Let’s face it, we all go through periods in our life when we are forced to tighten our financial belts. We might encounter an unbudgeted home repair or junior might wreck the car. There are lots of things that can go wrong in everyday life and they very often do. During those times, most of us look for ways to cut corners. One great tip is to eliminate expensive hair and skin care products by turning to natural ones that you can whip up right in your own kitchen. Whether it is a hair conditioner, rinse, clarifier or a something to soften your skin or whiten your teeth, there are a lot of things in my refrigerator and cabinet that you can use.
Like most women, I’m very particular about how my hair looks. Luckily there are several products in my kitchen that can actually help even baby fine, dry, brittle, damaged hair like mine! So let's have a look at the hair care products you can make in your very own home:
Avocado makes a wonderful hair conditioning treatment because it is rich in natural oils as well as vitamin B-6 and E. It is also packed with protein and has wonderful hydrating properties. You can use mashed avocado alone or mix it with lemon juice and/or aloe or mayonnaise to make an easy to use paste. Apply your chosen mixture to your hair and then comb it through with a wide-tooth comb or a hair pick. Wrap the hair with one of those wonderful Turbie Twist towels and let it sit for between 15 and 45 inutes. All that is left to then is to wash, rinse, and set.
Banana can help restore life to dull looking hair. Simply mix it together with a little bit of olive oil to make a natural paste. Apply liberally throughout the hair before it is shampooed. Comb the mixture through with a hair pick or wide-tooth comb. Let it sit for 20 minutes to one hour (covered or uncovered). Finally, shampoo, rinse, and style. Your newly revitalized hair should bounce with more elasticity and glow with revitalized shine.
Beer can add body, fullness, softness, and shine to dull, flat hair. The proteins found in the malt and hops of beer actually help to coat, rebuild, and repair damaged hair. The quality of the beer isn’t of major concern, although flat beer works better than fresh. You also want to choose a variety that doesn’t have too strong of an odor, or the scent left behind could be overpowering. Apply the beer to freshly shampooed hair, working it through to the ends. Finally rinse with lukewarm water and style as usual.
Chamomile tea, mixed with beer, makes a wonderful natural hair lightener. Simply rinse the hair with beer as noted above and follow up with one or two cups of brewed chamomile tea. Let the tea sit on the hair for about five minutes and then rinse it out as well. The lightening effect of the tea will be very gradual but it will occur over time. How quickly and to what depth it lightens will be somewhat dependent on how often you shampoo and rinse. http://www.ultraimports.com.au/legal.php
