When it comes to hair, sometimes the best treatments are actually quite simple and quite yummy! these foods are amazing for keeping hair moisturized and conditioned.
Coconut Milk Treatment
Coconut milk is rich in protein and fatty acids, which makes it great for conditioning, strengthening and minimizing hair breakage. It also protects you hair from the UV damage of constant sun exposure, it has been great for restoring shine and softness to hair.
You’ll need:
1 cup coconut milk,
1 peeled and mashed avocado,
1 tbsp of honey (Be sure to apply to freshly shampooed hair).
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. You can apply cool mixture directly to hair, or preheat mixture in microwave for 30-45 seconds. When applying, massage mixture into hair and scalp. Wrap hair in a hot towel or cover with shower cap for 15 min-60 min. Rinse out with shampoo/conditioner and style as usual.
Avocado Treatment
Avocado is great for quick softening, moisturising and deep conditioning. They are rich in fatty acids which are very nourishing for dry, brittle hair. Avocados are also rich in vitamins, protein and amino acids to promote healthy and stronger hair.
You’ll need:
1 avocado (peeled),
1 egg yolk,
1 tablespoon jojoba oil (Be sure to apply to freshly shampooed hair)
Combine all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. Massage mixture into scalp and hair. Leave in for 20 minutes. Rinse out with conditioner and style as usual.
Banana Treatment
Bananas are rich in natural oils and vitamins that help to restore hair’s natural elasticity- which will prevent breakage and split ends. Bananas, when used as a deep conditioning treatment, will also soften, restore shine and control dandruff.
You’ll need:
1 banana (peeled),
1 egg,
5 tablespoons milk,
5 tablespoons olive oil (Be sure to apply to freshly shampooed hair).
Mix all the ingredients in a blender. Apply the mixture to your hair- from root to end. Let soak into your hair for about 15- 30 minutes. Rinse out with conditioner and style as usual.
Honey Treatment
Honey is a natural humectant, which means that it holds on to water molecules. This makes it a great moisturizer. Honey hair treatments are great for conditioning hair and adding sheen. Honey is also super rich in sulfur, iron, zinc and vitamins B1, B2, B3- all nutrients that aid in hair growth.
You’ll need:
½ cup honey,
2 tablespoon olive oil (Be sure to apply to freshly shampooed hair)
Mix honey with olive oil. Heat mixture in microwave for 30 seconds. Apply to hair, then cover head with shower cap for 15-30 minutes. Rinse out with conditioner and style as usual.
