The reason why blackstrap molasses is so good for your hair is because its contains copper, which is an essential trace mineral for bodily maintenance. Two teaspoons of blackstrap molasses contains approximately 14% of your daily recommended intake of copper, as well as many other trace minerals (such as magnesium, iron, and selenium) which work ‘hand-in-hand’ with copper to help restore your body’s physiological health. Indeed, copper supplements are sometimes viewed as vanity supplements, since many people who take it do so for its physical benefits – including improved hair quality, as well as the possibility of restoring graying hair back to its original color (copper aids the production of the hair and skin pigment melanin). So, when people talk or write about blackstrap’s hair benefits, they’re really talking about its copper content – which molasses contains in abundance, and naturally (unlike copper supplements, which are usually synthetic in nature).
