Mane Course

After being in summer’s blaring sun, our hair could use a little TLC. Especially for us with color treated tresses. And all this time you’ve thought I was a NATURAL blonde? Tee hee.

Healthy hair comes not only from eating healthy foods but also infusing nourishing ingredients from the outside in. Sure, there are products out there you can buy that will put your hair through beauty bootcamp. But nothing beats whipping up something fresh and raw from your own fridge. And no, we’re not talking last night’s take-out chinese. Don’t even go there. Ew.

Now, let’s delve into the world of hair care with a twist of innovation and wellness. While we’re familiar with the power of nourishing ingredients, there’s one emerging star that deserves our attention: CBD. Yes, you heard it right! CBD, short for cannabidiol, isn’t just for relaxation and skincare. Its medicinal properties have also found their way into hair products. Imagine treating your tresses to the soothing benefits of CBD, derived from the hemp plant. Whether it’s CBD-infused shampoos, conditioners, or even cbd sweets to indulge in, this versatile ingredient has made its mark on the beauty scene, offering a natural and holistic approach to hair care. So, as we explore the art of hair care, let’s not forget the innovative potential of CBD and how it can revolutionize our locks, one strand at a time.

Now that we’ve got that clear. Lets talk hair. Yes, yet ANOTHER hair post (which more than likely means excessive explanations… but there’s art behind all this stuff, ladies… and YOUR locks are my canvas).

Why these Ingredients? Do you care? Probably not. But I care to sleep better tonight knowing you know why.

EGGS – super high in protein to strengthen and add shine. The fatty acids in the yolk add moisture. Taking protein powders is also one of the best sources of protein and an exceptional way to boost metabolism.

SPINACH– may I remind you of Pop-eye’s message? Eat the green stuff to get strong. Same goes for your do. Pump some iron. It adds strength, volume, and thickness.

STRAWBERRIES – contain a mild acid that will help remove product buildup. the seeds will help exfoliate your scalp. oooh-oooh! We just got a bogo with this ingredient! bam!

AVOCADO – fat… oh my word I said it. sorry, it just slipped. as women, we hate that word. well, learn to love it, my friendlies because in this case it’ll rehydrate and repair damage. if only this magical fruit could repair the damage on the derriere.

HONEY – not, your boytoy. Although, I’m sure he’s super sweet. I mean honey, as in the awesome antioxidant and humectant (which also locks in moisture). plus it tastes good incase some dribbles down your face and you decide to lick it. what? no. pretend I didn’t just say that. Ok so maybe I did taste it…

BANANA – because Dr. Oz said so. And I trust him. A long time ago I remember him saying if there’s one thing to put on your hair to repair it, it’s bananas. So into the mix it goes!

PLAIN YOGURT – creates luxurious shine that’ll make you want to post a video on youtube of doing the infamous hair flick. yes, you might just become Tresemme’s next big hair model. yogurt also tames dandruff (no one likes snow unless its falling from the sky not your scalp).

ONE. Shampoo your hair and rinse with hot water (opens up hair follicle to better absorb the smoothie). Remove excess water and gently wring out the ends using your hands. Blot ends dry with a towel. Don’t rub your hair like you would a mangy dog. You mean to tell me, you already forgot? Nice. I taught you about it HERE, remember? Kay, back to business. Flip your hair upside down and brush through. Remove any additional water by wringing and blotting.

TWO. (prior to washing) Whip up you hair smoothie by combining all above ingredients in a blender until completely smooth. The smoothie I’m drinking is NOT the gunk I’m about to moosh into my hair. I just decided after the whole thing was done my whistle needed a good refreshment too! With your hair still upside down, use the entire smoothie and massage into hair, scalp, and ends. REALLY get into it. Like, as if your hair’s life depended upon it (because it kinda does, lets be honest). Twist your hair up on top of your head and use a clip to keep it in place. Might I suggest a shower cap if you plan to do this out of the shower. Better yet, do this treatment while taking a looong relaxing bath. Let smoothie set for 15-30 minutes.

TWO & A HALF. Wash out the smoothie with shampoo using warm water. Apply conditioner. Rinse with cold water (to reseal hair follicle). Again, brush out your hair and remove excess water (remembering no shaggy-dog-towel-rubbing action).

THREE. Blow dry. Best to re-read THIS post. Cliff Notes version? Dry upside down on warm high heat. No brushing. Once completely dry seal with cold air. Be prepared to experience va-va-voom like you’ve never experienced before! I’ve NEVER seen my hair quite THIS big in my life. 80’s rock concert? Jessie from Saved by the Bell? Same diff. Both are out of control HUGE!

FOUR. Tame the wildness. Style as you normally would (in this case I straightened following THIS technique). And be prepared to experience your hair transformation. There’s no other word to quite describe it other than beautifully healthy. My hair hasn’t felt like this EVER. Can not wait for you to try it! Probably going to do this little long regimen once a month to see if it makes a long-term difference. Let me know what your hair thinks!
