DIY Dry Hair Treatments...

Hey there all :) I didn't get much sleep last night because my doggies kept me up, BUT I am not going to let that stop me for today's blog. I was thinking about it last night, that I have to schedule a hair appointment for a cut and blow-dry It has really been WAY too long since I got my hair cut, and unfortunately there are a lot of dead ends to show for it. My hair is naturally curly, and of course, I tend to wear it straight most of the time. This means lots of heat and flat ironing, which damages my strands </3

If you are like myself and you have dry, damaged hair, here are some at home treatments you can do yourself, without the salon!

Mayonnaise – First you're thinking, mayonnaise in my hair?! It really works! Mayonnaise is naturally full of oil which helps the hair to shine. BUT remember, you don't want too much; just enough to cover the strands. Massage mayonnaise into the hair and cover with a plastic bag. Allow the mayo to remain for at least 30 minutes. Shampoo, rinse and follow with a shampoo if necessary. Repeat this treatment for dry damaged hair on a weekly basis until the desired results are achieved.

Deep Protein Conditioner – This treatment is especially good for dry, damaged hair. Combine 1 TBSP plain gelatin with 1 cup purified water. Allow the mixture to gel slightly, but don't let it set all the way. Add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and if desired, 4 drops rosemary essential oil. Massage evenly into shampooed hair, leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, and then rinse. This formula really helps fortify and strengthen your strands. Repeat up to once per week, as necessary.

Olive Oil – Olive oil nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair. Beat together 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon vegetable glycerin and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Use the mixture on shampooed hair, and spread evenly throughout the hair. Wrap with plastic or a towel and allow to remain for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse.
