Food For Your Hair

DO-IT-YOURSELF … Try homemade hair remedies for lustrous locks.

Treat coloured hair:

D-I-Y: mixed 2 oz of normal mayonnaise and 1 tbs oif cider vinegar in a bowl. Apply mixture to hair and comb through with a large comb. Leave on for one hour; then rinse hair until clean.

Promote hair growth:

D-I-Y: mix equal quantities of olive oil and spirit of rosemary, add a few drops of oil of nutmeg and mix together. Massage hair roots every night with a little bit of this liniment to help growth.

Soften & shine up:

D-I-Y: mix the inside of a pumpkin with 1 egg and a tub of yoghurt. The pumpkin will clarify hair, the egg adds shine and yoghurt softens stiff hair. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and then wash out with cool water.

Remove build-up:

D-I-Y: rub lemon juice all over your scalp, leave for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off. This will rid your hair of excess build-up from styling products, neutralize the alkalinity and help with dandruff for a cleaner scalp.
