Damaged Hair Repair Products You Never Dreamed Were In The Kitchen

By Della Monroe


Almost everyone today is wanting to live a nontoxic, chemical free, and natural lifestyle. That extends to how we take care of our bodies including our hair. Even if you do not use harsh coloring products or styling gels and sprays, just the nature of our environment will often lead to frizzy or split strands. Do not fear, there is help you can find in your own kitchen cabinets because there are Damaged Hair Repair Products Easy to Make at home.

Olive oil is something most people have in their home already for cooking. What they may not have known is that it is full of emollients that have a softening quality. The same stuff that beauty aide companies use in their shampoos and conditioners.

If you have coconut oil in the house, grab it also. You can use both combined or each one expertly as treatment for your tresses. How they protect your hair, is they prevent moisture from penetrating into the shaft which causes it to swell and rise. Once this happens, it is easy to break or damage the strand which equals frizzes.

To apply olive oil, just warm up about half a cup then massage it on the scalp and let it sit for about thirty minutes. After that you can shampoo it out. You do the same with coconut oil, then massage it directly onto the scalp and through your hair. Leave it on for at least an hour or overnight. Shampoo and rinse out.

Another really good kitchen item to use is mayonnaise. Two of the ingredients used to make it are a usually olive oil and eggs. The eggs will have lots of protein, which is great for preventing breaks while encouraging new growth and strengthening the weaker strands.

Another protein that aids in strengthening comes from eggs. Yes, eggs, so if you do not have any go buy some and mix twp of them with five tablespoons of mayonnaise. Do not beat with a fork or utensil, instead use your hand to prevent the mixture from turning liquid. You want to be able to apply a paste to your mane and leave it on for thirty minutes or more. Then just shampoo out.

Unfortunately a lot of the things we do and have been taught are what cause the most damage to our beautiful tresses. Using a blow dryer instead of air drying, is one culprit. Another two big reasons for the frizzes is a curling iron and a hot comb. Even towel drying your locks can cause damage if you are rubbing instead of just leaving in place to soak up the moisture.

Others habits we could incorporate that would be helpful are to apply some type of sunscreen when laying in the sun or at the very least put on a hat.Shampoo just the scalp then letting the rest rinse down the length of our tresses is much better than rubbing all of our mane. Always use a deep conditioner at least every two to three weeks.
