My hair care regime


The quest for envious hair lies between being healthy inside and out, a combination of both internal vitamins and hair care regime to nurture your locks.  And yes, you know I am going to make this organic and take it back to some heritage roots.  Here we go with a breakdown for thicker longer hair.  I will first start off with products – shampoo, conditioner, and treatments.  What you should avoid are harsh sulfates, ammonium, and paraben in your hair care products.  My favorite is called hair gear all of their products are great!  You can find them at most beauty supplies or Amazon.  If you have breakage use a protein treatment at least once a week to reduce your hair breaking off.  Chemicals that are not good for your hair cause dryness and breakage it slowly strips your hair making it thinner.  If your hair is breaking at the same rate it grows you obviously will see no results of your hair growing.  Breakage can also comes from your hair being dry so if you add a treatment to your routine after shampoo to moisturize/condition your hair it can avoid dryness.  Dryness equals breakage equals not seeing growth and strong hair.  So this is just the hair itself that needs to be taken care of therefore aside from being in a good nutritional state there are a few vitamins I take to help with my hair growth and fullness.  Biotin being the first, I take 1 pill in the morning which is 5,000 mcg.  I’ve seen the most results with MSM (2,000 mcg per day) which lengthens the growth phase of your hair. I also take a B complex and silica.  These not only help your hair but also reduce wrinkles clear your skin and good for nail growth as well!

Now for an organic approach for hair treatments:

These have helped me a lot when I bleached my hair in a very short period of time to get the lightest blonde from black hair.  My hair was fried! It was very brittle, thin, and short.  You can also use this as a protein treatment for your hair. 

Blend (in a blender) shampoo, egg yolks, castor oil, and onions (I promise it does not make your hair smell).  Castor oil can be very sticky and greasy on the hair so you want to make sure you have enough shampoo to aid in the oily-ness.  You can even blend this with your protein treatment just make sure your shampoo or protein treatment contains more product than the castor oil.  Throw that in with 2 egg yolks, and half chopped onions.  Once blended, apply to your hair, wrap it with a plastic bag and let it dry until your hair is stiff. Then rinse it out in the shower and moisturize after! I did this once a week or every time I washed my hair when I was blonde.  I’m being lazy now with dark hair J but this would give my hair volume and thickness- kind of functions as a protein treatment with natural products though. 

Garlic treatment

Don’t stop quite yet! Crush a couple garlic cloves in your conditioner and apply to your hair wrap it with a plastic bag and leave on for 1 hour.  This is another treatment to help with hair loss. 

Try these all together for one month you will definitely see a difference in your hair!

Oh! Don’t forget satin pillow case is the best way to go!
