Recipes for Hair Care to Help the Family Budget
Filed under Natural Hair Care
Everyone wants hair that is healthy, shiny and soft. The problem is that the expensive shampoos, conditioners and leave-in conditioners that seem to really work, can be expensive. Having great looking hair can strain a family budget. The good news is that if you are willing to put in a little time and effort, there are several recipes for hair care that you can make in your very own kitchen, at a fraction of the salon prices.
Recipes for Soft Hair
Do you have hair that looks great but feels dry and brittle when you touch it? Do you long for hair that is as soft as silk? Did your stylist tell you that the problem was a result of build up? There is a simple recipe for hair care that will strip your hair of all the junk clogging its pores, leaving you hair so soft you won’t be able to stop touching it. The best thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t mess up your kitchen either.
This recipe for hair care should be applied to your hair after it’s been washed and conditioned. You need a quarter of a cup of vinegar and an equal amount of water. Mix the two together and pour it over your wet hair, don’t rinse it out. A second recipe for hair care is baking soda. You rub the baking soda into your hair and scalp and then continue washing your hair.
If your dry brittle hair is a result of damage, or the environment, a recipe for hair care you might want to try is thoroughly rubbing your dry hair with half a cup of mayonnaise. When your hair is completely coated in mayonnaise cover your head with a plastic shower cap. Give the mayonnaise at least 20 minutes to work its magic, before washing your hair. If you can’t stand the idea of your hair smelling like the inside of a mayonnaise jar, follow the same steps with half of cup of honey.
Honey is also wonderful for conditioning your skin. (I can’t speak highly enough about honey, because I was a beekeeper!) Honey washes out easily with water, I promise!
Herbs for Every Hair Type
There is a perfectly good explanation why companies include herbs in their recipes for hair care, because herbs are nature’s way of taking care of hair. If you have dark hair you should wash and condition it with rosemary. If you are trying to get your hair to grow, try adding catnip, Burdock root or chamomile to your hair washing regime. If your hair is prone to split ends and breaks easily, start washing it with sage.
I hope some of these recipes help your hair care program and your pocket!
