Hair
Problems solved the Beauty Kitchen way!

Everyone
has a hair problem, let’s face it. My hair is either too greasy or flat or this
or that. Even men have hair problems. Here are some amazing hair masks that you
can use to solve your hair problems, the Beauty Kitchen way! These also work
great for men!
For
dull hair
Styling
products (as well as air pollution, hello Los Angeles residents) can leave a
film that both saps moisture and dulls shine. However dairy products like sour
cream and plain yogurt can help reverse this damage.
To
rid your hair of dullness:
Massage 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
into damp hair and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water, followed by
cool water, then shampoo hair as you normally would. Treatment can be applied
every other week.
For
that itchy scalp, this happens to me after tanning!
To
fight flakes that can be brought on by poor diet, stress and climate, or
stress, try a lemon juice and olive oil mixture in your hair. The acidity in
lemon juice helps rid your scalp of any loose, dry flakes of skin, while the
olive oil moisturizes the skin on your head.
Mix 2
tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons water,
and massage into damp scalp. Let mixture sit for 20 minutes, then rinse and
shampoo hair. Treatment can be applied every other week.
For
limp or fine hair
To
add body to hair, reach for an unlikely beauty beverage: beer! The fermented
drink contains generous supplies of yeast, which works to plump tired hair
shafts.
Mix 1/2 cup flat beer (pour beer into a
container and let it sit out for a couple of hours to deplete carbonation) with
1 teaspoon light oil (sunflower or canola) and a raw egg. Apply to clean, damp
hair, let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Or add flat beer only
to a spray bottle and spritz onto dry hair. Treatments can be applied every
other week.
For
dry or sun-damaged hair
Hard
water, sun overexposure, your styling tools can really damage your hair. Honey
is a natural humectant, which means it attracts and locks in moisture
Massage
approximately 1/2 cup honey into clean, damp hair, let sit for 20 minutes, then
rinse with warm water. You can also add 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil to loosen
the honey for easier application. For extremely sun-damaged hair, trying mixing
honey with 1 to 2 tablespoons of a protein-rich ingredient, like avocado or egg
yolk, which will help replenish the keratin protein bonds that UV rays attack.
Treatment can be applied once a month.
For
oily or greasy hair
Pour 1 tablespoon cornmeal or cornstarch into
an empty salt or pepper shaker and sprinkle onto dry hair and scalp until
you’ve used it all. After 10 minutes, use a paddle hairbrush to completely
brush it out. Treatment can be applied every other day.
For
frizzy hair
Mash
up half an avocado and massage into clean, damp hair. Let sit for 15 minutes
before rinsing with water. Amp up moisturizing power by combining mashed
avocado with 1 to 2 tablespoons of a hydrating ingredient, like sour cream, egg
yolks or mayonnaise. Treatment can be applied every two weeks.
For
residue-ridden hair
Nothing
eats through product buildup like baking soda, Sodium bicarbonate essentially
breaks down anything acidic.
Mix 1
to 2 tablespoons baking soda with small amounts of water until a thick paste
forms. Massage into damp hair and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with water,
then shampoo hair. Treatment can be applied every two weeks.

you can battle any hair problem the Beauty Kitchen way!
