What to do with those old brown fruits...

2009-03-22T11:57:00.004-08:00

Using last weeks brown fruits, you can make the best at home hair conditioner!

Just mash up one banana and half an avacado.
Let sit for about 15 min. or so. (and don't think the longer the better, cause it loses its potency after 15 min. really).
Rinse.
And now you should have shiny, hydrated hair.

The smell does go away quickly so don't worry about that, and DON'T shampoo immediately, or you would have just reversed everything you just did. This could really save you money so your not throwing away food, and healthy hair is so much easier to manage, and not to mention just look fabulous.

At home, all natural, non-damaging subtle highlights

2009-03-10T18:46:00.000-08:00

For blonde highlights:

Do this on a sunny day. If your hair is dishwater blonde or a lighter shade of brown, you can create blonde highlights by treating your hair with lemon juice. Either bottled juice or fresh will work. Wash your hair with your favorite shampoo. Then pour about 1/2 cup of bottled juice or the juice of one or two lemons over your hair. Comb it through to distribute well.

Apply sunblock generously to your skin and go outside. After an hour of sunbathing or puttering in the garden with your hair exposed to the sun, shampoo again and apply conditioner.

Lemon accelerates the effect of sunbleaching. While it doesn’t seem to cause damage, it brightens your hair and leaves you with subtle blond highlights.

For red highlights:

Mix cider vinegar or wine vinegar about 50-50 with water. After shampooing and rinsing well, pour the vinegar over your hair and massage it through the hair. Rinse well and follow with a good conditioner.

Vinegar effectively removes all detergent residue from clean hair. It also brings out the reddish highlights in auburn and brown hair.

Avoid getting either lemon juice or vinegar in your eyes! Lemon juice works best on hair that’s already on the light side; vinegar accentuates reddish highlights in darker hair.

Lemons lemons lemons! oh my

Yup im back now, sorry for me being gone so long, but now I'm going to keep posting.

Lemons are amazing for the skin, and fix many different problems. Mainly its helps reduce the size of pores, cleans and exfoliates, and helps remove and prevent blackheads. Just cut a thin slice of a lemon and massage onto face. Let sit for 10 - 30 min. depending on your skin type.

Man I love this stuff, but be CAREFUL I left it on overnight and it exfoliated too much and my skin was red and irratated for a while (prob like 1 wk.). But other than that, it's one of the simplist and cheapest skin care product.
