Beauty Tip of the Week: Shiny hair

So I'm starting a new blog series called Beauty tip of the week. Every week I will share with all of you some of my all time favorite beauty tricks.

I have been kind of obsessed with having shiny hair lately so I thought would tell you guys how I have been making my hair really shiny!

Honey Rinse:

Mix 1 tsp. of honey with 3 cups of warm water. Right before you get out of the shower pour this mix over your hair. Do NOT rinse! I know what you might be thinking...my hair is going to be so sticky! It's actually not going to be sticky at all. Trust me. All this rinse will do for your hair is give you brilliant shine. It really has been working for me. My mom even asked why my hair was so shiny so I made some extra rinse for her to try and she loved it! It's so easy you to make you can just try it for yourself to see if it works on you.

How do you make your hair shiny?

Look out for next week's beauty tip of the week!

Frizz Free Hair!

I thought I would share my latest natural hair mask discovery. This hair mask is super easy to make since you will only need two ingredients. It will leave your hair frizz free for about a week! And no I'm not kidding, it really is a great mask.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of honey

1 cup of yogurt

Mix the two together and apply to your hair. Leave on for at least 30 minutes. Repeat weekly to maintain results.

Why it works:

Yogurt has protein which will help to stengthen and moisturize your hair taming those pesky fly-aways by smoothing your strands.

Honey is great at moisturizing and giving some extra shine to your hair!

This is one of my favorite natural hair masks and one of the ones I use most often.

What do you use in your hair to fight frizz?

P.s. Keep your heads up because ANOTHER GIVEAWAY is coming very soon!

Soft, Shiny, Hidrated Hair!

So I am going to share one of my favorite homemade deep conditioners ever!

It's amazing. I actually made it today and left it in my hair for about 40 minutes. I am not kidding when I say I have never felt my hair soooo soft! It is also increadibly shiny. This mask is ultra hydrating so it's perfect for dry hair like mine. I recommend doing this mask once a week to get lasting results.

What you will need:

Half of a very ripe avocado

One medium sized banana
A tablespoon of honey
A tablespoon of fresh natural aloe vera (gel or juice)
A tablespoon of almond oil

Mix everything together. I would really recommend you put your mixture through a strainer to get rid of the clumps and little pieces of banana or avocado since these tend to be very hard to remove from your hair. If you strain it it will perfectly pureed and you won't have that problem.

The reason why this hair treatment works so well it because of the mix of ingredients. The avocado, aloe vera and almond oil will give you moisture. The honey gives you amazing shine and the banana is great at making your hair soft and silky.

Give this a try, your hair will thank you!
