Samira Asemanfar,
owner of the hair mask bar TheBroot,
taught us how to treat our hair woes the natural way, and shared some remedies
for organic DIY at-home treatments to boot.
Brittle Hair
"Add protein to your diet," suggests Asemanfar. "Eggs, poultry, or beans will help keep your hair strong and growing."
Fine Hair
If you have thin hair,
banana, egg, and oils work wonders. "The banana is one of nature's best
remedies, while the egg is a mighty protein that will give your hair the
strength, shine, volume, and texture of your dreams. Oils add strength and
moisture."
Strengthening Hair Mask
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Banana
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp. Honey
- 2 oz. H20
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Banana
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp. Honey
- 2 oz. H20
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in blender; apply and leave on for 30 to 45 min or 15 to
20 min with a thermal heat cap; thoroughly rinse out all mixture from hair;
wash with shampoo; condition and do a final rinse with cool water close the
hair cuticle to seal in the moisture.
Hair Loss
Vitamins B-6 and B-12 should be
your new best friends if you want to get your hair's growth cycle back in gear.
Eat dairy and meat products such as milk, yogurt, and poultry to get those B
benefits.
Frizzy Hair
"Rinse with the coldest
water you can bear, close the hair cuticle," says Asemanfar. "This
will make hair look sleek and helps tame frizz for a smoother finish."
Split Ends
"Straight hair is prone to
split ends and should be treated gently," says Asemanfar. "Brush out
your hair before wetting and applying any treatment to prevent knots and
breakage."
Coarse Hair
Mayonnaise and avocados are
natural deep conditioners that will give your scalp a little TLC, in addition
to promoting hair growth.

Dry Hair
"Try adding a little bit of honey to your conditioner as a remedy," suggests Asemanfar. "It is a humectants that will seal in moisture and deliver the deep cleanse your hair is craving."
Oily Hair
Stay away from applying too much of any product to the scalp, as it causes overproduction of oils. Also, keep clear of any deep conditioning products-a basic conditioner in small quantities added to the ends of hair will do the trick.
Dry Scalp
Try using the terrific trio of
oils (coconut, jojoba, olive) to send an itchy scalp and dandruff packing.
All Hair Types
Lets be real: Everyone has
hair issues! "You'll usually find that the people who embrace their hair's
natural characteristics [texture, body, and color] have much healthier
locks," says Asemanfar. "Avoid harsh chemical processes that
permanently alter your hair, and embrace organic ways to bring out the best in
your tresses!"
