Treatments for Your Tresses That Are Good Enough to Eat
If your hair is
suffering from a lack of luster, split ends or general malaise, dont despair. The solution might be as close as your kitchen.
Here are some of the top treatments people swear by when it comes to adding life to their locks.
Mayonnaise
Want to soften hair and leave it shiny? Then mayonnaise is the conditioning
condiment for you. Comb just enough mayo through your hair to coat it lightly.
Then leave on for 30 minutes before shampooing out per normal. For a deeper conditioning treatment, place a shower cap on
top of your mayo-coated locks and leave on for longer (even overnight if youre feeling extra dry). Other interesting uses?
Next time you get gum stuck in your hair, rub Mayo in until the gum dissolves right out.
Vinegar
Used for centuries as health tonic, this tasty, tangy acid can help remove
residue that dulls your hair. Add about a tablespoon of vinegar to your hair as you rinse it. And if you have an itchy scalp
or dandruff, try massaging full-strength apple cider vinegar into your scalp before shampooing. In addition to adding shine
to your hair, vinegar is also known for its skin healing properties.
Avocado
Talk
about green goddess. Once you're through with this rich hair mask you'll be ready to take on the world. Combine an avocado,
one egg yolk and a dash of olive oil and massage it through your hair. As with most of these treatments, leave on for at least
30 minutes. Then shampoo, rinse and condition as normal. And remember, even if an avocado is past its prime for your salad,
you can still use it on your hair so it doesn't go to waste.
Eggs
Finally! A way to benefit from
eggs' natural proteins without the cholesterol! Crack a few eggs and beat together in bowl. After shampooing, massage through
your hair and leave on before rinsing out thoroughly. This treatment should help repair or strengthen your hair follicles
-- leading to silkier locks with good body. Alternate ideas include whisking one egg yolk together with a dash of olive oil
and 3/4 cups warm water.
Beer Some people use beer
as a styling tonic, but you can just as easily benefit from this brew as a conditioner. Shampoo and rinse as usual. Then pour
one bottle of beer through your hair and massage through from scalp to ends. Rinse thoroughly with cold water. And dont worry;
if you rinse well enough you wont even smell the hops on your hair. Youll just be left with shinier hair with more beautiful
body.
