A Cheap Alternative to Those Expensive Hair Masks

By -

Hair masks can really help improve the overall health of your hair, but why do they have to cost so much? Hot olive oil hair treatments can give you the same results at a much cheaper price. This is a super fun, easy, cheap, and relaxing project. The compliments you'll get will be even better!

Things you'll need:
Several tablespoons of olive oil (depending on the length of your hair)
Hair or shower cap (optional)

Steps:
1. Heat up the olive oil in a mug or other microwave safe dish
2. Take small handfuls of olive oil and massage into your hair and scalp
3. Put on your shower cap
4. Leave in for at least 30 minutes
5. Shampoo and rinse well (you can condition as well if you want)
6. Prepare for amazingly soft hair!

    Oh, yeah...this works totally great! If you have a flaky scalp you should do a vinegar rinse before you shampoo and do the mask.

    Hey Adithis,

    If you have dandruff, I would suggest this recipe:

    2 egg yolks(beaten well)
    1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
    1/3 cup olive oil

    but, you don't want to heat up this recipe. Hope that helps :D!

    This works wonders! We used to put olive oil in a ziploc and set it in hot water to warm up. After the oil is warm, you can snip off an end of the baggy and use this to dispense on your hair.

Keratin Hair Treatments: The Answer to All My Problems?

The quest for perfect hair seems like a never ending battle. Products everywhere claim that they will solve all your hair problems, but I have yet to find one that actually will (if you happen to know of one, please tell me :D.) But there is a new process that has caught my eye... keratin hair treatments. What do keratin hair treatments do? Keratin hair treatments involve a process that can get rid of up to 99% of frizz, straighten hair, make hair soft & shiny, and protect the hair from toxins like UV rays, smoke, & pollution. How does this process do it? Wow! This really does seem like the end to my hair battle? Well, keratin is what hair (and nails) are naturally made up of. When we use styling tools, expose hair to chemical processes and toxins in the environment, the keratin in your hair becomes less effective at its job (keeping your hair strong and looking healthy.) Where can I get it and how much will it hurt my wallet? You can get it at a salon and it shou...
