 Superior
Hair Treatment - BY MEGAN V. |
|
This is a GREAT hair conditioner,
superior to all others!
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon bath oil (scented
to hide smell)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 drops of vanilla extract
- 1 egg, whipped
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 avocado
- 1 banana (mashed)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
In one bowl, combine coconut
oil, bath oil, olive oil and vanilla extract. It is important
that you do this first so that the smell has time to settle.
In another bowl, whip one egg until fluffy. Continue mixing on
low and add milk, and water. Heat honey so it is soft and warm
and then add to egg mixture. Mash avocado, banana and mayonnaise
in a separate bowl until it is a mint-yellow color. Then, add
egg mixture to the avocado mixture and fold them together until
mixed completely. Finally, add in coconut mixture and stir in
gently. Let cool in fridge for about 30-40 minutes. Put on shampooed
hair and comb through and leave on for 20-30 minutes. Rinse out
very well and follow with a good conditioner (to rinse out smell).
Keep this concoction refrigerated and it should last at least
two weeks. This should make hair shiny, soft, and silky. It will
help repair broken or damaged hair and reduce frizz. Enjoy! |

Natural Anti-Frizz - BY
GABRIELLE K., SYDNEY |
|
Instead of using mashed avocado,
try using cold-pressed avocado oil. You can buy it from health
food stores, in Australia it's about $12 for 200mL. Use it as
a deep conditioner and sleep in it, or just comb a little bit
through towel dried hair as an anti-frizz. Gives hair a natural
gloss without petro-chemicals or synthetics and doesn't smell
as strongly as extra virgin olive oil. Hope this is useful! |

Oily Hair -
BY CTHORSERIDER |
|
To get rid of oily hair mix 1 part
lemon juice with three parts warm (not hot!) water after shampooing
and let your scalp soak in it. Don't rinse it out!!!!! If you
add honey it makes your hair soft and shiny. |

Curly Hair ( Non Frizz) - BY
TIFFANY |
|
If you have
curly hair that always frizzes like I do when you get out of
the shower NEVER dry your hair with a blow dryer or towel, all
it does is make it frizz more. Curly hair needs to "naturally"
dry, if it is to wet then you can squeeze the ends of your hair
with your hand, then just add whatever you usually would.
P.S. I love
the site my friend showed me it and now I can't get off of it! |

No More Frizz!
- BY LAURA B., TUSCALOOSA
AL |
|
Shower as normal, except don't
rinse out your conditioner, when you get out, dampen a towel,
and put in the microwave for about 3 minutes or until its steamy,
wrap hair in towel and let sit. Do this over and over again as
much as you want, finally rinse hair and style as usual. The
hot steam opens up the pores in your hair and lets the conditioner
really get in there. |
