2. EGGS

Eggs strengthen , moisturize and condition your hair. Eggs and egg yolks are filled with Vitamins A, D,
and E that are all amazing for shiny,healthy hair. The Fatty acids from the eggs moisturize and condition hair like no body's business.

The best way to uses eggs in hair is to add a beaten egg to your regular shampoo. and wash as normal.
Depending on your hair volume, whipped up one or two eggs and rub onto dry hair. Cover with a towel or better yet shower cap or plastic wrap and leave on for 15 minutes, then wash out.

Here's a tip: Black Strap Molasses, taken internally, 2 tsp a day can help clear up acne and strengthen hair and nails. and helps alleviate hair loss, who knew?





5.Apple Cider Vinegar

Creates very Shiny Bouncy hair.
The smell is a bit to muster at first but the apple cider vinegar scent dissipates as the hair dries and leaves very pH balanced scalp, which means really healthy hair.
Add 1Tbsp pf apple cider vinegar to 2 cups of water, shake well. After you condition, and just before getting out of the shower rinse your hair with the mixture.



Here's a tip:  boil some chamomile [for Blond hair], Rosemary [dark hair] and Nettle [any color] in the water before adding the apple cider, please strain the herbs first.
great for anyone who  needs a little extra clarifying or suffers dandruff, oily scalp or dullness.
