Do It Yourself beauty! (hair)

For silky hair:

Remedy#1:Olive oil-Pour a small amount of olive oil in a cup and heat it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Once a week, while in the shower, apply the olive oil to the tips of your hair and massage. Let this sit for about 3-5 minutes then rinse THOROUGHLY. This will help moisturize your hair and restore some of the vitamins. You should probably wash your hair twice with shampoo otherwise the smell of the olive oil will still be there and that's really not that cute lol.


Remedy#2-Mayonaise- Make sure to do this one when you have plenty of time on your hands. Mix a half a cup of mayonaise with a quarter cup of your regular conditioner and apply it all over your head. Let this sit for an hour(you should probably get a shower cap or something unless you want your dog trying to eat your hair.) After the hour is up, hop in the shower and again rinse THOROUGHLY or you will smell like a sandwich.


Remedy#3-This one is pretty easy and its something you can do all the time, When blow drying your hair, use cool air instead of hot air. This will keep it from being as frizzy, but beware this does take a little longer than hot air.

Remedy#4-This one is also very easy but a little bit uncomfortable. Rinse out your conditioner with warm water, then right before your about to get out of the shower, rinse quickly with cool water. The warm water allows the conditioner to penetrate the hair shaft(yeah i really did just say that). When you follow with a cool rinse it locks in the moisture.

Remedy#5- Once a week out conditioner on your hair while its completely dry and let it sit for about 15 minutes then continue with a regular shower. Dry hair can better absorb the conditioner.


Remedy#6-Flyaways- Dip a CLEAN mascara wand in hair gel and run it through your hair, not to close to the root, this can make your hair look greasy. This also gives you a reason to recycle(yes I'm a huge hippy).

Remedy#7- You know that nasty, gridy feeling your hair gets after you use a lot of hair product or going for a swim in a public pool? Try using baking soda and warm water to rinse your hair. Baking soda is somewhat abrasive so don't overdo it. You can also try mixing it with your shampoo.

Remedy#8- Since it is summer, you need to give your hair extra love to keep it healthy and moisturized in the sun. Fill a plastic bottle(you can get them at wal-mart) with one cup of water, one tablespoon of sunscreen, and one table spoon of leave-in conditioner. Shake it up really well and spray it in your hair before and during your time in the sun. You can also damp your hair, coat it in conditioner and braid it. Since your hair will already be wet, it wont absorb as much chlorine. And the braid will dry leaving you with a cute wavy hair do in case you plan to go somewhere after the pool.
