Silky, Shiny Hot Oil Hair Recipe

DIY Detangler moisture mix

• Aloe Vera Juice–1/2 cup
• Distilled Water–1/2 cup
• Silk Amino Acids–1/2-1 teaspoon
• Panthenol (Vit B5)–1 teaspoon
• Vegetable Glycerin–1 teaspoon
• Guar Gum–1 teaspoon
• Rosemary Essential Oil–7 drops
• Lemongrass Essential Oil–7 drops
• Blender/Small Food Processor

Add all of the ingredients in a blender or small food processor and mix on high for about 3-5 minutes.  Guar gum gives a lot of slip to this product yet also makes it feel more like a moisturizing hair jelly as it is also an emulsifier.  Use only 1/2 teaspoon of guar gum or add a bit more water/aloe vera juice if you like it to be less jelly-like and more of a liquid.  Store in a clean jar or wide mouth bottle.

Cinnamon and Honey Tip...To Help Thicken Hair

Take one tsp. Cinnamon powder

One tbsp. Real Raw Honey

Hot olive oil (you will add this until it turns into a paste.)

Apply to your hair before your shower, and leave on for 15 minutes, then wash out. Even leaving it on for 10 minutes will help.

Dry Scalp treatment

Ingredients

• 1/2 cucumber
• 1/2 avocado
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• Large cube of eggplant 

Blend the cucumber, avocado and sour cream together in a blender and scoop onto scalp. Massage the mask into your hair and scalp with the eggplant cube. Then cover your hair with a shower cap or seran wrap for a half an hour, finishing with a rinse that will leave your hair follicles moisturized and scalp soothed. If you can make it a cool rinse, all the better for a shiny result.
