SECRETS TO HEALTHY HAIR FOUND IN YOUR KITCHEN (PART 1)


The secret to healthy hair is only a few steps away. Much of the foods that we eat are in fact excellent food for our hair too. The natural properties provided by many of these hair care remedies far supersedes those provided by their processed, beauty supply store bought, counterparts. Below are some of the many foods that your hair would just love to eat up:




HONEY - Honey is a natural humectant, which means it attracts and holds on to water molecules, thus making it a great moisturizing agent and an effective food to combat hair dryness. Add a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of your favorite oil to your conditioner and allow it to penetrate your hair for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and experience softness and sheen that that is well needed. You will bee happy. :)   


EGG - Eggs are known to be rich in protein and are very effective for hydrating and repairing damaged hair. The protein provided by the egg helps to make your hair stronger, thicker and healthier.  Eggs can be used to strengthen the hair follicles because of its high protein content.  If you are experiencing breakage then a protein treatment is a sure remedy. Combine two eggs with two tablespoons of  extra-virgin olive oil and work the mixture through the strands. Leave for 30 minutes and rinse with cold water. This will give your hair a boost of strength and will prevent your hair from giving you a raw deal. 


APPLE CIDER VINEGAR - Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is known for its reputation of being an excellent cleansing agent. It is very useful  for removing excessive build up and residue. If your hair tends to be packed with layers of oils, moisturizers, gels etc. this is a sure ingredient to help to remove them. Mix one Tbsp of ACV with two cups of water and shake well in a spray bottle. After your regular shampoo has been rinsed out, spray the ACV mixture into the hair.Many people leave the mixture in the hair but I prefer to lightly rinse it out before applying my conditioner. The ACV helps to close up the cuticles that are opened up during the shampoo process.It is also known to help with dandruff and itchy scalp. Dont worry about the slight vinegar smell that lingers after rinsing, it will totally disappear when your hair totally dries.
