It is not a gender specific desire to want to look our best. Sometimes that means we alter ourselves with the easiest being our hair. We dye it and fry it with chemicals, irons, and dryers. Sadly, we are often left with a head full of split or frizzy strands. Well, dry your tears, because there is help ahead and it is not going to cost you a lot of money. In this day and age of natural living, except for our tresses of course, there are easy and successful do it yourself damaged hair repair products. Let me tell you about a few.
Olive oil contains fatty acids acting as an emollient that coats the locks of your mane to keep it protected, soft, and healthy. The same fatty acids are what commercial manufactures use as part of the ingredients in the shampoo and conditioner you may be paying a good deal of money for. Instead of going to the beauty aisle of the supermarket, go to the kitchen cabinet.
Coconut oil also contain the same fatty acids and emollients. When either or both oils are massaged on and left for an hour or longer it does the most good. The oil prevents water from penetrating the strands which causes it to then rise. The reason this is a good thing, is because when the shaft rises, it can break and is prone to damage.
All you need to is heat up a half cup of either and apply it directly to your locks. It is not advised to use the microwave to heat up, instead place a container with the oil over a pot or bowl of very warm water and wait for it to get warm. After you let it rest on your tresses for at least an hour, you can shampoo out.
Another really good kitchen item to use is mayonnaise. Two of the ingredients used to make it are a usually olive oil and eggs. The eggs will have lots of protein, which is great for preventing breaks while encouraging new growth and strengthening the weaker strands.
The protein found in eggs, will keep the natural oil found in your locks intact plus it will thicken and strengthen your tresses. An easy recipe to use is five tablespoons of mayonnaise mixed with two raw eggs. You do not want to end up with a liquid mix, so use your fingers to blend the two ingredients just enough to have a paste like mixture. Apply this to your scalp and hair and let it sit for forty-five minutes to an hour. Shampoo and rinse when time is up.
So, how did you get such a hot mess to begin with? Many grooming techniques are actually the cause for the damage. Rubbing shampoo the length of your locks, toweling dry by rubbing it, and brushing it while still wet are also harmful. Also the obvious but needs to be repeated are using the high setting when using a curling iron, hot comb, or blow dryer.
Others habits we could incorporate that would be helpful are to apply some type of sunscreen when laying in the sun or at the very least put on a hat.Shampoo just the scalp then letting the rest rinse down the length of our tresses is much better than rubbing all of our mane. Always use a deep conditioner at least every two to three weeks.
