Practical Natural Hair Care

Hair recipes for different hair types.

Shampoo:

Method 1:

Sprinkle some corn starch in your hair and let sit for a few minutes then comb out. Great if you’re in a hurry. This removes oil and grease from your hair. Do this before or after you shower.

Method 2:

While in the shower grab a Castile bar of soap and rub in between your hands until you have a lot of foam. Wash your hair with the foam.

Conditioner:

Mayonnaise.

Deep Conditioner:

Ingredients:

• 1 part Avocado
• 1 part Mayonnaise
• 1 Teaspoon Coconut Milk

Directions:

Cut avocado in half and remove the skin and seed. Place in a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir, mash and whip. Add mayonnaise. Stir, mash and whip. Add coconut milk. Stir, mash and whip. You’re done. Apply however much you want to your hair and store the rest in the fridge for later. Once applied put on a shower cap with a towel fresh from the dryer over that. Let sit for 10-30 minutes. Read a magazine and if you want switch to a warmer towel half way through the wait.

Dandruff:

Wet hair and rub in a handful of dry baking soda, then rinse.

For Oily Hair:

Fill a spray bottle with distilled water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Use that.

For Dry Hair:

Apply a little olive oil to the ends of hair. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Rinse.

To Make Hair Shiny:

Rinse with beer.
