Frugal beauty tips and methods for your hair

Frugal beauty tips and methods for your hair
From Pat Veretto,

Before there were 'chemically balanced' shampoos and bottled collagen; before there was FD&C yellow and before there was glossy advertising, there was... homemade!

There were eggs and oatmeal and cucumbers; sage and lemons and peppermint; beeswax and almond paste and salt.

And there was beauty - just as much of it as there is today. I could end the story right there and have proved my point, but I know you'd rather have some hands-on proof, so here's some to try:

Homemade hair care

- Rinse your hair with a quarter cup of vinegar mixed with three quarters of a cup of warm water to restore the natural acid balance upset by alkaline shampoos. Your hair will be soft and shiny.

- Mix a half cup of plain old dish detergent with a cup (or more) of water to clean your hair and put it in a bottle with a squirt lid. There's nothing magical or special about those ingredients in most shampoo, except the pronuniciation.

- Don't wash your hair every day! You'll be washing the living daylights out of it - literally.
A natural bristle brush will tame your hair and distribute natural oils, so if you don't overwash, you don't often need a conditioner.

- If you must use hairspray, use sugar water or a lemon or orange simmered in water, strained, and put in a spray bottle.

- For deep treatment for dry or damaged hair, use mayonnaise like you would a hot oil treatment. After applying generously to hair and scalp, wrap in a warm towel for 15 minutes or more.

- Shampoo in warm (not hot) water.

- Really need gel for that style? Try unflavored gelatin, mixed with half as much water as the instructions call for.

- Don't spend money on those fancy dyes for temporary streaking and coloring. Use food coloring or powdered drink mix. You can get hues of everything from mahogany to neon orange with the right mixture.

Beautiful, healthy hair doesn't have to cost a fortune! And it's not a product of a chemical company or advertising agency, either.
