Condition Your Hair For Beautiful Tresses

You use conditioner after shampooing and to untangle and make your hair more manageable, but do you ever give it an actual treatment which penetrates each hair, restoring and maintaining its strength, and moisturizing your scalp?
Beauty professionals advise that a monthly conditioning treatment is an excellent idea and will revitalize your hair, of which they tell us there are over 100,000 on the average head. There are many choices on the market so be sure to use the correct type of conditioner that suits your hair, whether it’s oily, dry, coloured, fine, or brittle. You may want to consider using organic or natural products which do not contain chemicals. If you have been in the sun a lot, if you perm or colour your hair, you definitely need to condition regularly to replace protein and heal your hair. For seriously damaged hair, reconstructors can be used before conditioning which rebuild, reconstruct, strengthen and protect damaged hair. The conditioner works by restoring proteins and leaves hair moisturized and soft, leaving the hair feeling fuller, and looking shiny and healthy. Follow application directions exactly.

 

There are many deep conditioners on the market, and the most effective are those which should be left on for 15 minutes or longer. Gather all your supplies before you start, and brush your hair well. Shampoo, rinse and towel dry, then part your hair from front to back and from ear to ear to give you four sections. Apply a thin layer of conditioner evenly in each section, moving back and forth over your hair. Make sure you get some on your scalp too. When you have covered every hair, place a plastic cap or plastic wrap on your head and if you have a hood dryer, you can sit under it for 15 minutes, but if not a towel warmed in the dryer will do as well. Raise your body temperature by doing an activity such as housework or exercising to generate heat to your scalp. When time is up, remove towels and plastic and rinse your hair thoroughly, with cool water to help close the hair shaft and trap the moisture inside. Blow dry in your favourite style and you are ready to go.

You can also save your money and make your own. A recipe you might try includes one cup of room-temperature mayonnaise, a half cup of olive oil and three egg yolks, blended thoroughly in a bowl. Apply to your hair, adding extra at the ends, cover with a plastic shower cap and a towel for about 20 minutes, then rinse it out. If you have some left over, you can use it for a moisturizing face mask. Full instructions and additional tips can be found at http://www.recipezaar.com/129648.
