Natural Treatments for Healthy Hair

-- By Liza Barnes, Health Educator

Many of the same wholesome foods that you eat to help you glow from the inside-out can also be used externally, as shampoos, conditioners and hair masks. These vitamins, minerals, and oils that nourish your body also nourish your hair. Below you’ll find recipes for a variety of haircare products that you can make at home with a few simple ingredients. Make them for yourself or even give them as gifts by reusing pretty class jars or bottles. Your friends and relatives will love the personal touch, and you’ll be recycling and saving money too! Here are some recipes to get you started.

Note: If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test before using any of these products. Apply a few drops to the inside of your wrist, and wait 12 hours to see if any irritation develops.

Lemon-Ginger Moisturizing Shampoo
This concoction is great for cleansing the hair and scalp, especially if you are prone to dry hair and scalp. The olive oil and eggs moisturize, the castile soap and lemon juice thoroughly cleanse, and the ginger invigorates.

• 3 Tbsp unscented castile soap*
• 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3 eggs
• 1.5 cups ginger tea

Whip all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Wet hair with warm water, massage in an ample amount of shampoo mixture, and rinse. Unused shampoo must be refrigerated, and will keep for 3-4 days.
