Treatments for Your Tresses That Are Good Enough to Eat
If
your hair is suffering from a lack of luster, split ends or general
malaise, don’t despair. The solution might be as close as your kitchen.
Here are some of the top treatments people swear by when it comes to
adding life to their locks.
Mayonnaise
Want to soften hair and leave it shiny? Then mayonnaise is the conditioning condiment for you. Comb
just enough mayo through your hair to coat it lightly. Then leave on
for 30 minutes before shampooing out per normal. For a deeper
conditioning treatment, place a shower cap on top of your mayo-coated
locks and leave on for longer (even overnight if you’re feeling extra
dry). Other interesting uses? Next time you get gum stuck in your hair,
rub Mayo in until the gum dissolves right out.
Vinegar
Used
for centuries as health tonic, this tasty, tangy acid can help remove
residue that dulls your hair. Add about a tablespoon of vinegar to your
hair as you rinse it. And if you have an itchy scalp or dandruff, try
massaging full-strength apple cider vinegar into your scalp before
shampooing. In addition to adding shine to your hair, vinegar is also
known for its skin healing properties.
Avocado
Talk
about green goddess. Once you're through with this rich hair mask
you'll be ready to take on the world. Combine an avocado, one egg yolk
and a dash of olive oil and massage it through your hair. As with most
of these treatments, leave on for at least 30 minutes. Then shampoo,
rinse and condition as normal. And remember, even if an avocado is past
its prime for your salad, you can still use it on your hair so it
doesn't go to waste.
Eggs
Finally! A way to
benefit from eggs' natural proteins without the cholesterol! Crack a
few eggs and beat together in bowl. After shampooing, massage through
your hair and leave on before rinsing out thoroughly. This treatment
should help repair or strengthen your hair follicles -- leading to
silkier locks with good body. Alternate ideas include whisking one egg
yolk together with a dash of olive oil and 3/4 cups warm water.
Beer
Some
people use beer as a styling tonic, but you can just as easily benefit
from this brew as a conditioner. Shampoo and rinse as usual. Then pour
one bottle of beer through your hair and massage through from scalp to
ends. Rinse thoroughly with cold water. And don’t worry; if you rinse
well enough you won’t even smell the hops on your hair. You’ll just be
left with shinier hair with more beautiful body.
