RECIPES FOR YOUR HAIR

DEEP CONDITIONER FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR

1 small jar of real mayonnaise

1/2 of an avocado

Put ingredients together in a medium bowl and squish together with your hands until it’s a minty green color. Smooth into hair all the way to the tips. Put on a shower cap or wrap your head with saran wrap. Leave on for 20 minutes.

For deeper conditioning put a hot, damp towel around your head over the shower cap or saran wrap. If you have really long hair and only need conditioning at the ends, cut the ingredients in half and apply only to the ends and just wrap them.

DRY BRITTLE HAIR TREATMENT

1/2 Cup mayonnaise
Shampoo - few drops
Luke warm water

For conditioning dry, brittle hair, mix mayo with shampoo. Add enough lukewarm water to mix.
Apply to hair after a regular shampoo. Leave on for 10 minutes then shampoo out.

HOT OIL HAIR TREATMENT
1 application

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon honey

combine oil and honey in a small plastic sandwich bag.
Fill a coffee cup with water and heat until almost boiling (approx 1 minute in microwave)
dip bag in hot water until oil mixture is warm
Apply warm oil to dry hair, working from scalp to tips
Cover your head with a shower cap and leave on for 15 minutes
Wash hair as usual.

NOTE: While hair is conditioning, hop in shower or bath. The warmer the oil stays, the better it works.

DRY SHAMPOO

1/2 cup cornstarch.

Sprinkle the cornstarch in your hair.  Let it absorb for a few minutes.  Brush it out. 

This is wonderful to freshen-up your hair in a pinch between shampoos... or great to take on camping trips when fresh water is unavailable for using a liquid shampoo. You can also add a couple drops of fragrance oil to the cornstarch for a nice scented dry shampoo.

HAIR MOUSSE

Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon plain gelatin in 1 cup boiling water

Let sit at room temperature until slightly set.  Rub into wet or dry hair, and blow dry.

GOLDY LOCKS HIGHLIGHTS

1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 cups chamomile tea, brewed and cooled

Shampoo and condition hair, towel dry.  Then apply mixture of lemon juice and chamomile tea.  Sit out in the sun for an our to dry or stay indoors and blow dry your for for a subtler sun-kissed effect.  Shampoo and condition hair again to rinse out juice residue and take care of tangles caused by the acidity of the lemons.

Repeat once a week for a month to noticeably pump up the highlights.  Gently brings out natural highlights and adds tons of texture to blonde and brunette tresses.
