Healthy Hair - Naturally Beautiful

For beautiful, naturally healthy hair, look no farther than your kitchen.  In my kitchen, I usually have avocado, mayonnaise, lemons or limes, bananas, yogurt, extra virgin olive oil – sometimes eggs and honey.  Every single one of those items are not only healthy for your insides, but they are also fabulous for giving your hair that extra boost that will make it look gorgeous!

Banana avocado mask

For beautiful locks like those in the picture, don’t eat this!  (Well, that does help!)  Slather your hair in this rich mask to bring back its luster.

A word about bananas in your hair – Bananas add richness and luster, but you have to (I repeat, absolutely have to) blend and puree them before you put them in – otherwise, there will be little bits and pieces of bananas left in your hair – trust me, I’ve had that happen!

Ingredients

• 1 medium banana
• 1 egg
• 1/2 avocado
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 3 Tbsp yogurt
• 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Blend banana, egg and avocado in blender.
2. Add remaining ingredients and blend until well combined.
3. Apply to hair from roots to tips.
4. Leave in for 30 minutes and then wash out with a moisturizing shampoo.
5. Double the recipe for long hair.
6. Use twice a month to maintain healthy hair.

Healthy hair rinses -

To give your hair a great shine and help remove soap build up, instead of reaching for that extra expensive hair product, use these common household ingredients.
If you are a blonde, add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to your rinse water.   For brunettes and redheads, apple cider vinegar in your rinse water.  For everyone, stir 1 tsp. of honey into 4 C. (1 quart) warm water. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as normal.
