Universal Nourishing Hair Treatments

Image
For achieving a beautiful, strong, and vital hair, we need to regularly nourish the scalp and our mane with natural organic substances. The variety of products we can use is wide and can stimulate our imagination to experiment. The most popular ingredients are carrier oils, essential oils, yogurt, Indian herbs, various fruits and veggies, honey, eggs, etc. Basically, everything that nurtures our bodies, can be valuable for the hair as well.

It is a wonderful base for all kinds of homemade cosmetic recipes for both hair and skin. -        Avocado oil – this one is much more saturated and heavy.

Best Nourishing Hair Oil Blend

Here's a quick and easy recipe for you DIY types out there! Good news: you don't need to melt anything on the stove or pull out your mixer. While this mix would work year-round, what makes this a wintertime blend for me is the lower coconut oil content. For a warm weather blend, feel free to double the amount of coconut oil. However, when it's chilly outside, coconut oil hardens, and I prefer not applying products that must be melted during this time of year. Too much coconut oil in a mix will solidify in cooler temperatures. As a personal choice, I don't want to have to run hot water over my container to melt it sufficiently every time I use it. Nourishing Hair Oil Blend 1 Ingredients: 1 1/2 Tbsp. Argan oil 1 1/2 Tbsp. Almond oil 2 tsps.
