To let your hair look its best you don’t have to go to your local drug store or any other place for that matter, all you have to do is look in your kitchen for the BEST conditioners to help moisturize and revitalize your hair…There are four different masks for each different hair type that you can easily make in minutes using ingredients you probably already have in your refrigerator or cupboard….
• Dry Hair: What you need:
1. 3 tablespoons (TBSP) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2. 2 eggs
Directions: Combine the extra virgin olive oil and eggs and apply the mixture to your hair and let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing in the shower.
The olive oil will help hydrate brittle locks, while the protein in the eggs will help promote healthy hair growth.
• All Hair Types: What you need:
1. 1 ripened Avocado
2. 1 TBSP Organic Honey
Directions: Mask the avocado and mix in the organic honey and allow it to sit for 20 minutes before rinsing it off in the shower.
Avocados are rich in a variety of vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin E and protein, both of which your hair needs to remain soft and healthy. Meanwhile, honey is a natural antibacterial agent.
• Oily Hair: What you need:
1. ¼ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2. 1 grated peel of an entire lemon
Directions: Combine the apple cider vinegar with the grated lemon peel and allow it to set for 15 minutes to absorb the excess oil from your scalp, and then rinse in the shower.
Apple cider vinegar will remove build up from styling products and conditioners and strengthen the hair shaft, leaving you with soft, shiny strands. It will also balance hair’s pH level, kill bacteria, and is a cure for dandruff.
• Dry, Flaky Scalp Hair: What you need:
1. ½ ripe Banana
2. 2 TBSP Honey
3. Few Drops of Almond Oil
Directions: Mash together ½ of a ripe banana and add the honey and the almond oil and allow it to set with a shower cap on for 20 minutes before rinsing.
Bananas can increase the moisture of your hair, smooth frizz and soothe your itchy scalp.
The 10 worst things you can do to your hair:
1.
Using old styling tools: Be sure to clean out the hair left behind in your hair brush cause that can become a breeding ground for germs and old residue, which of course no one wants in their hair. Also, once a month, clean your hair brush with a little baking soda and water, dissolving well, soaking for a couple of minutes, and rinsing thoroughly. The baking soda will remove the oils and products that can get stuck in the bristles.
2. Using rough elastic: The scrunchie could be making a comeback like if it were 1995 again. The best type of elastic to use in your hair is something covered in fabric….a dense, thin hair tie can irritate your hair strands causing breakage if pulled too tight. If you just want to get your hair out of your face, try to gently pull it back using bobby pins or claws. “Anything too tight is damaging, so always think loosely.”
3. 
Using too many chemicals: Too many artificial chemicals are back for any part of your body, so why would you do it to your hair? Too much coloring, keratin treatment, and relaxing can cause breakage and damage. Make sure you keep the number of chemical processes to a minimum. When you are at the salon, ALWAYS tell your stylist about any prior treatments you have used, even if they did not work, the damage could still be there.
4. 
Setting the heat too high: Too much heat strips the hair of its natural moisture which causes your cuticles to dry and snap off, leading to some thirsty-looking strands. That’s why we’re told not to turn the heat all the way up on out styling tools, but how do you know how hot is too hot? For the blow dryer do not turn the dial above “medium”. The best way to test it is by testing on your skin to see how it feels and if it’s comfortable then you have found a good setting. If you have seriously stubborn hair and need to use extra heat, always make sure you are using a heat protectant. Also, be sure to remember, the less heat the better, so try to style your hair when it’s as dry as possible…don’t blow dry when it’s dripping wet, instead wait until it’s damp.
5. Skipping heat protectant: “Heat protectant spray is important to prevent damage to the hair shaft. It will help the shaft maintain moisture and prevent excess breakage by coating and moisturizing your strands. A good one to try is “Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray for $7.59 at: http://www.amazon.com/TRESemme-Thermal-Creations-Tamer-Protective/dp/B000H88QOM?tag=rbk_autolinks-20
Sprits it on damp or dry hair from around 6 inches away from before you begin heat styling with a blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron. Make sure it coats each section that is going to be exposed to heat, but not so much that your hair is sopping wet again. A light spray will do the trick.
6. 
Going too long between haircuts: While picking at split ends might be a great procrastinating tool, it’s also a wake-up call that you’re due for a trim. Over time, split ends tend to divide into even bigger splits, causing your hair to thin and weaken. Tip: To keep your hair looking healthy, and whole, try cutting ½ inch off your ends every month, or every other month if you’re trying to grow your hair long. Dead ends don’t add to your length anyway, so trimming them gives your hair a chance to reboot.
7. Brushing from the roots down: Brushing your locks from top to bottom can cause snags and breakage. To go about it in a more gentle way, divide your hair into 3-4 inch sections and smooth from the bottom up. To do this, grab your hair a few inches from the bottom, and brush down from where your hand is. Move your hand up a few inches and repeat the process until you get to the roots. Sounds like a long process, but you will get faster at it once you get used to doing it. This way, there isn’t one long stroke from the top to the bottom, but little baby strokes are way more gentle.
8. Handling wet hair roughly: When hair is wet the cuticles scales can lift, making moist strands more delicate and more susceptible to breakage and split ends that dry hair. Make sure you always smooth damp hair with a wide-tooth comb, like Sephora Collection Wide Tooth Comb for $3. Using a brush or narrow-tooth comb can be too rough because it pulls too harshly causing snaps and breakage. The same goes for towel-drying, which can lead to ripping or breaking the strands if you rub too hard.
9. Slathering on too many products: The last thing you want to do to you hair is cause build-up and strip it of its natural oils. If you have fine hair, your locks will end up weighed down, creating the opposite effect of what you are trying to achieve. On natural hair, too many products can create dry strands by over-coating the cuticle and preventing moisturizing serums from getting to the center. And while thicker hair takes to products a bit better, start with less product than your think you need, building up if that amount isn’t doing the trick. Every woman needs a heat protectant, dry shampoo for greasy days, and shine serum for frizzy days. If you want to use additional products or are unsure if you are putting too much in, try applying products to wet hands to thin them out a little…you can always add more.
10. 
Keeping the same shampoo for changing: Most seem to think that they need to routinely switch their shampoo in order to keep locks from building up a tolerance to the product, but that isn’t true. Changing your shampoo when hair circumstances change, for example, if color or highlights have been added. Also, many women tend to experience some type of hair loss during pregnancy. When this happens, try switching to a shampoo and conditioner for thinning hair like Nioxin ($13.20 at
