How to stop hair damage using natural conditioning
Everything that you are doing to control your curly and frizzy hair is absolutely fine. Olive oil applied to hair or included in your diet will add elasticity and vibrancy to your hair. Mayonnaise is also known to be one of the best natural conditioners for dry hair. Don’t worry about your hair getting dry after two days, because you must wash it at least thrice a week anyway. However, you can take a few more measures to ensure that your hair doesn’t dry out too much. After washing your hair, dry it gently with a towel instead of letting it air dry or using blow dryers. Also avoid the use of flat irons, hair colors, dyes and chemical-based shampoos and conditioners. It’s also very important to keep your body hydrated all the time to prevent dry hair. So drink about two liters of water on an average every day. Heat and pollutants are also known to dry the hair to a damaging extent. Always cover your hair with a hat or a scarf whenever you step out of your house during the day. Also, curly hair ends up being frizzy if brushed. Instead, untangle your hair with the help of your fingers or use only thick-toothed combs.
Deep condition your hair or give it a deep oil massage once a week to control frizzy hair and dryness. Emu oil and jojoba oil are known for their deep penetrating ability. Being rich in omega 3 and essential fatty acids, emu oil especially hydrates the hair and the scalp. To oil your hair, you can also rub two drops of light vegetable oil, like sunflower oil, on your palms and then run your hands over your hair. Rosemary oil is also a popular and effective hair moisturizer. Make a solution by mixing rosemary oil with Burdock root and clover blossoms, and use it as an after-shower moisturizer. This will take care of the dry hair. To deal with the frizz, add lavender and peanut oil in equal proportions to the above solution. Aloe vera is also known to reduce hair dryness and frizz because of its moisture-retaining properties, so choose a hair conditioner or hair cream that contains aloe vera. After using an aloe vera product on your hair, keep your hair wrapped with a warm wet towel for about 30 minutes. All these measures should keep your curly hair frizz and dryness free for a long time.
