ReplyDeleteFor dry hair pls try these hot oil massages....they will help in maintaing the natural sheen of your hair and will also condition your hair:
ReplyDeleteHot oil massages: Warm 2 tsp. of olive oil and 2 tsp. coconut oil and gently massage every part of the scalp for 10-15 minutes. Rinse a towel in hot water, wipe and wind the hair around the head as it cools. Repeat 2 or 3 times to issue total saturation. After that, shampoo and rinse well. It is good for brittle dry hair.
Hot Caster oil massage: Warm ½ cup of castor oil, massage into scalp and gently comb it. Bind the hair with hot towel on the head, wait for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse. As it is home made is so good to use for scanty hair.
Clove oil honey massage. Stir well ½ cup of green olive oil with 1 cup of liquid honey. Shake vigorously. Keep the mixture to settle for a day or two. Massage into the scalp and comb it not touching the scalp. After massaging cover hair with plastic shower cap. Make it air tight to let the heat penetrate, leave like that for 20 to 30 minutes. Then shampoo and rinse well. It is good for dark hair to keep it shining and lustrous

Thanks, I’ll look into that conditioners.
ReplyDeleteBetter to avoid lemon juice for dry hair. For frizzy hair hot oil massage will help
ReplyDeleteTry drinking more water, taking in less salt, and use the mayonnaise in your refrigerator as a conditioner. If you want it even shinier, try adding an egg to it
ReplyDeletemy hair is very small and dry, will you suggest any good tips?
ReplyDeleteyou can use mayonnaise and yogurt separately or combine them together as a hair conditioner. Additionally, you can also use fruit pulp with them and apply the paste on your hair. Keep the paste applied for about 15 minutes and then wash off with cold water.
ReplyDeletegreen tea is yet another conditioner rich in compounds that are helpful for the hair. Take two tea bags and put them in a glass of boiling water. Now cover the glass and allow the tea bags to steep in the hot water for about 15 minutes. Thereafter, take out the tea bags and let the solution cool down. Use this solution as a conditioner on your hair after you had a shampoo wash.
ReplyDeleteA small amount of olive oil applied after shampooing can substitute hair conditioner.
ReplyDeleteWhich is the most effective conditioner?
ReplyDeleteToo much sun exposure can dry your hair. So, use a hair spray that offers SPF protection or use a head gear (scarf or hat) when out in the sun.
