List of Ingredients



• 2 small or 1 large jalapeño pepper
  
• 1/2 cup vodka

1. Mince the jalapeño pepper and place in a small ceramic bowl. Pour the vodka over the peppers and allow mixture to sit for 3 or 4 days.
   
   
2. Strain the vodka and discard the peppers. Add the castor oil to the pepper vodka; store in a bottle.
   
   
3. Shake before using. Massage 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon into your scalp before going to bed (it will cause a slight tingling sensation). Shampoo your hair as usual in the morning.
