Taking
Care of Your Hair
In today's
world, it seems that almost any
topic is open for debate. While I
was gathering facts for this
article, I was quite surprised to
find some of the issues about
hair care I thought were settled
are actually still being openly
discussed.
Save
money and give yourself a
break from the chemicals
found in most hair care products
by using the following natural
home remedies.
Tame your
frizzy hair by rubbing coconut
oil into your hands and applying
sparingly onto your hair. You
don't want to overdo it - too
much will make your hair look
greasy. Shampooing your hair less
frequently also helps with the
frizzies. Excess shampooing
strips natural oils from the
hair.
Rinse your
hair with baking soda and water
to rid your hair of shampoo
buildup and styling residues.
Rinsing your hair with one juiced
lemon and one cup of water is
said to bring life and shine back
to dull hair. Apple cider vinegar
mixed with water will give your
hair shine and bounce.
Add
essential oil of ylang ylang to
your shampoo, conditioner and
styling agents as a hair
rejuvenator and to stimulate hair
growth. Add patchouli to your
shampoo if you have oily hair.

Truthfully,
the only difference
between you and hair
care experts is time.
If
you'll invest a little
more time in reading,
you'll be that much
nearer to expert status
when it comes to hair
care.
Rosemary
is an effective hair
tonic and conditioner.
Rosemary also helps
retain color especially
in dark hair.

Chamomile and lemon juice have a
mild bleaching effect on hair.
Mix chamomile tea with lemon
juice and use as a rinse to
lighten hair.
For
problems with dandruff, add
rosemary and/or patchouli
essential oils to your shampoo or
mix with almond oil as a hair
treatment for your
scalp.
For hair
loss, add horseradish oil,
cedarwood, clary sage, and/or
rosemary oil to your shampoo.
Also, Vitamins B, C, F, zinc,
iron, copper and protein are
essential for hair growth. MSM
(Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is a
natural source of organic sulfur
good for treating hair loss. Take
MSM supplements or eat high
sulfur content greens such as
kale and watercress.
Drinking
plenty of water and eating plenty
of raw fruits and vegetables is
probably the best way to
achieving healthy hair. What goes
into your body is reflective on
the outside including your hair.
Is there
really any information about hair
care that is nonessential? We all
see things from different angles,
so something relatively
insignificant to one may be
crucial to another.
