Mushroom melanin magic elixir
To make a mushroom melanin elixir, boil a handful of black mushrooms in water until the liquid reduces by half. Strain the liquid and let it cool.
Apply this elixir to your hair twice a week, let it sit for an hour before rinsing it off.
Black mushrooms are rich in natural melanin, which helps to gradually darken hair while supplying vital nutrients that promote healthy hair growth.
Ingredient 1
The power of portobello
Portobello mushrooms are not only delicious but also a rich source of natural melanin and antioxidants.
By incorporating portobello mushrooms into your everyday meals, you can stimulate your body's melanin production from the inside out.
This internal melanin surge can result in naturally darker, healthier locks. Plus, the high vitamin D content in these mushrooms strengthens hair follicles, further enhancing hair health.

For a topical application, you can create your own shiitake shine serum.
Simply simmer shiitake mushrooms in coconut oil on low heat for two hours or until the oil turns dark.
Let it cool and strain. Then massage the oil into your scalp and hair once a week.
Shiitake mushrooms are high in copper, which helps produce melanin and gives your hair a beautiful shine.
