5 Luxurious and Holistic Hair Treatments using products you can find in your kitchen

I get at least 5-10 calls, emails, or DM’s everyday from friends, family, and complete strangers looking for a natural remedy for a hair, skin, or health related issue.  It started taking up a large chunk of my time so I decided to start a consultation business and charge a reasonable fee for my holistic knowledge and experience that I share on a daily basis.  I mean, they do say that the game is to be sold and not told right! Money helps keep the lights on but what truly motivates me...the love of others, the love of healing, the love of nature, and the love of the Creator.  It is such a blessing to be able to help others look good and feel good using safe, healthy, and all natural products. 

Most of my inquires tend to revolve around female reproductive issues and hair care, go figure!  With hair care issues I direct people to my product line, Mama’s Healing Hands where they can find shampoo, hair growth cream, and hair growth oil.  But for those who need a quick fix I have decided to share 5 at home treatments using products that you probably already have in your kitchen!  These recipes are quick, easy, and effective, they can be used alone of combined for a killer hair regimen.

1.  Avocado-

Avocado is all the rage right now and rightfully so.  Avocados are packed full of vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy body.  Avocado is beneficial when eaten as well as when used externally.  The proteins and amino acids in avocado make it nourishing to the scalp, penetrating the hair and scalp providing moisture and helping to heal.

Mama’s Easy Avocado Hair Mask

1 Ripe Avocado

1 Egg

1 tablespoon of olive or coconut oil

Peel Avocado and remove the pit.  Blend Avocado, egg and oil (I like to use a blender for the best consistency).  Apply to wet hair liberally making sure that the whole head and scalp are saturated.  Cover head with plastic (Saran wrap or a grocery bag works fine). Leave on for 20 min., rinse and style as usual.  This mask will leave the hair more soft, shiny, and manageable.

2.  ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar)-

Apple Cider Vinegar is one of those cure all items that everyone should have in his or her cabinet.   If you don’t have ACV in your home I sincerely suggest that you run out and get some now.  From household cleaning, to naturopathic cures, to delicious dishes ACV is a go to item in my house.  I suggest using Raw, unfiltered ACV with “the mother” for best results.

Mama’s Moisturizing Detangler

8 oz. of Spring Water

6 tsp. ACV

Spray Bottle

Mix ingredients in spray bottle and use as needed to detangle while combing.  Hair will smell like ACV until it dries.

3.  Tea-

I bet you thought Tea was just a delicious beverage that the British love to enjoy, newsflash...it is so much more!  From Green to Black and every type in between there are a multitude of benefits for the skin and hair that many people tend to overlook.  Chamomile Tea can be used to naturally lighten the hair, Peppermint Tea to combat a dry and itchy scalp, and Black tea to prevent shedding, darken hair and add sheen.

Mama’s Sweet Tea Rinse

6 cups of spring water

8 black tea bags

2 tbs. Raw Honey

Brew tea in spring water and add honey.  For easiest use store in a spray bottle once the tea has cooled.  Use after shampoo, apply to hair liberally, Cover hair with plastic (Saran Wrap, etc.).  Let sit for 20 minutes, apply deep conditioner like Mama’s Easy Avocado Hair Mask, let sit for 20 minutes and then rinse and style as usual. 

*Black tea will add dark highlights to light hair and it will stain clothes and towels so plan accordingly.

4.  Coconut Oil-

I never seem to have enough Coconut Oil!!!  I use it for cooking, I use it for making my natural hair and skin products, I even use it to keep me teeth healthy and bright.  I could go on for days telling you all of the good things that I use Coconut Oil for!  I love how light and pleasantly fragrant this oil is, it adds a little mystery to every dish and provides a lightweight, well balanced moisture to my hair and skin care products.

Mama’s Herbal Hot Oil Treatment

2 Cups of Coconut Oil (I prefer Organic and Extra Virgin)

1 teaspoon of dried or fresh Rosemary

1 teaspoon of dried or fresh Oregano

Heat Coconut oil on Low-Medium heat; once the oil has melted add Rosemary and Oregano.  Let the oil simmer on low covered for 30 min. then strain out the herbs.  Shampoo as usual, pour the warm oil on the hair and scalp, and saturate the entire head.  Wrap with plastic cap, or towel and let sit for 30 minutes before rinsing.  Rosemary and Oregano are both good for stimulating hair growth.

5.  Banana-

Not only are Banana’s awesome in cereal but they also are great for conditioning hair, who knew!  Bananas are full of potassium, which helps to build protein while hydrating skin cells!

Mama’s Conditioning Banana Hair Pudding

3 medium ripe bananas (or 4 jars of banana baby food, I would get organic)

3 tbs. of spring water

1tsp raw honey

1 tsp. olive oil

Peel bananas and put all ingredients into a blender.  Puree until all clumps are gone.  Apply to wet hair, leave in for 30 minutes under a plastic cap or Saran Wrap.  Rinse and style as usual.

So the next time that you want to give your hair some special attention, don’t rush out to spend tons of money at the salon and don’t break the bank on high priced hair products with ingredients that you can’t even pronounce.  You can head straight to your kitchen and whip something up in minutes to give your hair the luxurious treatment that it deserves!!!
