How to get beautiful hair

Dry curly hair can be very challenging in so many ways: we want to hydrate it as much as possible but not too much as it can look wet. Curls must be shiny and bouncy.  It is tough to fight split ends, keep your scalp moisturized and curls well nourished.

Well, many years ago, when I first went to see my hairstylist, she gave me good advice: At least once a week I should put a hair mask onto my hair and massage it onto the scalp. Seemed easy enough . So, this is the treatment that I’ve been using ever since.

Usually during a weekend, or sometime on a weekday when I don’t plan to go out for a night, I would make my own, natural mask, with no chemicals added to it, and I would massage it into my hair & scalp, cover with shower cap and then put big towel on a top to keep had warm. I would have hair mask on for few hours at least, sometimes even through the night. The longer it stays on, the better, as hair and scalp have time to absorb it and take all necessary nutrients that can revitalize every hair strand.

With this mask you can mix and match your own ingredients. The most important ingredient to have is sour cream, sometimes I use 125-ml of it, because I have longer hair.

Ingredients:

- Sour cream 14%
- 2 egg yolks
- finely chopped 1 garlic
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- few lemon drops
- 1 tablespoon of honey

If you’re missing the ingredient it is not the end of a world, as long as you have sour cream, it is good. All other ingredients are just extra. We all know that egg nourishes hair, garlic is very good for scalp, diminishes dandruff as well, olive oil is excellent for hair too. Lemon drops are make hair more shiny, and honey again is excellent nutrient, that
moisturizes scalp.

After you had this hair mask on for a few hours, wash hair and style it as usual. Your hair will not stink, even though you put some garlic in your hair mask.

One day, I was sitting outside with my co-workers, and one of the ladies asked me how come my hair is not frizzy. She along everybody else around me had very frizzy hair. I was really surprised when I realized that, as I’ve never paid attention to it before. I told her that every week I apply my own hair mask, and she was really surprised. She then just kept complimenting my hair admiring how much I care to keep it healthy.

However, I must mention that people with acne prone skin should not be using olive oil in this hair mask, it can ’cause new breakouts. Other than that, you’re good to go. In order to maintain healthy and beautiful hair, you must take care of it. The more natural ingredients you use in your hair, healthier your hair will be.  It is not expensive to make this hair mask once a week, and you can only gain a beautiful hair, even with a first use. If you know some other natural hair masks, please let everybody know, so we can all enjoy this beautiful gift of nature: healthy looking hair!
