Honey and yogurt mask for dry hair

by Alaa

2 cups of yogurt
4 tablespoons of honey.

Blend them together and apply on wet hair,leave on for 30 min, shampoo hair.. this mask smooths the hair.

Thanks for the recipe Alaa!

Both honey and yogurt are great cleansers; honey also adds moisture to the skin so it is a perfect combination of two very effective ingredients.

I would also add Vitamin E to it simply because it is a great moisturizer. It is quite frequently used in hair care recipe because it coats the hair shaft but is not greasy. This is also true for olive oil; it is a major ingredient in many homemade hair conditioner recipes.

Dry Hair Tip

For dry hair I recommend to not wash your hair everyday. If you feel the need to do so daily, then I recommend to not use shampoo everyday (every other day is fine). But always use conditioner!

Have Dry-Dull Hair?

by Amanda
(Long Beach, CA)

Here's a little trick I discovered in a book I read...

It may not smell very well-but it works!! Ok-wash hair with shampoo-but DO NOT CONDITION-then you take Best foods' mayonnaise and cover all of you hair paying extra attention to the roots...then cover your hair with either a shower cap/ or a plastic bag. Leave on for at least 30 minutes-but I recommend an hour. Then you shampoo once again and finish with conditioner.

Try it out!!
