APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSE!!



Apple cider vinegar rinses are one of the most beneficial ways to improve hair health!!  It removes product build up, restores the pH balance in your scalp, promotes blood circulation in your scalp (which stimulates hair growth), and gives the hair a nice sheen.  Apple cider vinegar rinse lays down the cuticle to protect your hair shaft, and because of this it imparts a smoother surface which reflects more light and makes hair shinier.  The acid and enzymes in apple cider vinegar kills the bacteria that causes dandruff, itchy scalp, and hair loss.  Bacteria clogs hair follicles allowing crust to form.  A healthy scalp is a happy scalp and an acv rinse will definitely make your scalp happy:)  I have an instructional video for you that shows you how to properly apply an acv rinse to your hair.  If you have any questions or comments leave it in the box down below and thank you for visiting!!

SWEET ALMOND OIL!!

Sweet almond oil is extracted from sweet almonds.  It can be used as a carrier oil for your essential oils, and it's great for skin and hair.  Sweet almond oil does not penetrate the hair like olive oil or coconut oil.  This oil is better used as a sealant or carrier oil.  It prevents hair loss, provides shine, and strengthens hair.  I have this oil in my bathroom right near the sink.  If I find that I am washing my hands too much I use sweet almond oil on my hands.  If I am going out, I spray  the ends of my twist with water and seal with  sweet almond oil.  If there is a conditioner that contains sweet almond oil, I add a little more. Sometimes my face gets a little dry from the heat in my house, I grab my trusty sweet almond oil.  I also use it to seal my hair after a wash.  Do you use almond oil?  What benefit did you see from using it?  Leave a question or comment in the box down below and thank you for visiting:)

EAT A BANANA: YOUR HAIR AND SKIN WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT!!



I love bananas!!  They're packed with so many vitamins and they have multiple uses.  Bananas are known for there potassium content which is over 400 mg in a medium sized banana.  Potassium is necessary for proper nerve and muscle function.  It can also prevent muscle cramps after working out.  It keeps skin cells hydrated and helps with hair loss.  Bananas also contain vitamins C, B6, manganese, A, E, iron, etc.  Which is great for hair and skin health.  It can also be used for hair and skin mask.  Down below is a recipe or two for hair and skin.  Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!!
