{at home hair spa} black tea & lavender anti-shedding hair rinse

May 26, 2011 at home hair spa

black tea rinses are incredible for natural hair! because black tea helps to block the hormone DHT which causes hair loss, it’s a powerhouse of a tea not only to drink but to use on your hair. black tea has more caffeine than any other teas – including green and white. that caffeine is what [...]

{at home hair spa} lemongrass dandruff treatment rinse

May 17, 2011 at home hair spa

okay, can we keep it real? dandruff is NOT THE BIZNESS. in high school i had dandruff – which now that i look back, think it was a side effect of relaxing. anyway, i digress. if you struggle with a snowflake scalp but don’t want to use a “regular” store brand dandruff shampoo, here is [...]

{at home hair spa} amped cheapie conditioner

May 4, 2011 at home hair spa

cheapie conditioners don’t really work well on my hair. and when i say cheapie i mean the 1-2 dollar bottles like suave and vo5. they do okay, but it’s surely not anything to write home about or leave me impressed. some naturals love these conditioners off the shelf, but they don’t really work that great [...]

at home hair spa: burdock, marshmallow and hibiscus leave-in and detangler

March 31, 2011 HAIR LUST

if you’ve ever paid close attention to all of the natural and organic hair products you use, you may have noticed that they contain marshmallow – like the infamous knot today. the first time i saw this and before i was into hair product ingredients as much as i am now, i was surprised. i [...]

{at home hair spa} wheat germ oil leave-in moisturizer

March 16, 2011 at home hair spa

the green stuff that is wheat germ oil. this stuff is awesome and what i mean by awesome is awesome!! if you have not used or thought about using wheat germ oil, well then i’m going to need you to rethink that. though wheat germ oil is great for salads because of it’s nutty taste, [...]

at home hair spa: (drinkable) strawberry orange hair vitamin smoothie

March 9, 2011 at home hair spa

vitamins for hair. a big thing for some who take them daily to see the return on the investment. i’ve always wanted to take vitamins. i have, really. but those horse sized pills plus a severely sensitive gag reflex makes for a bad combination. so i tried the flintstone gummies. yum. but not enough overall [...]

{at home hair spa} sparkling brush cleaner

February 22, 2011 at home hair spa

blame it on my tendencies to want to bleach everything, but i don’t like it when my brushes (and sometimes combs) have any kind of sticky residue on them. if i’m not careful and fall off of my normal cleaning schedule, my conditioner will leave a buildup on the little dips on the cushion of [...]

{at home hair spa} pH balanced-based daily leave-in spritz

February 7, 2011 at home hair spa

i’m a big fan of pH balanced conditioners. after using them, my hair feels significantly different overall than it does when the conditioner is not pH balanced. my hair has always responded best to balanced pH and i know that’s because my hair needs to have my cuticles lay back down as flat as they [...]

{at home hair spa} hemp seed oil dry hair serum

January 4, 2011 at home hair spa

yes, it’s true. the hemp plant is mary jane. but don’t fret, hemp seed oil is a great product for your hair as well as your body. actually the plant’s latin name means the “useful hemp”, so really that makes hemp oil the good mary, you know, the one who had the little lamb? hemp [...]

{at home hair spa} natural hair red frut juice rinse

December 23, 2010 at home hair spa

looking at this photo can make anyone rush to be called “carrot top.” her hair is so pretty, isn’t it??!! i’ve had redish hair before. there are pictures floating around here on the blog with my auburn and copper red hair. one thing i learned was that red hair can fade on you fast. if [...]

{at home hair spa} rosemary hot oil treatment

December 4, 2010 at home hair spa

since it’s the holidays, you’re likely to have lots of herbs and seasonings floating around your kitchen as you prep your dressings, meats and salads. but if you find yourself wondering how to use some of your herbs up, especially your rosemary, then take note and put it aside to give yourself a nice and [...]

{at home hair spa} clarifying pre-press wash

November 27, 2010 at home hair spa

the key to swanging hair when you want to wear a pressed out style is clean but not stripped hair. stripped hair will swing but is no good for your hair, so to make sure that your hair is uber moisturized but not with products on the heavy side, you can do this pre-press wash [...]
