Hair remedies at home
For generations, women here have relied on local resources to enhance their beauty. Herbs, fruits, vegetable and even the hot springs, like Milk River Mineral Bath in Clarendon, have transformed many a broken skin and spirit for the better.
Achieving healthy hair is high on the list for proper maintenance. For one, have you ever felt yourself getting grouchy when the time is getting closer towards your next hair relaxer? Bad hair days just do not cut it. Therefore women feel compelled to rectify the situation as soon as possible.
Not only long, but luscious hair, too, can be attained with simple old-time regimens and at-home treatment products, found on the market, to correct and prevent damaged tresses.
Consider crude (black) castor oil for its ability to strengthen hair and make it shiny. It used to be a staple in many cupboards for those weekend, hot-oil, deep-conditioned treatments.
Apply the sticky liquid to the root of the hair and comb through to the ends. Use sparingly with only just enough to coat the strands completely. Hair that is dry and rough, especially children’s natural hair, will need more oil though. Cover the hair with a plastic bag or cap for about 25 minutes, then shampoo.
Another option to condition hair is by using the trustworthy Queen Helene Cholesterol Conditioning/Strengthening Cream (some formulas are made with the Chinese ginseng herb).
A cholesterol at-home treatment was the norm in the formative years, or perhaps still is, and can be found in the neighbourhood beauty supply store.
Cholesterol treatments strengthen and helps repair over-processed and damaged hair. It leaves the hair soft and radiant after it has relieved the scalp of dryness and itchy feeling. The conditioner is a one step formula that rinses out easily.
Apply generously to hair and scalp. Leave in for two minutes, rinse thoroughly and towel dry. Style as you normally would with additional hair products that can bring out the shine, fullness and length of hair.
