Shine and Volume Boosting Hair Rinse:
To add some volume to your hair with this recipe. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 2 cups of warm water. Pour this mixture on freshly shampooed hair. Try to catch the runoff in another bowl and rinse your hair again. Repeat three to four times. This will retore the natural balance of your hair and add shine and softness.
Hot-Oil Treatment:
To make a hot-oil treatment for dry hair, place 1/4 cup of canola or soybean oil in a glass measuring cup. Place the cup in a bowl of hot water, and allow the oil to warm. Any vegetable oil will work, but canola oil is a good choice because it contains no added ingredients. Use hands to spread the warn oil through wet hair, leave it in for two minutes tops. Wash hair thoroughly with shampoo. You’ll have softer, shinier hair!
Frizz Taming Conditioner:
In a bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons of plain yogurt (not low-fat) and one egg. After shampooing, pour the yogurt-egg mix onto your head and thoroughly massage it into your hair, working from roots to tips to make sure all your hair gets coated. Leave this on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse out well with lots of cool water. This is especially good for softening up dry hair and preventing fly-aways and frizzies.
Is the oil treatment the same as the ones you get at the store?

Heyy.. i think this blog is great.. Oil treatments, especially with good old coconut oil, work wonders in promoting the growth of strong and healthy hair as they provide essential nutrients and proteins! One great way to relax and rejuvenate is a good oil massage. Just heat some oil till its like-warm and apply it onto your scalp with your fingertps. This does great to boost circulation. Also, dont forget to do a steam wrap for 15 minutes after the massage. This will help open the pores and facilitate the effective aborption of all the good nutrients.

You shouldn’t apply the hot oil to your scalp.
