You may or may not know that I went to Cosmetology School and have a passion for the beauty industry as well. Health and beauty go hand in hand, that is why I decided to do this post today. So here's to those of you that feel like your hair is in a rut! I hope you find it helpful:)
1. Always give your hair a blast of cold water at the end of a shower. When you shower, use lukewarm water instead of steaming hot water, because if the water is too hot it will strip your hair of its natural oils. Right before you get out of the shower, turn the water's temperature to be as cold as you can get it, and give your hair a quick blast of cold water to lock in the shine,
2. Mix the juice of a lemon into a couple of tablespoons of conditioner. Use this mixture in your hair in place of shampoo. The lemon juice will dissolve all of the hair product buildup, so your hair will be left soft, smooth and full of shine.
3. If your hair is really dull or dry, give yourself a deep moisturizing hair treatment with mayonnaise before you shower. Distribute a decent amount of mayo throughout your hair, and cover your hair with a showercap. Relax for 30 minutes, and then shower and wash it to remove the mayo from your hair.You can also you a dime sized amount of olive oil.
4.Grab a few eggs out the refrigerator, crack them and scramble them in a bowl. Then slather the raw eggs all over your hair. Cover with a shower cap and let this sit for about an hour. Then, rinse with shampoo and follow with a conditioner. Eggs help bring the shine back to your hair.
5. If your hair is dry and lacking in shine, then try to shampoo your hair every other day. The longer your natural oils are there the better. I say go as long as you can before it loks gross.You can still shower every day if it makes you feel better, just use a showercap.
6. Hang a towel over the shower and after you wash your hair, towel dry it as much as possible before putting the conditioner in. Don't put conditioner on your roots. This will prevent it from looking greasy too quickly and you can go longer between washes.
At home tip for thicker hair
*If you add a teaspoon or two of baking powder to your conditioner you will see instant results. After shampooing as normal, mix in a separate container the conditioner and baking powder. Apply this mixture and leave on 2-5 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Diet also plays a role in keeping the hair from thinning. There are certain foods that supply nutrients that are good for getting a healthy head of hair. A diet rich in
*Sulfur: vegetables, legumes, nuts, meats and fish,
*B Vitamins: poultry, meat, eggs.
*Protein: yogurt, liver, brewer's yeast, fish, eggs, beans, tofu and cottage cheese.
*Essential Fatty Acids: canola oil, walnuts, soy and fish.
*Iron: raisins, liver, dark leafy vegetables, eggs, whole grain cereals, and dates.
*min E: avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil.
Eating a healthy diet rich in these foods that provide nourishment to the body will also help thicken the hair.
