Summer is truly a tough time for our hair - it can easily become frizzy, dehydrated, and weathered by the sun and dry wind. Today, I will share with you my secrets of summer hair care: right diet and all-natural homemade masks, which will help you improve appearance of hair and make it look sexy, shiny, thick, and fabulous!
Hair Diet:
• As hair is made of protein, your diet should include plenty of natural meat, fish, and dairy products.
• Decreasing the amount of carbs (especially wheat and other gluten-containing grains) will improve scalp disorders, like seborrhea or dandruff.
• Liberal amounts of organic butter and coconut oil in your diet will provide essential lubrication and moisture to the hair.
Natural hair beauty masks:
Homemade masks, whipped up with just a few simple and easy to find herbs, oils, and other natural ingredients, will nourish, strengthen, and rejuvenate your hair. Make hair masks your weekly routine. Apply them freshly-made, massage into the scalp, let stay for 30-40 minutes, and then rinse with warm camomile water and mild shampoo.
• Ayurvedic mask
made of equal amounts of freshly-squeezed lemon juice and olive oil, will greatly improve dry hair and give it instant shine.
• Russian mask
made of yogurt or buttermilk, will prevent dandruff, strengthen the roots, and give your hair wonderful shine and softness.
• Mediterranean mask
made of egg yolks mixed with liquid honey, will deep condition your hair, stimulate the roots, and sooth the scalp.
• Cleopatra’s mask
made of white clay or red mud, is extremely effective against weak and dull hair.
• Philippine mask
made of extra-virgin coconut oil mixed with palm wine (or cognac) is helpful against split hair.
Take a good care of your hair with these gorgeous, all-natural remedies, and even in the driest summer days **your hair will look brilliant and silky soft ** - as a wonderful expression of your beauty and individuality!
