Shiny hair is essential for a healthy and polished look. Yet, when it comes to your health and beauty your hair can sometimes seem like an afterthought. And, before you know it, you’re left with frizzy, dry and damaged hair. Here are three great treatments that will help you refresh your hair – and the best part is the fact that you can do them right in the comfort of your own home! No need to visit a hair salon.

Argan Oil Treatment

I love this Argan oil treatment. It makes my hair so soft and silky. If you did not know, Argan oil is high in antioxidants and vitamins A and D. For that reason, this treatment prevents breakage and gives you healthy, smooth and moisturized hair. The antioxidants slow down the negative effects that breakage and damage can have. Argan oil hair treatment repairs moisturize and nourish all types of hair using its powerful antioxidants and minerals. It is recommended to do this treatment once a week.

Ingredients

1 dime-sized drop of argan oil.

Directions

Wet hair. Put the drop of oil into your hand and apply to your hair, starting on the underside of your scalp. Comb through hair to distribute. Style hair as you normally would, with or without a hair dryer.

Brown Sugar Scrub

Brown sugar is a natural exfoliant with no chemical preservatives. It removes product build-up, dead skin cells and other pore-clogging impurities.

Avocado oil is high in antioxidants, vitamins A, D and E, and amino acids. The antioxidants help fight against damage, and the amino acids help strengthen and fortify hair. Also, the oil acts as a humectant, which helps keep hair moisturized.

Ingredients 

1 part avocado oil

2 parts brown sugar

Directions

Wet hair and apply combined ingredients to scalp (not ends) of hair for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Shampoo and condition as you would normally. This treatment can be done once a week.

My Mama’s olive oil & egg hair treatment

This combination of eggs and olive oil is a healthy, inexpensive, homemade hair treatment recipe. Eggs are natural moisturizers, because they are a rich source of vitamins A, E and D and fatty acids. Vitamin A, E and D contribute to hair growth, prevent the development of split ends and enhance silkiness to the hair. While olive oil is used for ensuring continuous blood circulation in the scalp. Heated lukewarm olive oil exfoliates hair. It helps to maintain hair color and texture. Olive oil is used as massage treatment for dry scalps.
 Therefore, a mixture of egg and olive oil prevents hair from drying out and becoming brittle.

Ingredients

2 egg yolks

4 tbs. olive oil

2 tbs. lemon

Directions

Mix all the above ingredients and massage well into your hair and scalp, wrap your head in a hot towel and let it stay for 30 minutes. Then rinse off and shampoo as usual. You can also leave the oil in overnight and cover with a plastic shower cap to protect your pillow while you sleep. Shampoo out the olive oil in the morning.  

Apply these hair treatments at least once a week and get the hair you have always wanted, namely healthy shinny, and beautiful. Enjoy!
