DO-IT-YOURSELF CHOLESTEROL TREATMENT

Would you believe that most commercially bought cholesterol hair conditioners
contain alcohol the very thing that dries out hair? Instead, grab a cup full of
mayonnaise, some plastic food wrap and throw a couple of towels in the drier on
high.
Work the mayonnaise into your hair, starting by massaging it into the scalp and
roots. Then draw it through to your ends until your hair is thoroughly coated. Pile
the hair on top of your head. Take a couple of feet of saran wrap and wrap it around
the top of your head to contain the mayo.
Take a pre-heated towel from the dryer and wrap it around your head over the saran
wrap. The heat will aid with deep conditioning. After about 10 minutes, change to
another heated towel and leave that on for another 10 minutes.
Remove the towel and plastic wrap and shampoo your hair as usual. Done once a
month, this cholesterol treatment will keep your hair soft and shiny.
* Tip: if your hair ends are very damaged from chemical treatment, you can do this
once a week. If your scalp is naturally oily, you might want to only add mayo to the
hair ends for weekly treatments.
Remedies for dandruf
Fenugreek Seeds: The use of fenugreek seeds is one of the most important
remedies in the treatment of dandruf. Two tablespoons of these seeds should be
soaked overnight in water and ground into a fine paste in the morning. This paste
should be applied all over the scalp and left for half an hour. The hair should then be
washed thoroughly with soap- nut (ritha) solution or shikakai.
Lime: The use of a teaspoon of fresh lime juice for the last rinse, while washing the
hair, is another useful remedy. This not only leaves the hair glowing but also
removes stickiness and prevents dandruf.
Green Gram Powder: A valuable prescription for removal of dandruf is the use of
green grain powder. The hair should be washed twice a week with two tablespoons
of this powder mixed with half a cup of curd.
Beet: Beets have been found useful in dandruf. Both tops and roots should be
boiled in water and this water should be massaged into the scalp with the finger tips
every night White beet is better for this purpose.
Other Remedies: Dandruf can be removed by massaging the hair for half an hour
with curd which has been kept in the open for three days, or with a few drops of
lime juice mixed with amla juice every night, before going to bed. Another measure
which helps to counteract dandruf is to dilute cider vinegar with an equal quantity
of water and dab this on to the hair with cotton wool in between shampooing. Cider
vinegar added to the final rinsing water after shampooing also helps to disperse
dandruf.

SHINE SEEKERS
(15) A cold- water rinse is also a great way to boost the shine of your locks. The cold
water closes & smoothens the cuticle, making hair appear shiner.
(16) For shine, stylists suggest rinsing with apple cider vinegar once a week, after
shampooing.
(17) Want your hair to shine with natural color? Try this. Add a few teaspoons of
fresh beetroot juice to your final rinse, for rich, red highlights.
(18) For extra shine & bounce, apply gram flour mixed with rice water & wash after
a few minutes.
DANDRUFF DILEMMA
(19) Trying to battle dandruf? Look for a high quality shampoo containing
ingredients such as tea tree oil, salicylic acid, sulfur. Use on alternate days.
(20) If your dandruf flakes refuse to go away, try this - massage one tablespoon of
common salt into your damp scalp before your shampoo. The salt works as a good
exfoliate. (21) Another cure for the dandruf - dissolve 30 tablets of aspirin into a full
bottle of shampoo. Wash hair as usual.
MISCELLANEOUS MANTRAS
(22) Never use your fingernails to massage in the shampoo- you could scratch your
scalp.
(23) Always rinse your hair thoroughly after applying shampoo or conditioner. Any
residue will leave your hair lack shine.

(24) Are you a water babe? Get all the chlorine out of your tresses by adding a little
baking soda to your shampoo.
(25) Prevent static electricity in your hair by using a rinse- out conditioner that adds
moisture. Alternatively, you can use a leave- in conditioner after towel drying hair.
(26) From time to time, add two tablets of Vitamin E to your shampoo for a power
boost.
(27) Pick shampoo that give benefit to your type of hair. Apply shampoo from root to
tip - gently work down the hair. Don't pile up hair while lathering! Rinse thoroughly
under running water.
(28) Choose conditioner that works with your shampoo Always condition after
shampooing. Apply conditioner from tip to root. Comb your hair while condition
through hair to ensure distribution and penetration. Use as much conditioner as
your hair can absorb.
(29) Understand your hair type. Being understand your type of hair, such as, oily,
dry, natural, curly, straight, kinky or what ever, you can correctly treat your hair
with product that is useful to your type of hair.
(30) Dry your hair gently. Do not rub your hair especially if it is very long. Take time
to dry it slowly with a gently patting or wringing action. Don't overdrying your hair.
(31) Save money and give yourself a break from the chemicals found in most hair
care products by using the following natural home remedies for your hair.
(32) Sodium lauryl sulfate a high volume synthetic chemical used in consumer
products and regulated as a pesticide. A suspected gastrointestinal or liver toxicant,
sodium lauryl sulfate can be drying and harsh for the hair and cause eye irritation,
allergic reactions, and hair loss. According to the National Toxicology Program, it has
shown moderate reproductive efects in experiments. It has not been tested for
neurotoxicity. Sodium lauryl sulfate is not a recognized carcinogen. However, the
chemical is frequently combined with TEA (triethanolamine), DEA (diethanolamine),
or MEA (monnoethanolamine), which can cause the formation of the carcinogenic
substances nitrosames. To be on the safe side, add antioxidant vitamins A and C to
any product that contains TEA, DEA, or MEA.
The addition of antioxidants will help protect against nitrosamine contamination. For
each 8 ounces of shampoo, add 1 teaspoon of vitamin C powder, and 1/4 teaspoon
of vitamin A powder.
(33) Tame your frizzy hair by rubbing coconut oil into your hands and applying
sparingly onto your hair. You don't want to overdo it - too much will make your hair
look greasy. Shampooing your hair less frequently also helps with the frizzies.
Excess shampooing strips natural oils from the hair. Detergents are drying to the
hair, yet the drawback of using soap instead is for those who don't like to wash their
hair every couple of days: without drying detergents, the scalp's natural oils are
more present.

(34) Rinse your hair with baking soda to get rid of shampoo build-up and styling
residues.
(35) Rinse your hair with baking soda and water to rid your hair of shampoo build-up
and styling residues. Rinsing your hair with
one juiced lemon and one cup of water is said to bring life and shine back to dull
hair. Apple cider vinegar mixed with water will give your hair shine and bounce.
(36) When you wash your hair, take more time washing your scalp than the ends of
your hair. Hair ends don't get all that dirty (unless youve got large doses of styling
products layered over them), but the scalp can get oily and accumulate dead skin
cells that need to come of. In addition, the scalp can almost always benefit from a
massage, which will increase healthy circulation and help the hair that's developing
in the follicles.
37) The longer you leave a dandruf shampoo on your hair, the more efective it will
be.
38) When in doubt, use products designed for your hair type. Unless you have truly
normal hair, undesignated products are not for everyone. There is no such thing as
the perfect hair-care product for any hair type. Someone with coarse, dry hair has
very diferent needs from someone with thin, healthy hair.
39) Every now and then, take your brush and comb into the shower with you and
give them a good shampooing. Styling products, conditioners, and your own oil can
cling to brushes and combs, transferring some of the grime back to your clean hair.
Remove the excess hair and go for it. For a more thorough cleansing, or if you have
dandruf, soak them in a solution of diluted bleach; about three tablespoons to a
quart of water should be enough to kill whatever may be lurking around or between
the bristles.
40) Shiny Hair To get your hair looking shiny add 1 tablespoon of pink grapefruit
juice to your bottle of shampoo. The grapefruit juice will break down the shampoo
build up that can leave hair looking dull.
How to give yourself a good shampoo:
1. Give yourself a massaging brush once a week .
2. Shampooing in the shower is better than trying to shampoo in the bath because
you can get a good rinse, which is very important. Use a gentle stream of warm
water to wet your hair.
3. Apply the shampoo a bit at a time, all over your scalp, using gentle rubs.
4. Once the scalp has been covered, massage the scalp.
5. Bring the shampoo out to the ends of your hair using your fingers, but dont rub
the ends. The ends dont really need cleansing.
6. Thoroughly rinse with a gentle stream of warm water until the shafts squeak.

7. Thoroughly rinse with a gentle stream of warm water until the shafts squeak.

are as easy as 1, 2, 3. Treating dry hair damage is basically done by using natural
ingredients for a deep-conditioning treatment.
Simple Solution
1. A natural conditioner can ofer an alternative cure for repairing dry hair.
2. Simmer together one cup of milk, one cup of water, and dried rose petals.
3. Allow mixture to cool and pour into a blender.
4. Add a ripe avocado and two teaspoons each of honey and almond paste or
almond oil without alcohol.
5. Blend ingredients together.
6. Massage "conditioner" into locks section by section, wrap hair in plastic, and rinse
after 30 minutes.
I just had to post this. Before LHC, I used to spend $$$ on salon deep treatments
which could never quite tame my frizzies or make my hair soft. However, this recipe
worked for me! Its great for all you 'C' types.

1 heaping tablespoon shea butter 2 teaspoons EVOO

2 heaping tablespoons Redken butter treat
Heat shea butter until melted. add the EVOO and butter treat. mix well. Apply to wet
hair. Sit under a heat cap for up to an hour. Wash hair as usual. Since I am so prone
to dryness, I couldnt do it twice, clarified with ACV, then put more butter treat on
length, then rinsed after a minute.
ROSEMARY HONEY OLIVE OIL HAIR CONDITIONER
This nourishing conditioner blends two ingredients from nature -- honey for shine
and olive oil for moisture -- and is enhanced with essential oil of rosemary to
stimulate hair growth.
1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup warmed olive oil (2 tablespoons for normal to oily hair)
4 drops essential oil of rosemary 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum (available in
health food stores)
Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour into a clean plastic
bottle with a snug-fitting cap.
To use, apply a small amount to your slightly dampened hair. Massage your scalp
and work the conditioner through your hair until it is completely and evenly
distributed. Next, cover your hair with a warm towel (your microwave or dryer can
heat it up) or shower cap; leave the conditioner in place on to nourish and condition
for 30 minutes. Remove the towel or shower cap; shampoo lightly and rinse with
cool water. Dry as normal and enjoy shinier, softer and healthier hair the natural
way.
