I bet in your bathroom you have many beauty products have used…especially for your hair. You most likely have several different name brand products that promise the same results. How many different mousses, straighteners, conditioners do you have laying around, half used?
I found this website the other day that has natural at home care recipes for hair, skin, nails, ect. It is so cool! The products we buy for our hair can be very expensive and the list of ingredients is ridiculous. You would have to be a chemist to understand what is in the product. We might run for the hills and wonder why we have not gone bald! And, there always seems to be one thing in common with these products. Most, if not all, contain alcohol which is extremely drying. I have VERY fragile hair and I constantly battle drying and split ends. I ride a motorcycle and bicycle and I know that the wind and sun damages my hair. When I wrap my hair up tight and tuck it in the helmet, even that seems to break my hair. I enjoy swimming and will swim in the lake and streams that we are so blessed to have around us. But a pool? Yikes! The chlorine would eat my hair alive!
I have spent so much money on high quality products being warned from hairdressers to stay away from the cheaper products on our store shelves. So, I have used the high dollar stuff, not noticing much difference, yet scared to death of using the store stuff thinking my problem would be much worse.
So, this natural website was a wonderful discovery! For deep conditioning, there is a recipe for simply using mayonnaise. I guess it really isn’t a recipe cuz that is all you use. According to the recipe, heat up 2 towels on high in the dryer. Then, while they are heating up, grab some mayonnaise and smear it all into your hair. Put on a hair baggy and wrap the first towel around your head for 20 minutes. Then put the 2nd heated towel on your head for 20 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition. I did not use the towels, but bagged up my hair and let it sit. And, guess what. It worked. My hair was extremely soft. For extra shine? Use a tablespoon (or teaspoon? I can’t remember) to 4 cups warm water and use as a rinse. Possible caution! Watch for bears that might tackle you and lick your head!
