Winter hair
- Wash your hair less often so as to strip less of the hair's
natural oil.
- Use a dry shampoo if you need to wash. One way to have a dry
shampoo is to sprinkle some baby powder onto your hair & comb
it off.
- Deep condition once a week. Try massaging your scalp with 4
tablespoons of honey & cover with a plastic bag for 15 minutes
or more then rinse off totally with hot water.
Static
- A leave-on conditioner or hair mousse can get rid of static.
Hair static is caused by a lack of hair moisture.
- Brush with natural & not plastic bristles.
- Get a sheet of fabric softener & wipe across your hair.
It helps control frizz too.
Hair loss
- Try drinking this - blend bananas with honey, yoghurt &
low-fat milk. A drink rich in biotin can help keep your crowning
glory firmly rooted.
- Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc & saw
palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from
natural food sources (see Nourishment).

This helps promote blood circulation to the head.

hair!

acid, sulfur & zinc pyrithione. Use on alternate days.

then shampoo.

- After washing your hair, massage your scalp with half a cup
of apple cidar vinegar. Leave it there, don't rinse off. Do this
for a week.

water with 2 tablespoons of dried thyme for 5 minutes & leave
to cool. Strain then massage onto hair & scalp. Don't rinse
off.

Isabelle Navarre-Brown recommends the noni scalp treatment by
applying noni fruit juice directly onto the affected scalp, massage
for a couple of minutes, leave to dry. Noni can be left overnight
or a few hours or it can be rinsed off after about 20 to 30 minutes.

acids that help counteract hair & scalp trauma. It contains
antioxidants that fight against free radical damage to the hair
& scalp & may end chronic hair problems.

anti-lice medication (lotion, cream or shampoo), using essential
oils such as herbs thyme & rosemary, manual removal &
getting a hair cut.

coats with hoods, clothings & etc... in hot water.
