RECIPE USING "ENVIROCARE" HAIR PRODUCTS

From your local health food store, ask the assistant or locate the natural hair products within. I have a large bottle of "Envirocare" hair and body cleanser. It is PH neutral, contains no fragrance; has no color and contains no Sodium Laurel Sulphate. This is the ingredient that causes scum build up in the bath and shower. I use my own essential oils with this shampoo to create a scented shampoo that is safe for everone in my family to use. It also comes in a conditioner too.

Although this product is made in Australia, a similar product will be available in your local area.

CONDITIONER RECIPES

Conditioning your hair ensures that your natural hair oils are allowed to replenish after it is shampoo'd.

HOMEMADE CONDITIONER FROM THE CUPBOARD

Bowl or plastic jar/container
1 teaspoon baby oil or good quality olive oil
1 egg yolk
1 cup water

Beat the egg yolk until it forms soft peaks.
Add oil then begin beating again.
Add the water to the mixture.
Massage into hair and into your scalp, leave for a few minutes then rinse off.

AVOCADO CONDITIONER

This is a great conditioner for fine and dry hair.

1/2 ripe avocado
1 egg yolk
5 ml avocado oil (available from health food store)

HAIR CLEANSER

For those of us who use a lot of hairspray or wax products in our hair, this cleanser is great to clean out all these potentially damaging chemicals.

1/2 cup baking soda
1 cup warm water

Combine both ingredients and massage into hair and scalp. Leave for a couple of minutes and then rinse with warm water.

Whichever recipe you choose to try first, remember that in the long run your hair and body will thank you for using the more natural and safer alternatives.

If you don't like some of the scents created or suggested above in the recipes, why not try adding a couple of drops of your favorite perfume to your mixtures.
Your scent will become naturally imbibed in your hair, and one small whip of your tresses will have a lovely scent for all to smell.
