Hair Treatments

Have to run out of the house and your hair is dull, dry and full of split ends?

Take 1 tsp of virgin olive oil and rub together in the palms of your hands.

Run your hands through hair and evenly spread the oil through it. This adds instant shine and conditions the hair, reducing the appearance of split ends.

If you have a bit more time to treat and condition your hair, try this restorative hair treatment. It's excellent for over-processed hair due to bleaching and perms.

1/2 cup mayo
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp buttermilk

Directions: Mix together and apply to hair. Cover with a shower cap and marinade for at least 30 minutes. Wash out. Your hair will be full of shine and oh-so-soft!
