Chamomile tea makes great hair treatment
The pursuit of prime health is not over until evidence can be seen on the outside. Hair, skin, face, nails, and feet all have to reflect how you feel on the inside. Translation: you really do need to look healthy. Unfortunately, as far as hair care goes gyms do not make sufficient provisions! Here are some easy, inexpensive ingredients that may help in your hair care adventures. The best part is they may already be in your kitchen:
Rinse hair with Chamomile tea (two capsules make one cup) to warm tones in blond and light brown hair.
To brighten red hair, rinse with red hibiscus tea.
Create red highlights on brown hair with cinnamon and add warmth with sage and rosemary tea: Add 1 tsp ground cinnamon to 1 cup each of sage and rosemary tea. Let cool, wash hair. You can follow up with a lukewarm water rinse.
Add gloss and sheen to curly hair by applying
½ cup warm olive oil + 10 drops Lavender essential oil to hair.
Before washing out oil with herbal shampoo, do the warm snugly wrap treatment. Here’s how…
Restore natural sheen to wavy hair with this blend:
½ ripe banana + ½ avocado + 1 tsp plain yoghurt + 1 tsp olive oil. Mash and blend together and apply on hair. Before rinsing, do the warm snugly wrap treatment. Here’s how…
Treat straight hair to this oil reducing astringent rinse:
2 to 3 drops Peppermint oil + 10 drops Tea Tree oil + 4 cups warm water. Caution: very pungent aroma. It should not be put on any sensitive body part.
Witch hazel is also good for removing excess oil in hair. Add 1 part witch hazel to 1o parts water. Dab scalp with mixture using a cotton ball after shampooing. Rinsing out is not necessary.
Remove styling gel and hair spray build up, and chlorine with baking soda: wash hair with ¼ cup baking soda + 2 cups warm water.
2 Tsp flaxseeds soaked in 1 cup boiled water for about 25 minutes makes styling gel substitute.
Boost hair wash by adding these to 1 cup of baby shampoo or herbal shampoo:
1 egg or 2 Tbsp olive oil or 2 Tbsp almond oil- for dry hair.
2 Tbsp Aloe Vera gel or lemon juice- for oily hair.
¼ cup beer or champagne- for normal hair, beer gives hair a shine by sticking to hair’s surface.
Peppermint: an excellent antifungal for scalp
Mayonnaise, honey, or coconut oil can all act as deep moisturizers. Boost treatment with anyone of these ingredients with the warm snugly wrap treatment.
Fight itchy scalp with natural antifungal, thyme: steep 2 tsp of fresh or dried organic thyme covered in a cup of hot water for 20 minutes. Sift out herb and wash hair with tea. Other herbal supplements effective in this area include Aloe Vera gel, essential oils of Peppermint, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus and ancient Chinese secret oil blend, Tei Fu.
Dandruff rinse:
Mix 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar + 4 cups lukewarm water, and rinse hair. Apple cider vinegar is alkaline based and so helps balance hair’s natural pH to fight off dandruff. Add 3 drops Tea Tree oil to 2 cups water and use the mixture for a warm snugly wrap also.
Zinc is another effective dandruff controller. It slows down dandruff regeneration on the scalp. Jojoba oil (pronounced ho-ho-ba) is yet another effective dandruff control remedy. A few drops lightly massaged into hair and scalp after shampooing helps cleanse and moisturize the scalp. Rinsing hair with sage tea also fights dandruff.
Hair lice? Try this: work a few drops of Tea Tree oil into hair and scalp, cover with a shower cap overnight to suffocate lice. Your spouse may have to sleep on the couch on this one! Also, essential oils of Lavender, Eucalyptus, and the ancient Chinese secret blend, Tei Fu will each do the trick.
Prevention: Load up on garlic for a short period. Your blood becomes toxic to lice. They can’t feed on your blood; they bailout from your abode! Garlic oil may be taken orally or worked on hair overnight if you and your family can deal.
All blood-feeding organism hate garlic. Every last one of them: lice, ticks, fleas, leaches, mosquitoes, and even vampires can’t stand garlic! Offer it to your guests during Halloween just in case! The antioxidant germanium in garlic oil gives them a run for their…you get the idea! Black walnut is also effective for fighting parasites, and improving skin appearance.
Garlic: nature's antibiotic
However, after they die the eggs they laid may hatch and infestation may reoccur. Then you may want to try a different approach like a 10-day cleanse with an herbal parasite cleanse in the likes of Para-cleanse or Artemesia Combination.
There you have it: everything you need to have beautiful and powerful locks. How you style it…you decide. Whether you wear it long or short, wavy or curly we have no say, just remember this: it is not enough to survive…you must thrive!!!
