Tips for Healthier and More Manageable Hair

by Lois Breneman
     1. Rubbing 1 to 2 drops of rosemary and/or lavender essential oil into the hair and scalp before showering will help strengthen the hair and make it grow.  Lavender will also help with an itchy scalp.  After applying, it is fine to shampoo, but leave the oils in the hair at least 3 minutes before rinsing.

        2. Use good hair products such as Jason Restorative Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner. (i-herb or vitacost)

     3.  Biotin can also be purchased as a supplement and is very inexpensive.  (i-herb or vitacost)

     4.  After rinsing out the shampoo, spray vinegar onto the hair to remove all soapy residue and give your hair an extra shine.  Then add conditioner, leaving in at least 2 minutes.

     5. After drying the hair with a towel, for shinier, stronger, and more manageable hair, try mixing in your hand a few sprays of Miracle 7 (from Sally's) with 1-2 drops of lavender and/or clary sage essential oil, and rub through your hair.

     6.  If your hair is limp, natural curly, or if you just need extra body, use about a pea-size amount of Paul Mitchell Super Clean Sculpting Gel to distribute through your hair.

     7.  If you want to straighten your hair completely or just get rid of extra curl or frizz by smoothing it out a little, an electric straightening brush may help.  It looks a lot easier and safer for the hair than using a flat iron for straightening.
