Home Remedies for your Hair

By: Kim Myers
There are four types of hair we’ll focus on in this article, processed/treated, curly, wavy, and straight. Instead of picking up some expensive product from the store, you may want to try an alternative approach at home. You may already have some of the ingredients.
For processed/treated hair try this at home treatment. This contains essential nutrients based mostly on dairy products that will help restore processed hair to its natural lustre.
Mix these together in a blender:
1 egg
2 tbsp cream cheese
2 tbsp cream
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp water
1/4 grapefruit
Leave the mixture on hair approximately five minutes and then rinse with cool water. Allow to dry naturally.

For curly hair (this is my hair to an extreme) you need something really rich and emmolient. The ingredients need to be moisturizing and produce shine and gloss to hair that otherwise, is not ordinarily glossy. This really works too because I’ve used it and love both these ingredients, not only for the hair but for dry skin too.
1/2 cup olive oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
Heat olive oil until just warm, not hot, and then add lavender oil. Make sure the temperature is lukewarm and apply to the hair. Wrap your hair in a towel or turban for approximately 20 to 30 minutes to allow for absorption. Wash with a gentle shampoo. This process may need to be repeated a couple times until hair is at a point that is well conditioned.

Next week home recipes for wavy and straight hair will be provided. If you have a home remedies you’d like to share, I’d love to hear from you. These tips come from "The Beauty Book" by Helen Foster. Kim Myers wahuhi@comcast.net
