Damaged Hair Repair Products You Never Dreamed Were In The Kitchen

By Della Monroe


We all want to look our best and a part of that is what is sitting on top of our heads. There is hope for us all even if we have nothing but a messy frizzy mess. Just go to the kitchen and look through your cabinets because you will find Damaged Hair Repair Products you never dreamed were in the kitchen.

Olive oil is something most people have in their home already for cooking. What they may not have known is that it is full of emollients that have a softening quality. The same stuff that beauty aide companies use in their shampoos and conditioners.

How this works is, when your locks get wet, the water penetrates them, which will cause the shaft or cuticle to rise and allow breakage and damage. Both olive and coconut oil are full of fatty acids, beneficial to your mane. You would simply massage one or both onto your scalp and let it sit for an hour.

All you need to is heat up a half cup of either and apply it directly to your locks. It is not advised to use the microwave to heat up, instead place a container with the oil over a pot or bowl of very warm water and wait for it to get warm. After you let it rest on your tresses for at least an hour, you can shampoo out.

Mayonnaise is also great for conditioning and protecting your tresses. This is because it contains a protein that replenishes your locks to stop it from breaking. It also encourages new growth. One of the ingredients in Mayonnaise is a vegetable oil, which is going to create a coat much like silicone one your locks that will protect it from heat.

Eggs are protein that strengthens and thickens while keeping the natural oils in your hair intact. Combine five Tablespoons of mayonnaise plus two raw eggs, using your hand to mix. Be careful and not let the mixture turn into liquid, you want it to resemble a paste. Apply, wait at least thirty minutes then shampoo.

So, how did you get such a hot mess to begin with? Many grooming techniques are actually the cause for the damage. Rubbing shampoo the length of your locks, toweling dry by rubbing it, and brushing it while still wet are also harmful. Also the obvious but needs to be repeated are using the high setting when using a curling iron, hot comb, or blow dryer.

A few things some people do not think about doing to help their mane stay healthy and strong is to shampoo only the scalp when washing. Actually if your rub the shampoo down the entire length it can cause breakage just as brushing while wet can. Use a deep conditioner on a regular basis. In addition, when swimming, use a swim cap, or if just sunbathing, remember to apply some sort of sunscreen to your tresses also or at the least wear a hat.
