Winter, like summer can wreak havoc on your hair and if spending hundreds
on hair care products or visits to the hairdresser aren’t doable, perhaps you
can go to your local grocery store and pick up a few items.

The Items:
Fruits, milk and an herb.
Use these items topically to beautify your mane this Winter.

First Hair Mishap:
Dull Hair!
Time spent in a house that’s constantly in the 70 degrees (or more) range
can strip hair of its natural oils. To combat this and remove the dullness,
make the following hair mask.
Combine 1/2 cup of coconut milk and 1/2 cup of pineapple juice.
Step into the shower and pour this over damp hair. Leave it on for 5 to 10
mins. and then rinse out with warm water. Use this mask once or twice a week.
How does this mask work?
Coconut milk’s lauric acid deeply penetrates to repair the building of keratin,
the protein that strengthens hair. And pineapple’s enzyme bromelain dissolves
the dulling from the hair shafts, resulting in lustrous locks.

Second Hair Mishap-
Frizzy Hair?
Often thought to only occur in the summer, but if you spend a lot of time
in a house (or apartment) that’s hot and humid, the frizziness is bound to happen.
To fix the frizzy hair, make the following mask.
Mix 1 banana (mashed) with 1/2 cup of yogurt, step into the shower or sit on
the side of the tub and apply the hair mask. Leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse out
with warm water.
Use this mask once a week.
How does this mask work?
Banana’s water content quenches hair so it won’t seek out extra moisture, while its
amino acids seal the (hair) cuticles. And yogurt contains fat that further hydrates hair.

Third Hair Mishap-
Thinning hair!
Hot, indoor air can cause sweat and oil to gather on the scalp, clogging hair
follicles and stalling growth and a herb and fruit can reverse the thinning.
The mask for hair thinning:
Add 1/2 cup of water, 6 crushed mint leaves and 1 Tbs. of lime juice to a
spray bottle; mist on damp hair. Use this mask twice a week.
How is this mask work?
Citric acid in lime removes the sweat and mint’s menthol boosts circulation
to the scalp, igniting new hair growth.
