Tips for shiny, silky hair During Winter

WASH IT WELL

Lemon Hair Rinse

Use diluted lemon juice in your final rinse when washing fair hair to increase shine. (Add 1 part lemon juice to 8 parts water)

Vinegar Hair Rinse

Use diluted vinegar in final rinse for dark hair to add shine (1 part vinegar to 8 parts water).

DRY HAIR CONDITIONERS

For dry, damaged hair heat some oil and massage into the scalp. Wrap your head in a warm towel and leave for half an hour. Wash off with a mild shampoo. Coconut, olive and castor oil can all be used.

Honey Conditioner

(If you have very fine, dry hair) Mix together 1 egg, 1 tsp honey, 2tsp of coconut or olive oil. Massage into scalp. Wrap head in a warm towel and leave for half an hour. Wash off with mild shampoo.

Egg Shampoo

This is a very old recipe. Beat one or two eggs in a cup of water and massage into wet hair for five to ten minutes. It is important to allow time for the egg to clean the hair and the protein in it to act as a conditioner. It is important to rinse off thoroughly. Don't use hot water as this will scramble the egg!

HAIR TONICS

Adding apple cider vinegar to your rinse water cleanses hair of soap Strong camomile tea is a good rinse for light hair. It also adds highlights to light brown hair. Sage tea stimulates hair growth. Try and get one from a health food store.
