Curly, Wavy, and Damaged Hair Treatment

Curly Hair Treatment

Curly and wavy hair is not easy to manage. However, once you learn how to take care of them, it looks very stylish. One thing is for sure, there is no one formula that fits all. Everyone has a unique hair structure and what works for one may not work for the other. So, unfortunately, you have to experiment a bit to figure out what works for you. However, do not worry, it is not too hard to figure this out. One of the ways you might be able to manage your curly or wavy hair is by applying a hair mask. Here, I will share one simple recipe that works very well. You can tweak it a bit to suit your needs. The following are the problems this hair mask will help with:

1. Dry and coarse hair.
2. Frizzy hair.
3. Breaking of hair.
4. Dandruff & itchy scalp.
5. Aging of hair and scalp.
6. Damaged hair (usually due to using too many chemical treatments).

Ingredients

• ¼ cup raw honey
• ¼ cup of coconut oil.
• ¼ cup plant oil such as Avocado Oil or Olive Oil.
  • If your hair is extremely dry, try to use Olive Oil. Remember, Olive oil is very heavy for hair and may weigh it down. Therefore, only use it if you have extremely dry hair.
• One tablespoonful of White Kaolin Clay (this ingredient is optional).

Directions:

1. Pour the honey and oil in an empty bowl.
2. Stir well to combine.
3. Apply the mixture from step 2 to damp hair.
4. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes.
5. Shampoo your hair. Make sure you use a good leave-in conditioner after this. You can look at the leave-in conditioner that I made. It took me over one year to come up with this light as a feather hair leave-in conditioner.

• Honey is also rich in antioxidants and contains minerals and vitamins, which helps to prevent damage to hair and scalp.
• Honey is well known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This may help to soothe the scalp and in treating conditions like dandruff or eczema.
