2012 Is Almost Here!

          The New Year is approaching, so let's start it off by rejuvenating our skin inside and out! If your body is hydrated your skin and scalp will be too, so remember it is important to drink plenty of water. Also, be sure not to over-oil your hair, because your scalp needs to breathe and try using natural oils to restore any dullness your hair may have from winter weather conditions.

Have a Healthy & Prosperous New Year!

So, I learned that rainy days tends to make your hair oily and erupt buildup.  This is what you should do on a day like today, massage your scalp with an Essential Oil to improve blood circulation; it will strengthens your hair and prevents hair loss.  Here are some Essential Oils specially for rainy season:

• Almond Oil: Stimulates hair growth, moisturizes the scalp and strengthens hair. It also combats frizz and adds shine to hair.

• Jojoba Oil: Moisturizes the scalp and conditions your hair and prevents it from being brittle and dull.

Hot Oil Treatment For Dry Hair!

         

         Natirèl Beauties, is your hair a little dry? Well, here is a great hot oil treatment that I always do when my hair is feeling dry:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of  Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)

What To Do:

• Heat oil in the microwave for approximately 1-2 minutes.

• Carefully pour the oil into a spray bottle.

• Apply to the ends and dry parts of your hair (avoid getting oil onto your scalp).

• Cover your head with a shower cap or warm towel for at least 30 minutes.

• Rinse, then shampoo and condition as usual.

**NOTE** For extra conditioning, some naturals advise sleeping with the oil on your hair and washing it out the next morning.
