Try some of these natural hair care products, and enjoy the fresh smells of fruit and other good things.
Hair products cost a lot, and we are always tempted by new, laboratory-tested brands in new bottles. A lot of them are very good, but they are expensive and they often smell of chemicals. Try some of these natural hair products and enjoy the fresh smells of fruit and other good things.
TO GIVE YOUR HAIR BODY AND SHINE
Beat an egg and massage it into freshly washed hair. After five minutes, rinse it out with cool water. Do not use hot water or you will have scrambled egg in your hair. Then you’ll spend all morning washing it out.
Mayonnaise is excellent for conditioning hair. Massage it through, and preferably keep it in overnight (put your hair in a plastic bag or something, to avoid getting mayonnaise all over the pillows). Again, rinse out carefully in cool water. If you use hot, the mayonnaise will set in your hair and will be very difficult to get out.
Beer also gives a lovely shine to hair. Rinse your hair in beer in the shower, then rinse out with water. Use a beer that does not smell too strongly, or you will give people the wrong impression at work. Shampoos based on beers used to be popular though they do not seem to be around at the moment. They never smelled of beer.
OILY HAIR
Opinion is divided about how often to wash oily hair. Some people swear by washing it every day. Others claim that this merely encourages more oil production, thus exacerbating the problem. Whenever you wash your hair, try a tablespoon of cider vinegar to the final rinse to help cut down on the grease.
DRY HAIR
You have to be very careful not to overwash dry hair. It’s very easy to strip away the natural oils if you wash it too frequently.
Olive oil can be a wonderful conditioner for dry hair. Warm up half a cup, or more if your hair is very long. Massage it through the hair, especially the ends and middle bits - these are always drier than the hair near your scalp. Wrap your hair in plastic, and then in a warm towel, and leave for 30 minutes. This enables to oil to penetrate the hair shaft. (Read a good book while you are waiting, have a cup of tea, watch television - you are getting back in the shower afterwards so don’t try to do too much). Wash out carefully, using a gentle shampoo suited for dry hair.
BLONDE HAIR
Blonde hair can look dull and lifeless, regardless of whether it is straight or curly, dry or oily or normal. Lemon juice is a great brightener of blonde hair. Two or three lemons, squeezed into a liter of warm water, makes a great rinse for clean dry hair. Pour it slowly over your hair, working it into all of your hair from roots to tips with your fingers. After ten minutes, rinse thoroughly with warm water. This adds shine and a lovely smell and brightens the blondeness.
Another brightener for blonde hair uses six chamomile tea bags, steeped in a cup of boiling water for 20 minutes. Add half a cup of plain yogurt to the water (discard the teabags), plus five drops of lavender oil. Stir the mixture thoroughly, and when it is properly emulsified, apply the mixture to clean dry hair. Wrap hair in plastic for twenty minutes, then rinse out thoroughly in warm water and shampoo carefully.
None of these suggestions are a replacement for your favorite shampoo and conditioner, but are appealing natural products to try out on your hair when you feel like a change from chemicals.

Finding the right products for your ethnic hair can be time consuming and frustrating. But luckily, there are some good products at great prices.
As women of color, we have struggled for decades to find just the right products to make our hair healthy, shiny and beautiful. Whether you choose to wear your hair natural, pressed, relaxed, braided, in cornrows, or with extensions, keeping your hair looking and feeling its best is essential. Since there are so many different products to choose from, how do you know what’s best for your hair? Here are three of my favorite conditioners, but first let’s discuss hair types or textures.
For years we have heard the phrases “good hair” and “bad hair”. Well, there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” hair. It’s all about the texture. Generally speaking, hair that is shiny, wavy or curly and easy to comb is considered good. While hair that is dry, dull, coarse, or “nappy” is considered bad. This is not always the case. Sometimes hair can be curly and easy to comb from the roots, but can be a nightmare to detangle at the ends. Also, hair can be fine meaning thin, easily weighed down and wispy. Taking this into consideration, choose a conditioner that specifically treats your problem or fulfills your needs.
The first of my favorite conditioners is LeKair Cholesterol Plus Strengthening and Conditioning Cream. I have been using it for at least 15 years and I love how it makes my hair feel. It contains jojoba oil, aloe vera and collagen protein which can make hair softer and stronger. This is an after shampoo treatment, however, I’ve used it as a daily treatment. Simply mix one tablespoon of LeKair conditioner with 8 ounces of water. Spray lightly over entire head before styling and especially before swimming. It helps to lessen the effects of chlorine and salt water on relaxed and/or color treated hair.
My second and third favorite conditioners are Pantene Relaxed and Natural Daily Oil Cream Moisturizer and Ultra Sheen Supreme Dual Purpose Conditioning Shampoo. Pantene Relaxed and Natural Daily Oil Cream Moisturizer contains jojoba and coconut oils which help replenish hair’s natural moisture. It makes my hair shiny and soft without being too greasy. Ultra Sheen Supreme Dual Purpose Conditioning Shampoo makes my hair softer than the other two afore mentioned conditioners and it takes less product to clean my hair. With its ph balanced formula you don’t need to condition after shampooing. This is the only all-in-one shampoo/conditioner I’ve found that actually conditions my dry, color treated and relaxed hair! The only downside to this product is that I have only been able to purchase it as a part of the Ultra Sheen Relaxer kit. However, similar products can be found such as Ultra Sheen Detangling and Conditioning Shampoo or Crème of Nature Detangling and Conditioning Shampoo.
There you have it: my suggestions for some of the best conditioners for Black and/or ethnic hair. Remember that these are only a sampling. New and innovative products are being introduced everyday. Here is one quicker tip. Try mixing honey, olive oil and lemon juice for a refreshing, conditioning hair mask. Honey will give your hair shine, olive oil will give your hair moisture and lemon juice will cleanse your scalp without stripping your hair of essential oils.
Now that you are more informed about conditioners, you can head on down to your local beauty supply store or supermarket and pick up one or two or all of these great products. Soon you’ll be on the way to having the hair of your dreams.

Many people are affected by dandruff. Learn how to treat the problem effectively without spending a lot of money.
Dandruff is a widespread problem that regular impacts up to 70% of Americans. While this scalp condition is neither contagious nor debilitating, dandruff can lead to feelings of self-consciousness and emotional distress. Despite the commonness of the problems, many people are unsure of how to best treat dandruff or believe that professional help is necessary to eliminate the irritating flakes. By trying different methods, it is possible to find a treatment that is both highly effective and inexpensive.
There is still considerable debate over what exactly causes dandruff. Most agree that excessive amounts of the naturally occurring yeast Pityrosporum Ovale is directly involved in the formation of dandruff. Regardless of yeast levels, dandruff is also caused by the skin’s natural process of shedding cells as it regenerates. The old skin cells flake off to make room for new cells. Outside factors such as stress and weather conditions can lead to changes in skin condition that speed up the skin’s natural shedding process. However, many effective treatments are available to combat these problems.
Those with mild dandruff will find that regularly washing the scalp dramatically reduces the level of skin flaking. A specially formulated shampoo is also important in treating dandruff. Look for medicated shampoo’s containing the ingredient ketaconazole, which will work quickly to get problematic flakes under control. If a shampoo does not seem to be helping, switch to a different product that has a different base of ingredients. Not all remedies will work the same for everyone.
If you find that your hair is becoming dry or brittle from treatment, try using a deep conditioner to restore moisture to the ends of your hair. When washing, be sure to only apply the shampoo to the roots of the hair in order to avoid stripping your hair of moisture.
Natural treatments can also be employed to treat dandruff, although these options may take considerably longer to take effect. A mixture of coconut oil and lemon extract can be applied to problems areas to eliminate dandruff. Another good treatment is to regularly rinse the scalp with apple cider vinegar. Vinegar tends to restore the scalp to a healthier state and is effective at cleaning off environmental toxins that may be contributing to dandruff problems.
In addition to topical treatments, you should also take steps to ensure that your skin is properly nourished and supplements from the inside. A healthy diet based mostly on fruits and vegetables will keep skin healthy and fresh. Vitamins can also be used to fill any deficiancies that may occur in the diet. Be sure that you are getting the daily recommended levels of vitamins E, C, and D, as well as enough protein to allow skin to regenerate properly. It is vital to keep skin properly hydrated, so be sure to drink at least eight to ten glasses of water daily.
While dandruff is a pressing problems for many people, a multitude of effective and inexpensive treatments are available. Medicated shampoos offer the quickest and most convenient way to treat flaky scalps, but natural treatments can also be beneficial. If neither of these options is effective for you, consult a physician or dermatologist for further information on how to best treat your dandruff.

Tips and tricks to tame frizzy hair.
Curly hair can be the bane, or blessing, of your existence. It is up to you to decide. Not all of these ideas will work on all types of hair; but at least one of them will work for most people.
First, take a look at your regime for washing and conditioning your hair. Or more accurately, conditioning and washing your hair. For some people, washing their hair every other day, rather than every day, helps with the frizz because you do not strip the natural oils from your hair as often. Another thing you can do in this realm is to wash every other day, but condition every day while in the shower. If you must wash your hair every day, then try putting conditioner on the tips of your hair and anywhere else it tends to get frizzy, rinse it, then use your shampoo and conditioner. This protects the hair to an extent, and allows you to clean your scalp daily if you need to.
Choice of shampoo and conditioner are very important. Make sure you buy products applicable to your hair type, whether it be coarse and dry, thin and brittle, or oily at the scalp and dry as a bone on the ends. Most hair products’ sections at the local grocery or pharmacy offer a wide range of product choices, making it more affordable to use quality products on your hair. Choosing two different brands and mixing it up a little (alternating weeks, etc.) also helps.
Secondly, there are an increasing number of leave-in conditioners on the market. You might think that a leave-in conditioner will leave your hair greasy and flat; but this is not necessarily true. The fact is, if you are having a frizz problem, it is most likely due to lack of moisture in either sections or all of your hair. You apply these leave-in conditioners ONLY WHERE YOU NEED THEM. In other words, if the hair close to your scalp is behaving itself, there is no reason to put a leave in conditioner on it. Save the conditioner for that pesky middle section of your hair, or the dry ends. Supplying different parts of your hair with what they need will help even out the texture.
Next is the importance of a decent cut for your hair. It is a good idea to try to find a regular stylist that is accustomed to working with your type of hair (There are stylists out there who specialize in long, curly hair, for example.) and when you find one you like, stick with them. If you have thick, unruly hair, a good stylist may very well thin it out. This may be intimidating, but it’s a very effective way to gain some control of an unruly mop.
As far as styling goes, in the frizz control department, blow-drying is generally a bad idea. There are diffusers you can use on a blow dryer to help with frizz control, but honestly the easiest and most effective way to keep frizz from invading is simply—don’t blow dry your hair! More products available these days are hair “serums” that you put in your hair while its still wet, but after you have shampooed and conditioned. These can work well also. Try not to brush and comb your curly hair more than you have to in order to remove knots and tangles. Brushing whips air into your hair and contributes to frizzing.
Finally, the single most important thing you need to do is to learn to love your hair for what it is, and test out different combinations of the above listed techniques and products. Fighting with your hair on a daily basis just causes damage, which causes more frizz, and a never ending cycle of using more brutal treatments to straighten your hair, causing damage which creates more frizz, well, you get the idea. You sort of have to work out a deal with your hair, and work out a compromise between what you can live with, and what your hair can give you. My hair has never looked better since the day I tossed my hair dryer and curling iron, and learned to gently convince my hair it wanted to curl softly, without masses of frizz. That does not mean, of course, that there are no bad hair days, but they are severely reduced in frequency and I do not feel like I am preparing for battle every morning before work.
Good luck and remember having curly hair is a give and take relationship, and you should be just fine.

How to treat dry, frizzy, unmanageable hair. What to avoid and the best products for achieving that sleek look.
Everyone desires to have soft cascading and manageable hair. Some are blessed with sleek hair that simply flows and does what they want it to do. Others are blessed with spiral ringlets that shine. And even though some have dry unmanageable frizzy hair, they too can have the sleek and shiny hair they so desire.
Dry Hair is Thirsty Hair
Dry frizzy hair thirsts for moisture and needs to be quenched. Drinking plenty of water helps hydrate your entire body including your hair. Add olive oil to your diet. Known as ‘liquid gold which brings life to anything it touches’, you will be able see a difference in the elasticity of your skin as well as vibrancy in your hair. Although they may be expensive, known to work are hair products that have olive oil as its main ingredient. Celebrity journalist, Ananda Lewis, had admitted to putting a few sprinkles of olive oil into her hair whenever it felt dry.
Weekly Deep Conditioning
Dry hair can lead to hair breakage and split ends which is why a weekly deep conditioning is necessary. Deep conditioners do not have to be expensive. Look for them at your local grocery or beauty supply store. They range from creamy conditioners to hot oil treatments which are usually used following a shampoo and then left on the hair anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.
At Home Mask
At home you can make your own deep conditioning treatment with eggs and mayonnaise. Since hair is dead protein, if there is breakage it needs additional protein to help strengthen it. For shoulder length hair, mix one egg with a half cup of mayonnaise. Adjust accordingly to your hair length and depending on how much of the mask your hair absorbs. After mixing well, pour the conditioner content into your dry hair and cover it with a shower cap leaving it on for 30-45 minutes. For deeper conditioning make a cap out of aluminum foil leaving it on also for 30-45 minutes and soon you will begin to feel the mild heat of the conditioner working. After rinsing you will immediately feel the results when you run your fingers through your soft mane.
The Secret Weapon: Leave- in-Conditioners
If you have dry frizzy hair, a leave-in-conditioner has to be your best friend. Look for spray or lotion leave-in-conditioners which can be used on wet or dry hair. They can be used after a shampooing and conditioning or any time of the day you feel your hair just needs some moisture.
The key to maintaining dry frizzy hair is to continually hydrate it. Avoid washing your hair on a daily basis since shampoos can strip hair of its natural oils. Always make sure you protect your hair with some type of lotion, serum or spray before using hot appliances. Try to avoid blow dryers and instead air dry your hair and then straighten it with a flat iron on a low temperature setting for a sleek look. You can also work those frizzy kinks into smooth spiral curls. After washing and conditioning, place some curling gel or moose into your hair and scrunch your mane while blow drying with a dryer that has a diffuser attached. Or you can simply scrunch your hair and let it air dry. To get rid of the frizzy flyaways, swirl them with your finger or with a pencil as you blow dry.
What’s in your body is in your hair
Your lifestyle can have a big impact on your hair type. Do you spend a lot of time indoors or outdoors? How much sun exposure does your hair get and do you protect it from its harmful rays? What kind of foods are you eating? Do you drink a lot of water?
These are just some of the questions and things that you need to think about since you personally may be contributing to the frizziness of your own hair and may not even know it. In handling dry hair, two approaches need to betaken. From both the inside and the outside- your diet as well as the products you put on your hair effect how your hair looks and feels.
If you’re out in the sun, always wear a hat. And if you plan on swimming in a pool full of chlorine, take a minute to saturate your hair in conditioner to keep it safe from the harsh chemicals that can strip your hair not only of its color but of its softness. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water because if you feel good on the inside, your hair will show it on the outside.

Highlighting can seem like a difficult procedure, but it is actually quite easy and straightforward.
If you highlighted your hair today, you certainly wouldn’t be the first. In fact, it’s far more likely that you’re the last with un-highlighted hair, as the cosmetic trend has become more and more popular both stateside and abroad. It makes sense that we would find it attractive: highlights lend variation and depth (and even volume) to hair that perhaps has been looking a bit boring in monotone.
The question that remains, of course, is how you get started. You have the option of seeking professional help with your first highlights, which would be recommendable given the strategy required of good-looking highlights. Furthermore, there are all types of highlights, some which only occur right around your face, those that cluster at the crown, and others that split evenly across your part. A hairdresser or colorist will be far more knowledgeable than you are as to what type and color of highlights would be most appropriate for you. Seeking professional help, however, does come at a cost. Highlights themselves can drain you of anywhere from $30 (this would truly be extraordinary and is rarely found outside of basement-based businesses) to $150+.
Obviously, administering the highlights yourself would be much cheaper. You can purchase a kit (several are made by the big brands- L’Oreal, Herbal Essence, etc.) for under $10. For the actual application, it might be wise to solicit the aid of a particularly beauty-savvy friend. Nearly all the kits consist of a highlighting “cap” (this is a plastic bonnet with holes for the hair-to-be-highlighted to emerge from), a highlighting “pick” (a tool reminiscent of a knitting needle that you gingerly use to pull hair through the highlighting cap holes), the actual coloring materials, and instructions. The more “modern” highlighting kits may opt for a different means of giving you highlights, such as one offered by Feria that includes a comb rather than a pick and no cap. Keep in mind that though this type of highlighting may be considered more dramatic and cutting-edge, it also has a higher potential to smear and color the hair surrounding the highlight. Another advantage, in general, of using kits is that they will (or at least should) provide a detailed explanation on the outside of the box of what type of highlights for which that particular product has been designed. For example, some kits are touted as “subtle” and “natural,” while others describe themselves as “bold” and “adventurous.”
Highlighting is a permanent process, so whatever route you decide to take, you should spend plenty of time contemplating whether or not you truly want them. Like any other fad of the hair world, highlights (despite their enduring popularity) will eventually fall out of fashion. Also, highlights can be painfully obvious during their growing out stage. You can either pretend not to notice that you have six-inch dark roots connecting your blonde, “sun” streaks to your scalp, or you will have to get them retouched. In the case of the latter, you’re making a fairly long-term commitment that will require maintenance and attention. But, then again, for the glisten and dimension of hair that purrs Hollywood, who wouldn’t put in a little extra work?

Noticing more hair loss than ever before? Don’t despair. Many natural remedies exist to support hair growth and guarantee shiny, sleek tresses.
Straight or curly, long or short, the desire for thick, healthy and beautiful hair is shared universally. Yet for both men and women alike, one of the biggest beauty dilemmas is thinning hair. Looking for a way to volumize your hair and encourage new growth, yet not sure about chemical-heavy products? Don’t stress. Many herbal and plant based products are available to help encourage healthy hair and hair growth without chemicals or side effects.
Nurturing Naturally
Using hair care products from Mother Nature’s cupboard is an excellent way to combat the problem of thinning hair. Featuring fruit extracts, flowers, essential oils, herbs and medicinal plants, these treatments can include shampoo, conditioner, treatment serums and even styling aids or supplements. When searching for hair treatments or shampoos, check the ingredients for herbs such as rosemary and capsicum, both of which may stimulate hair growth. Lemongrass adds fullness and body to hair, while aloe vera balances the pH level of the scalp, protecting it from irritation. Dong quai, a Chinese herb that contains high levels of phytoestrogens, is meant to be very useful for women going through menopause as the estrogens support healthy hair growth.
Try it at home
Dozens of home remedies exist to treat thinning hair or hair loss. All it takes is a little time and effort to observe results. Try a few of the following home remedies for exceptionally strong and healthy hair:
• Coconut milk is nourishing and protective. Massage the milk into the roots, allow it to soak in for thirty minutes and then rinse with warm water. Repeat the process three times a week.
• Massage a small amount of almond oil onto your scalp several times a day to help prevent hair loss.
• Combine honey and egg yolk in a small bowl, then rub a small amount into the hair. Leave on for thirty minutes and then shampoo as usual.
• Try applying a tonic of apple cider vinegar and sage tea to encourage quick hair growth.
• Use jojoba oil on the scalp to fight dandruff or psoriasis. For even more benefits, add a few drops of lavender, thyme, lemon, or grapeseed to a tablespoon of the jojoba oil and then massage into the scalp.
Additionally, since many of these at-home preparations require a scalp massage, you’ll be doing your hair another favor at the same time. Much like brushing, massaging the scalp for a few minutes every day stimulates blood flow and promotes hair growth.
Diet and Healthy Hair
As you seek all-natural solutions for your hair, don’t forget that a healthy diet is a significant part of the equation. Since hair is primarily comprised of protein, consider adding protein-rich foods to your diet, including green leafy vegetables, sprouts, mango, lean beef, chicken, spinach, dried apricots, fish, whole grain cereals, wheat germ, soybean, and dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt, and buttermilk. Protein will strengthen hair and stop strands from breaking. Also, consider a supplement designed specifically to support the hair with vitamins and minerals such as: N.V. Perricone Skin And Total Body Supplements. In addition to vitamins A, C, and E, these supplements also provide minerals like iron and zinc which are necessary for healthy hair, as well as skin.
Daily Routine
Choose a gentle shampoo that features herbal ingredients such as L’Occitane Damaged Hair Shampoo, which has lavender to strengthen dry or damaged hair. Or, for fine hair, try L’Occitane Fine Hair Shampoo with petit grain, sweet orange oil, wheat germ and a vegetable complex to purify and stimulate the scalp and hair. If you have very dry hair, keep in mind that shampooing your hair more than once a day may cause dryness or breakage so limit washing to every other day at the most. Finally, avoid over exposure to hair colorants, chemical treatments or chlorine which can aggravate the scalp and cause dryness or flaking.
With so many wonderful plants, herbs and flowers available to support the hair and scalp, don’t feel resigned to only harsh chemicals or difficult treatments. Instead, investigate products that draw on the healing power of nature and your hair will shine with health and vitality!

Our hair is made of a type of protein called keratin. A single hair consists of a hair shaft (the part that shows), a root below the skin, and a follicle, from which the hair root grows. At the lower end of the follicle is the hair bulb, where the hair’s color pigment, or melanin, is produced.
Alopecia areata
This condition generally causes coin-sized bald patches on the scalp or beard. Rarely, all body hair may be lost. The hair usually grows back in several months, except in people with widespread hair loss, for whom re-growth is unlikely (or other parts of the body). Scientists are not sure what causes alopecia areata. It is probably caused by a combination of factors including genetic predisposition, predisposition to allergy, immune and autoimmune system responses, and emotional stress.
Treatment
In approximately 50% of patients, hair will regrow within a year without any treatment. The longer the period of time of hair loss, the less likelihood that the hair will regrow. A variety of treatments can be tried. Steroid injections, creams, and shampoos (such as clobetasol or fluocinonide) for the scalp have been used for many years. Other medications include minoxidil, irritants (anthralin or topical coal tar), and topical immunotherapy (cyclosporine), each of which are sometimes used in different combinations.
Telogen Effluvium
When your body goes through something traumatic like child birth, malnutrition, a severe infection, major surgery, or extreme stress, it can impact your hair. Many of the 90% or so of hairs in the growing (anagen) or transitional (catagen) phases can actually shift all at once into the resting (telogen) phase.
About six weeks to three months after the stressful event, the shedding phenomenon called telogen effluvium may begin. It is possible to lose handfuls of hair at a time when in full-blown telogen effluvium.
Treatment
Telogen effluvium is self-correcting. It is really not influenced by any treatment that can be given. However, gentle handling of the hair, avoiding over-vigorous combing, brushing and any type of scalp massage are important.
You should also ensure a nutritious diet, with plenty of protein, fruit and vegetables.
The doctor may check your thyroid function, and levels of iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid, as any deficiency in these can slow hair growth.
Trichotillomania
A look at the causes and the psychology behind Trichotillomania, a condition characterized by incessant pulling or plucking of one’s own hair. The name of a psychological condition which results in an obsession with plucking or pulling on one’s own body or scalp hair. There are several problems that can result from this activity, and the psychology behind it can be confusing. Commonly treatable in children, adults with this condition rarely recover.
Treatment
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are effective in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and are commonly used in the treatment of trichotillomania. Clomipramine treatment was shown to significantly improve symptoms when tested in a double-blind study.
Fluoxetine and other similar drugs have limited usefulness in treating TTM, and can often have significant side effects.According to F. Penzel, antidepressants can even increase the severity of the TTM.
