Nat (@nfusednat) filmed herself holding the mixture in a viral video on TikTok.

She then turned the camera to her neighbor, who had cascading hair down her back.

"Results you'll get," read the text.

The mixture contained several of nature's remedies, but the neighbor shared the key to making it work optimally.

LOCKS FOR DAYS

Nat's neighbor clearly had shiny and long hair with no thinning spots in sight.

She asked her what it actually entails — noting that it's one of many "#MexicanRemedies."

The neighbor said the mixture includes ginger, cinnamon, cloves, rosemary, and regular shampoo as a carrier.

She also recommended using it every other day to see maximum results.

The neighbor added that the key is to let the mixture "ferment" for five days before using.

HOW IT WORKS

The ingredients in the concoction are known to promote hair growth, including scalp health.

Rosemary in particular has been a popular choice for those looking for longer locks.

According to The Cleveland Clinic, rosemary has been shown to be as effective as Minoxidil for hair growth.

Minoxidil is the key ingredient in over-the-counter products such as Rogaine.

Nat's neighbor's mixture is called "shampoo bomba," a hair care remedy that's been used for ages.

"My neighbor makes me miss my long black hair," Nat added in the caption.

BY A HAIR

Several TikTokers reacted to the video, sharing their two cents in the comment section.

"That's that liquid gold right there," one wrote.

"I wash my hair with rosemary and it grew so long in a little time," another added.

"I’ve been using this for a couple weeks and it works," a third commented. "My hair is super soft and shiny. It has also helped with fall out."
