Home Spa for your Hair

Our last newsletter brought you an at-home spa treatment for your skin, and today we bring you a restorative treat for your hair that you can apply yourself. This hair mask comes in time for summer, when dry weather leads to dry, frizzy, unmanageable hair.

For deep hydration, add 1/2 cup of olive oil to your hair. Concentrate on the driest areas and avoid the roots when you apply the oil and then comb it through all hair. You want to leave this in as long as possible, so if you are going to be home for the day, put in the oil first thing in the morning and wrap a towel around your head or put the hair in a bun. Your hair will look dreadful to start, but by the end of the day it will just look wet.

When you shampoo at the end of the day, you should feel a difference in softness. Make sure to not over shampoo to compensate for the oil. Only lather twice at most, and by the second shower, you should not feel the oil at all anymore.
