At Home Hair Treatments
This was the first one we did. Yes, Jason was a huge sport and tried one with me. He did the one for itchy scalp. Head and Shoulders doesn't even help his dandruff problem.
Itchy scalp:
2 T lemon juice, 2 T olive oil, 2 T water-mix together, massage into scalp and let set for 20 minutes. Rinse out and wash hair. (Can use every 2 weeks)
And it worked!
I used the one that's supposed to add shine to your hair.
For dull hair:
½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt. Massage into hair and scalp. Let sit for 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm, then cool water. Then wash. (Can use every 2 weeks)You really need to wash it 2x though.
The first day that I did it, my hair looked like the hair of a super model! But it didn't last 2 weeks. It lasted for a few days. You can also do this with mayonnaise by the way.
Other ones that I'd like to try, or you can try are:
For dry hair:
*3ggs, 2T Olive oil, 1 t vinegar-mix together and rub into hair and scalp. Leave in for 30 min. Then wash out.
*Mayonnaise: Spread throughout hair. Secure with a plastic bag and hold in for 30 min. Then wash out.
For burnt hair from sun or irons:
½ cup of honey. Massage into clean damp hair and leave for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. (Can use once a month) You can add 1-2 T olive oil to make it spread easier. I did something like this on my mission and my hair was lovely afterwards for weeks.
For frizzy hair:
Mash up half an avocado and massage into clean, damp hair. Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with water. You can also add 1 to 2 Tbsp of sour cream, egg yolks or mayonnaise. You can do it every two weeks.
For Limp or Fine Hair
Mix 1/2 cup flat beer (pour beer into a container and let it sit out for a couple of hours to deplete carbonation) with 1 tsp canola oil and an egg. Apply to clean, damp hair and let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water. You can also do this every other week.
For oily or greasy hair:
Pour 1 Tbsp cornmeal or cornstarch into an empty salt or pepper shaker and sprinkle onto dry hair and scalp. After 10 minutes, use a hairbrush to completely brush it out. Treatment can be applied every other day.
