• Boil on low heat for about 10 minutes until the okra juice becomes slimy.
• Remove the pot from the stove.
• Add some other natural ingredients like lemon juice, honey, mint oil etc.
• Allow the mixture to cool and then filter.

The okra juice is applied to the hair after washing with shampoo and drying. It is massaged into the hair and scalp, then left for 5 minutes. It is then rinsed off.
