A Little Tip

Since it’s summertime, the hair will most like fall victim to intense UV radiation and deterioration. How do we take care of that? We use grandma's hair masks! Why? Because these old simple methods proved time and time again that they work. Mix an egg or two, depending on your hair length with some olive oil, castor-oil ( which you can get at the local pharmacy, helps if you have hair-loss, a very common occurrence nowadays with all the fumes and pollution-)and some honey. These are the basics but you can make all kinds of variations and add anything you see fit..mash fruit, use camomile,use walnut oil, coconut oil, vitamin A phials if you can get them...anything you want. The local pharmacy should have them. You can put some lemon juice but remember that the acid from the lemon may attack the color if you color your hair. I know these may look strange at first but they make wonders. Keep the mask on for about 4-5 hours. This is perfect for rainy afternoons when you have nothing better to do but stay inside with a good book or a good film. If you want to keep the mask over-night, that's fine. You can put some plastic foil over the pillow or a thick towel to keep the pillow clean. In my opinion the best treatments are the organic ones. There are so many chemicals that we come in contact with on a daily basis not to mention the ones we use for our hair already so why not try something organic and eco. Let me know if they work! :D
