Very few people are happy with their hair.  Some blondes want to be dark haired, some dark haired women bleach their hair.  Those with curls want straight hair, while those with straight hair want curls.  All that coloring and styling damages hair and in an attempt to repair such damage, hair often gets damaged even more.

If you are like most people, you have bought every product that promised you a small miracle and were disappointed.  Fact is, to repair your damaged hair, you will have to go back to basics.

Stop believing what you see on TV and stop buying department store products.  Do you really think the models use the products they advertise?  I think not. 

For damaged hair you need organic shampoo and conditioner.  For this you consult a search engine of your choice, type in organic hair care and see what pops up.  Those are the kind of products that will really help to repair your hair.

Do not expect miracles though, repairing takes time.  You will feel immediately that what you are using is better quality than department store products, but to fully restore your hair’s health and beauty you might have to give it a few weeks.

In addition, stop putting mousses, gels and serums in your hair.  All these products may promise you to curl, smooth or fight frizz, but all of them contain a certain amount of alcohol.  Alcohol is bad for your hair, it dries it out.

If you want a product to comb through wet hair easier, give it shine or control frizz, look no further than your kitchen.  If you have olive oil, you have everything you need.  Rub a few drops between the palms of your hands, start by treating the ends of your hair and then smooth hands along the length.  You will see and feel immediate results.  In the long run, combined with the organic shampoo and conditioner, olive oil will repair your hair.

You can also use almond oil, but this oil is far more expensive. 

In addition, you can give your hair a mask from time to time using mayonnaise.  Leave the mayonnaise in for 30 minutes and then give your hair a good wash.

Stop using heat on your hair.  A flat iron may take out the curls, but it is detrimental to your hair.  Common sense tells you that.  The same goes for curling irons, hot rollers and blow dryers. 

Let your hair air dry.  To minimize curling, roll your hair in a knot when still slightly damp.  The result will be beautiful waves with no frizz at all.  This does not mean that you can never blow dry your hair, but do use a dryer with every wash

You might want to look at your diet too.  Healthy hair needs protein, vitamin B and zinc.  This is why it is important to eat fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, cottage cheese, bacon and salmon.

Give it a try, see what you think.  You won’t be disappointed.
