Useful tips
for men with thin hair.
1) Switch shampoo
and conditioner to something higher quality, or more natural.
2) Clean out the buildup in your hair with baking soda every
once in a couple months. (condition after!)
3) Leave lemon juice and coconut water in your hair for a few
minutes before taking a shower.
4) I use mustard oil in my hair before shampooing. This can be
bought at Indian Supermarkets.
5) I put Lavender Oil in my shampoo.
6) After my shower, I put a mixture of Oat Water (let oats soak
in water overnight, then strain out oats) and honey or sugar
water ( 1 tsp per 2 -3 cups)
7) I have found lemon juice and orange juice make good hairspray.
Also, a good
hair lotion:
1/2 cup water,
tea, herbal infusion, etc
1/4 - 1/2 cup oil (olive, mustard, coconut, etc)
1 tbsp liquid soy lecithin (or possibly even egg yolk, though
I haven't tested it)
optional:
sugar
honey
a little alcohol (or your hair will be really greasy)
salt
fruit or vegetable juice (such as carrot)
essential oils
This works
best with a small electric beater, just mix it up and store it
in a jar.
Good herbal
infusions to use are: basil, ginger, lavender, rose, frankincense,
turmeric, rosemary, horsetail, chamomile, shikakai, amla, gotu
kola, cinnamon, myrrh, sandalwood (frankincense, sandalwood,
and myrrh are often used on the crown chakra. Frankincense and
turmeric are used for arthritis.) |
