All-Natural Hair Mask Recipe

 Here is a wonderful all-natural recipe you can use on your hair
BANANA HAIR MASK:
Bananas are a great moisturizer for tired, droopy hair. Bananas contain minerals and nutrients that also can actually restore damaged and dry hair. Olive oil on the other hand replaces lost
natural oils but can add shine to tired curls.
Try this recipe, but remember to do a small patch test first on your wrist to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction. If you are allergic than this recipe is not for you. 

On a brighter note, if your curls need an all-natural pick-me-up, check out this banana hair mask recipe:
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 tbsp olive oil
Mash the banana and olive oil with a fork in a bowl. Make sure it becomes a nice smooth paste then apply to wet hair from root to ends. Massage into hair and leave on for 30 minutes with the
hair wrapped in plastic with a warm towel covering it.
Rinse hair with warm water and then shampoo and condition the hair as usual. Your hair will feel revived, more manageable and have more shine!

Top 10 Healthy Hair Foods

Top 10 Healthy Hair Foods!

Eat the right foods for your hair!

Vitamins C and Vitamins E are essential to good hair too!

When hair begins to start thinning and losing sheen as we age, it’s essential that you look at your
diet.
Make sure you eat foods that are antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory foods like berries -
blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Beans like red kidney beans and pinto beans are
excellent for hair growth and are anti-oxidant rich.
Also raisins, figs, prunes, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts and skim milk are also excellent
healthy foods that foster increased hair growth and shine.
And instead of grabbing that can of Coke, consider green tea instead. Green tea is antioxidantrich
and prevents the production of DHT from binding and blocking the hair follicles. It basically
allows for the hair follicles to open up and allows the hair to grow freely.
Green tea is made from unfermented leaves of the tea plant. It’s a healthy, natural alternative to
sugary drinks that only slow down hair growth. Green tea is a great alternative!

Curly Towel Tip

Curly Towel Tip

 Did you know that the fabric you use to dry your hair makes a huge difference in the way
your curls look?
Do you ever question what towel fabric you use to dry your hair? Most people use a basic cotton
towel on their hair after each wash. The hairs wet, they roll up their hair in the towel to get out most of the wetness, but what they fail to realize is this cotton towel is an enemy of curls. It makes hair frizzy and flyaway.
The best towel to use is the micro fiber towel. When your hair is wet, hold the head upside down and scrunch the micro fiber towel on your hair. Whether you air dry your hair or use a diffuser or blow dryer, the micro fiber towel cuts down the drying time which is especially good during the winter months.
The micro fiber towel absorbs seven times its weight in water.

It's thick and soft and absorbs moisture, drying the hair quickly. 

They also have micro fiber turbans that sits even more comfortably on your head. 

A must have accessory!
NEVER leave in braid extensions or weaves in the hair more than 3 months! 

Why? It can cause atrophy or cause the hair to lock. If you don’t want your extensions growing into dreadlocks,
remove them prior to 3 months.
Always use a wide-tooth comb with curly hair. But also make sure you’re altering your
conditioning treatments. 

This ensures that your hair receives the right balance of moisture and protein. 

Consider Redken’s Extreme CAT Protein Reconsturctor or Barry Fletcher’s Major
Moisture Deep Penetrating Conditioner.

Is Your Hair Healthy

IS YOUR HAIR HEALTHY?

HOME HAIR TEST
Did you know that you can identify how healthy your hair is by doing an at-home hair test?

Try this! Pull a strand of your hair out and put it through a sewing needle. 

If the hair slides through it's fine or probably straight. 

If you have problems threading the needle or if it gets caught along the way, your hair is probably thick, wavy or curly.
Another test is to fill a glass with water.

Take a strand of your hair and place it in the glass of water. 

If your hair floats, it's healthy or may be a bit oily. As you know, oil floats when added to
water.
If your hair sinks, the hair is absorbing a great deal of water. This means that your hair lacks
moisture so it must be dry.

Best Brushes for Your Hair

Best Brushes for Your Hair

Many people don't realize the importance of having the right hair brush. 

According to the national sales director of Mason Pearson brushes, Robert Sansone suggests using a boar bristle brush because the material used in the brush is the closest in structure and composition to human hair, so it won't cause any damage to the hair.
A Mason Pearson Brush is great for short curly hairstyle – especially thick curls like the TWA
(teeny, weeny, afro) or any other short curly style. 

For best results use it on wet hair along with
styling products. It helps to mold the hair in the desired style while still making your hair look
natural and soft.

**It's recommended that for thick or curly hair, try a brush made of a combination
of boar and nylon bristles. This makes it easier for the brush to penetrate highly
textured hair.**
