Handy Tips From The Message Tree

 

THIS MONTH'S TIP: Home made hot oil treatment! WOW!

Has your hair gotten dry and over processed by perms and coloring? Perhap's too much swimming this summer? Tsk, task! And you'd really love an expensive hot oil treatment, wouldn't you? Well, guess what? You can make your own treatment that's just as good and the best news is without busting the budget. If you've managed to dry up your hair with too many colorings, and too many perms or what ever the case might be, don't despair! Here's a cheap and effective alternative to those high-priced commercial Hot oil treatments.

This is really a great way to make your own:

 

Take 1/4 cup mayonnaise and combine with 2 tablespoons mashed avocado. Smooth the mixture through your hair, cover it with a shower cap or hot towel, and leave it for 30 minutes. The fats from the avocado and mayonnaise act as a great moisturizer for your damaged hair. Shampoo as usual, and your done! You're beautiful and best of all you're not broke! Until next time, Enjoy your summer!
