A lot of women desire to own a healthy and strong hair and envy those who are flaunting beautiful and shiny mane. They want to know the secrets of how these women take care of their hair that makes it flowing and attractive.
The key to having an amazing crop of hair is not in the use of expensive hair care products full of chemicals and sold in cosmetic stores.
You cannot readily have instant beautiful locks when treating your hair to costly salons and parlors. Here are cool and cost-effective shiny hair secrets that will surely add shine to your hair and make it sparkle.
1. Mayonnaise. Apply mayonnaise to your hair starting from the roots to the tips and massage thoroughly. Tie your hair into a bun and cover it with plastic or a shower cap for better results. For deep conditioning, wrap the head with a pre-heated towel for 10 minutes. Wash the hair afterwards with a mild shampoo. This routine must be followed once a month to make the hair healthy and give it volume and shine.
2. Cornstarch. The hair should not be washed daily in order to maintain the natural oils present on the scalp. Instead of washing daily, dip a large blush brush into a dish of cornstarch and sweep it onto the scalp and the roots of the hair. Leave it on the hair for 10 minutes to allow the extra oiliness and dirt to be soaked in it. Then brush away every bit of the cornstarch to get rid of the unwanted greasiness off the hair.
3. Aspirin. Two aspirins are dissolved in your anti-dandruff shampoo before you wash your hair. Wash the hair using it and apply conditioner later. This is a good remedy and secret for dull hair as aspirin works like magic in bringing back the shine to the hair.
4. Avocado. This fruit is proven to maintain healthy skin and hair. Mash ½ piece of small ripe avocado and mix it with ½ small banana, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Massage this mixture or mask into your hair, cover with plastic cap, and leave it for an hour. Wash it away with warm water after, and then shampoo the hair properly. This is one secret to soft, shiny, tangle-free, and very manageable hair.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar. This is used as a hair rinse where ½ of this vinegar is mixed with a gallon of distilled water. Refrigerate overnight and use it to rinse the hair after shampoo. Allow the mask to saturate the hair then use cold water for rinsing. This will not only remove product buildup from the hair but will also solve the dullness and make the hair shine naturally.
