Homemade Hair Treatments: Chapter One

We've talked about homemade honey yogurt mask. You know what? You can have homemade hair treatments by using exact the same materials! We are going to introduce these amazing organic hair treatments in several chapters.  

For All Hair Types

The  egg is really the best of all worlds. The yolk, rich in fats and proteins, is naturally moisturizing, while the white, which contains bacteria-eating enzymes, removes unwanted oils. For normal hair, use the entire egg to condition hair; use egg whites only to treat oily hair; use egg yolks only to moisturize dry, brittle hair.

To Use:

1. Use 1/2 cup of whichever egg mixture is appropriate for you and apply to clean, damp hair. If there isn’t enough egg to coat scalp and hair, use more as needed.

2. Leave on for 20 minutes, rinse with cool water (to prevent egg from “cooking”) and shampoo hair.

Note: whole egg and yolks-only treatments can be applied once a month; whites-only treatment can be applied every two weeks.

For Dull Hair

Styling products (as well as air pollution) can leave a film that both saps moisture and dulls shine—but dairy products like sour cream and plain yogurt can help reverse this damage. Lactic acid gently strips away dirt while the milk fat moisturizes.

To Use: 

1. Massage 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt into damp hair and let sit for 20 minutes.

2.Rinse with warm water, followed by cool water, then shampoo hair as you normally would.

Note: Treatment can be applied every other week.

More homemade hair treatments applied for different hair types will be exposed in next chapters.
