Everybody is looking for the right hair care treatment for their hair problems. Whether you need one for dry hair or oily hair, coarse hair or scalp problems, you are looking for relief from the major issues with your hair. Dry brittle hair or an itchy scalp not only looks bad but are very uncomfortable to live with.
Here are some natural home hair treatments. When your hair needs strength, moisture and stimulation, use this avocado mixture. Smash up half an avocado and add 2 tbsp. of real mayonnaise and peppermint oil. Mix ingredients together and then massage into hair. Cover with plastic cap, leave on for twenty minutes and then rinse out.
For dry hair you should use olive oil. The night before you shampoo you can put olive oil on your hair and cover with a plastic cap before you go to bed. If you don’t have the time for that you could leave the olive oil on your hair for two hours with the plastic cap on, then shampoo.
One of the most important things to have healthy hair is to have a healthy scalp. If you add seven drops of each of these essential oils: peppermint, lavender, and rosemary to your conditioner, your scalp will be healthier. The peppermint opens the pores of the scalp. The lavender soothes the scalp from irritation. The rosemary increases circulation in the scalp. Perfume oils will not work in this way.
All of these treatments will help you have healthy and beautiful hair. An added benefit is they will cost less since the ingredients are readily available at your grocers and you’ll be doing at home. You don’t have to go to a fancy and expensive salon to have it done. When people ask you who did your hair, you can say, “I did it.”

Using a diffuser with picks (HAIRART T3 hair dryer attachment) pick up hair into the diffuser. Try not to touch hair too much. Mist hair with sea salt spray.
Spritz hair lightly. If ends are too frizzy, put a wax on them and crunch hair. You might want to try pins or clips with this style.
Waves
With dry hair use a setting or light hair spray. Work with about a one inch sections starting at the neck. Wrap hair around a large curling iron. Mists curls lightly, and then re-curl to hold and hold with a pin.
Use a large curling iron through the nape area, pin curling. After you reached the ear switch to a medium curling iron, then do the same pattern toward the front of the head.
When all the hair is pinned go to the first pin and start to take them out. Flip curls upside down and fingerpick curls. Use a shine pomade to finish ends.
Half Up Do
Wash and towel dry hair. Put a coin size amount of smoothing balm to damp hair. Go though to the end of the hair.

Part the way you want in the front and clip a 1 ½ inch section. From the section to the middle part of the head begin combing back.
Smooth hair with the back of the paddle brush, comb and fasten with bobby pins. Take clipped hair and fasten over the new pins. To “bling” it up use some pretty pins.

6 Tips for Healthy Hair
One of the best ways to look good is to have healthy shiny hair. Men and women know that their overall look is enhanced when their hair is at its best.
General care such as washing, drying and cutting are important in keeping hair looking its best. However, this article will discuss 6 more tips that will give your hair the look seen in shampoo commercials.
Both men and women need to have their hair trimmed regularly. Even if you decide to let it grow long, you will need to have a trim at least once every two months. As it grows out, it will probably go through lots of changes. A stylist can help you get through this challenging period by suggesting certain products or by changing your style.
Pick your shampoo carefully. A shampoo with no alcohol is best. Alcohol will make your tresses overly dry. Your shampoo should be used on the scalp and the roots. The ends are cleaned during the rinse.
Condition after every shampoo. The use of a conditioner or a crème rinse is essential after every shampoo. A conditioner is used to soften, give it a healthy shine, and add needed nutrients. A crème rinse will give you light conditioning while detangling. It also gives it a healthy shine.
Let the professionals handle the coloring process. There are numerous coloring and highlighting kits for the do-it-yourselfer. These kits provide a less expensive way to color and highlight, but the results are almost always less than you expect. Consult with a professional stylist before changing your hair color or adding highlights. Your stylist can suggest the best color for you according to your skin color. Your stylist can detect what your new color will look like when applied over your present color. The results you want will not always look like what’s on the box of the do-it-yourself kit.
Be careful when braiding. Braided styles look great and can lessen your need for constant styling for a short period of time. However, make sure that you don’t overly twist or tighten your hair. You may put too much pressure on the roots and scalp. It’s best to use natural oils rather than multiple chemicals when braiding.
The manufacturer is interested in your money. You are interested in healthy hair. Even though manufacturers offer everything you may want in their product line, do no believe them when they tell you that you must use all of their products to get the results you want. Usually a shampoo, a conditioner or a deep conditioner for those times your hair is extra dry or if you have thick hair are all you need in their product line. Of course, if you feel that you need some of their other products, then you are free to make that choice. Just make sure you are the one making the choice.
