I have used the whey from that for my hair. I have noticed that my hair doesn't get as greasy as fast. I used to have to wash my hair about every 3 days because of the greasy look. Now, it doesn't get greasy until 2 to 3 weeks after I wash my hair. Since I came across this site, now I wait for the milk to separate, and then I use that for my hair.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646983426390669163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313653908705678554.post-33139397255330630452021-03-30T11:27:51.104-07:002021-03-30T11:27:51.104-07:00So, If I just let the raw milk get sour, it then s...So, If I just let the raw milk get sour, it then separates.

...I'm going to try the kefir whey in my hair. <br />Regarding kefir in the fridge, this is my preferred method to make it. Less yeast. <br />Where to get the grains? I bought mine on Amazon. I paid too much for them, but I could not find them anywhere else and got them, a HUGE mistake, from Fusion Teas. Do not get their grains. There is also a lady with an Etsy shop that sells grains and she has excellent reviews her name is MrMrsKefir. I suggest looking there. I paid $20 with Fusion Teas, which was a rip off, and the grains were so yeasty it took me two weeks to get them to back to kefir dominant. $10 is a normal price. <br />Water grains are nothing but milk grains use with sugar. Once you've used milk grains to make into water grains you cannot change them back to milk grains, so just know that. iownfrodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767902907109086703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313653908705678554.post-57201685311940917562017-05-13T05:45:51.171-07:002017-05-13T05:45:51.171-07:00You can generally consider it safe if there's ...You can generally consider it safe if there's no mold.

After I aged (40s) it became a dull dirty blonde with a mix of grey chunks starting... then a white streak started to develop towards the front right side of my head. When I started with kombucha and kefir it changed my dull dirty blonde(with grey chunks) to the shiny yellow blonde, then the white streak started to fill in with more yellow blonde and became much thicker ... and then began to grow fast for the first time in my life. Right now my hair is all shiny blonde, with a few white and grey hairs here and there. For the most part it looks like the same color as when I was young (except with a pinch of white and greys if u look very close). People always stop me tell me my hair is beautiful and ask me what I do to keep it so beautiful. They also ask tell me they cannot help but ask if I color it or who does my hair. So, I would say the kefir and kombucha are working very well.

I would like to give her my extra whey but, logistically, how would I instruct her mom to wash her hair with it? The child is completely disabled.
