After all the product I put in my hair last weekend for dance recital I thought these homemade hair treatments I saw on BHG.com would be a good idea - figured it couldn't hurt! I'm going to do these 2 (getting rid of residue and strenthening/repair), there are others on their site if you want more hair "recipes".
The key to more lustrous locks? Get rid of the residue your styling products leave behind. Blogger Cara Brook of Maskcarahas a simple, two-ingredient remedy to banish the buildup.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup baking soda
- 4 Tbsp water
Directions: Mix together until it forms a paste. Massage into hair from the ends to roots. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then wash as usual.
Got hair damage? Grab a banana. On her blog, beauty expert Michelle Phan says the fruit is rich in potassium, which strengthens and repairs hair. It's especially good for fine hair, since this mask won't weigh it down like a rich conditioner does.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 Tbsp honey (optional)
Directions:
Blend the banana and honey in a blender until smooth. Apply the mix to dry hair and cover with a shower cap. Let sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse, then shampoo and condition as usual.
