Beautify Your Hair from Your Kitchen

I love to try out and make my own beauty products from whatever I can find in the kitchen because I believe it is safer, cheap most importantly, it is less or zero chemicals on my skin :) 

Here's one fine and in my opinion, very interesting tips to beautify your hair i retrieved from tanamera fb page. 

Natural Hair Care: Beautiful Results sans Chemicals 

Oh, we all want it – beautiful, shiny, lustrous hair. And it’s surprisingly simply to achieve. All you need are a few (three, at most) simple ingredients from your kitchen. Apply any of

 these natural deep-conditioning treatments once a week and you’ll spend less time styling your hair in the morning because hey, it looks good already!

A simple hair conditioner 

(1) Warm up some olive or coconut oil (but don’t let it boil) and massage a liberal amount onto your hair. 

Because your hair will absorb the oil much better if you keep your hair warm, wear a plastic shower cap or wrap your head with a towel soaked in warm water. Better still, apply the warm oil to your hair right before you step into the steam room at the gym or spa. The heat will open up your hair cuticles so it can absorb all the good stuff. Leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes before washing with your regular shampoo. No olive or coconut oil? Try massaging in some small chunks of butter (yes, butter) or applying some mayonnaise instead. Weird, but it works. 

If you’ve got a bit more time..

(2) Plain yogurt is also a great hair conditioner. 

You can purchase plain yogurt at a grocery store but they’re usually sold in large tubs so we prefer to just buy a small packet of tairu from our favourite nasi daun pisang shop for around RM1. 

(3) If you have oily hair, mix a cup of yogurt together with a few drops of lime juice and one egg white 

to make a deep-conditioning paste that won’t overweigh your hair. But you’ll need a bit more than that if your hair is dry – mix together a cup of yogurt, a tablespoon of olive oil and one egg yolk. Remember, some heat makes your hair absorb more of the yogurt’s moisturizing properties so wrap your head in a warm towel or wear a shower cap and leave the paste on overnight.

If you’re feeling gung-ho.....

Do it how our great-grandmothers used to. 

(4) Scoop out the seeds of a papaya 

and leave them out in the sun to dry. In a pan, fry the papaya seeds without any oil and at low heat until they’re crisp. Using a pestle and mortar or a food processor, crush the seeds until they’re fine and sift to remove any big pieces. Mix with some coconut oil and apply to your hair, leaving it overnight before washing it out the next day with your regular shampoo. This old wives’ recipe will not only make your hair looks gorgeously beautiful, it’ll also reduce dandruff and prevent split ends.

So ladies, save up your money and try out these tips this weekend and give me your feedback ok.

Have a great weekend darlings ;)
