Good Hair Day, Homemade Recipies

Maintain your hair’s  beauty and strength by using natural masks and deep conditioners that you can make from ingredients found in your kitchen. You won’t risk having adverse reactions such as allergies or irritations, since there are no allergens or chemicals present.

Dandruff  Remedies – Use a thyme rinse to get rid of fungal irritation on your hair. Boil a handful of fresh thyme leaves in water for about five minutes. Let it sit to cool before straining the leaves out.

While leaning over a bowl, pour this solution onto your hair, catching the liquid so you can use it again. Let it sit for a few minutes before continuing with your normal shampoo and conditioner.  The oils in thyme will help stunt the growth of fungi that cause that itching and flaking associated with dandruff!

Dry and damaged hair – A common mask that you can apply on your hair is composed of beaten egg, a few tablespoons of olive oil and a bannana. These fatty foods help retain moisture on the scalp as well as stimulate growth of healthy hair. Take one or two eggs, depending on the length of your hair and mix with about a teaspoon of olive oil for each egg and add one bannana. Apply the mixture on your hair from roots to tips, and also massage your scalp. Cover your head with a shower cap to allow your body heat to let the oils penetrate each strand of hair. Leave on for thirty minutes. Finish with shampoo and conditioner.

Dry Dull Hair – To fight dullness, rinse your hair with a cup of apple cider vinegar after shampooing. Then apply a hot-oil treatment such as coconut oil or olive oil and cover with a a shower cap for 30 minutes. Your hair will look shiny and healthy.

Oily Hair – Mix one cup of apple cider vinegar with a teaspoon of mandrin orange oil, a teaspoon of lavendar oil and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the mixture on your hair from roots to midshaft, and also massage your scalp. Try to keep this mixture away from your ends. Cover your head with a shower cap to allow your body heat to let the oils penetrate each strand of hair. Leave on for thirty minutes. Finish with shampoo and conditioner.

Protein Treatment – Hair masks using dairy products are good sources of protein which also help hair grow strong and healthy. Try combinations like yogurt and milk. Honey may also be added to hair masks to make strands shinier and smoother. Keep the hair mask on for at least half an hour before rinsing, then finish with shampoo and conditioner.

Try these hair masks up to two times weekly to maintain lovely, soft, and strong hair. Try Davines NouNou Shampoo and Conditioners by Davines for mild, paraben free hair maintenence!
