Healthy Hair At Home

Do you want longer, shinier, healthier hair?
Do I sound like a late night infomercial? 
The answer to both questions is "yes".

Tuesday night my best friend and I tried out a hot oil treatment that you can make with two (or one) ingredients from your kitchen. Any type of oil will work; coconut, rosemary, or olive oil, the last being the easiest and cheapest to come by. You can even mix oils to create your own solution.


Heat six tablespoons of oil (we used olive and canola oil) in a microwave-safe container for 30 seconds. Using your hands, carefully apply the mixture to damp hair, working the oil into the scalp to stimulate the follicles. After applying the oil wrap your hair in a towel and leave in for 30 minutes, rinsing and shampooing afterwards.
Repeat weekly to reveal fabulous hair.


In salons hot oil treatments can cost us to $100, but why not grab a friend and convince them to throw in a head and neck massage to achieve the same experience?


Until next time.
Eat these 10 foods for healthy hair.

Salmon, dark green vegetables, beans, nuts, poultry, eggs, whole grains, oysters (eek, not my favorite), low-fat dairy products, and carrots.
