Kitchen Beautician: Hair Strengthener

It’s the weekend and once again it is time to pamper yourself! When you brush your hair, do you seem to lose a lot of hair? Well if you do, I have the perfect hair strengthening mask for you. My grandmother has tried this treatment and loves it. She has been a hair stylist for over 40 years, so when it comes to homemade hair treatments, I trust her opinion. Now let’s strengthen that beautiful hair so none of it falls out.

 

You will need:

2 tbsp. dry mustard

2 tbsp. sugar

One egg yolk

2 tbsp. olive oil

2 tbsp. warm water

 

Instructions:

 

In a bowl combine the mustard, sugar, egg yolk, olive oil, and warm water. Thoroughly mix together all of the ingredients. Then, apply the mixture to the roots of your hair. Put on a shower cap and wrap in a towel. Leave the hair mask on for about 30 minutes. After the time is up, shampoo and condition. Do this hair mask every two weeks or so to get the best results.

 

NOTE: If you feel a bit of a burning sensation the first time you try this hair strengthening mask, reduce the amount of sugar you use the next time you do it.

Kitchen Beautician: Shiny Smooth Hair

FINALLY, it’s Friday and it’s the weekend. Maybe you have some free time and have nothing to do. So what is better than spending it pampering yourself? Nothing!

 

Do you feel like your hair is dull and not smooth? Well I have just the home remedy for you! My mom has tried this treatment and  LOVES it. She has been raving about it for so long now. So let’s get that dull hair shiny and smooth again with this honey and olive oil hair mask.

 

You will need:

 

½ cup of Honey 

½ cup of olive oil

 

Instructions:

 

Depending on your hair length, the amount of honey and olive oil you will need may vary. Therefore, adjust the amount for your hair length so the mixture covers all of your hair. For long hair, about ½ cup of honey and ½ cup of olive oil should be enough to cover your hair.

 

If you don’t have a lot of time to spare, do this hair mask while you are taking a shower. Mix honey and olive oil in a small bowl and while you are in the shower, saturate your hair with the mixture. Leave the mixture in for a few minutes while you shave and do all that good stuff. You can put on a shower cap, but that is optional. After a few minutes shampoo and condition and you are done. It is that simple. Anything that simple is perfect for me!

 

If you have some extra time and are in no rush then warm up the honey and mix in with the olive oil. Apply and saturate the honey and olive oil mixture into your hair. You can put on a shower cap if you wish. Leave the mask on for about an hour or longer. The longer it stays on your hair, the better the end result. After the time is up, shampoo and condition. Your hair should look flawless, shiny, and smooth. Now all you need is somewhere to go to show off your gorgeous hair.
