Back-To-Natural Hair Treatments

Clean, pure, and natural are a few of the main words that we see in many of our cosmetic and hair products today. For companies that mass produce, creating all natural products is an impossible task. To many unnatural ingredients must be used to expand a product shelf life, but as consumers we still want it. So I'm going to share some of my favorite recipes for healthy hair. I'm making this one of my first post because its harder to manage unhealthy hair. The better the condition your hair is in,  the more manageable it will be.



Honey and Vinegar Rinse (especially great for curly hair)

Ingredients

• 2 cups of cider vinegar (herb infused or plain)
• 5 to 10 drops of essential oil - Lavender is best because it's the least irritating
• 2 tbs of Honey
• An empty glass bottle

 Directions

Mix vinegar and essential oils. This mixture should be stored in a glass bottle since the essential oils may react with plastic.  When ready to use: dilute 1/2 tablespoon of the vinegar/essential oil mixture in 1cup of water. Rinse through wet hair after shampooing. Rinse it out with fresh water or, for extra conditioning benefits, just leave it in and towel dry hair. A left over shampoo bottle can be used too but you'll have to add a cup of your favorite brewed tea instead of using the essential oils. The benefits of this treatment is that it locks in moisture, and repairs your hair cuticles. This treatment can be used up to once a week.
