How To Care For Damaged Hair

By:




Do you frown when you look at your hair in the mirror? Do you cringe when you run your fingers through it and feel the brittleness? Do you fear cutting is the only option to repair your damaged hair? It isnt. If you are willing to change the way you care for your hair, you can have healthy, silky soft hair in no time.

The first thing to do is to stop buying cheap shampoos and conditioners. No matter what they promise in commercials and magazine ads, stop trusting them. What you hair needs is an organic shampoo and conditioner, a mixture of keratin, wheat and essential oils. Yes, the organic shampoo will cost a little more, but it wont be long before you will see and feel the difference.

The same for hair colorants. Stop coloring your hair at home and visit a salon. Ask for an organic colorant, many of the semi-permanent colorants are much more hair friendly than the permanent ones. Chances are, ones you have been advised by an expert, you can continue using that product at home.

Whenever possible let your hair dry naturally and if you have to blow dry, use the coolest setting. Avoid flatirons and curling irons. The intense heat of those tools is devastating to your hair. If you want a smooth or curled style you may want to look at the InStyler. www.instylerhair.com

Instead of buying mousses and gels, try some natural products. Store bought products contain alcohol and that is the last thing you want. Instead go for something natural, something you probably already have in your kitchen.

Olive oil is Mother Natures miracle worker. Rub a few drops of olive oil between the palms of your hands and smooth over hair. Your hair may appear greasy at first, but the oil will quickly be absorbed.

Another effective product is mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is made of eggs and oil and is natural nourishment in a jar. Just scoop of the mayonnaise and lather it onto your hair. You can wind a towel around your head for extra benefit. Give a good wash afterward.

You can also use eggs. Beat up a couple of eggs like you would for an omelet, but instead of putting them on a pan, put the mixture on your hair. Leave for a few hours and then wash with lukewarm water, you dont want to end up with scrambled eggs in your hair.

Once you stop believing what the commercials are trying to sell you, and you go organic, you will never go back. Try it, you will not be disappointed.
