals, and dead skin from your scalp and your hair.
“Let it hang out for about 15 minutes.
“You can add some heat for better absorption.
“Bentonite clay is also really good for your curls because it removes so much build-up from your hair and scalp, allowing your hair follicles to breathe and regrow hair.”

Over 3,800 people liked the video and many viewers took to the comment section thanking Ariba for sharing the mask.
Love it! Gorgeous hair,” one person wrote.
“Beautiful hair sis! Thank you for sharing,” another said.
“How often should I use it?” a third asked.
“As needed, when you feel the build-up on your scalp/hair,” Ariba replied.
Bentonite clay has been used as a natural treatment for centuries, but scientific research on its benefit to hair is lacking, according to Healthline.
Many people swear by the mudlike substance derived from volcanic ash for treating a dry scalp, damaged hair, frizz, heat damage, and a lack of shine.
Apple cider vinegar may be used alongside the ingredient in hair masks to help balance out the acidity in hair, improving overall health.
