All-Natural Hair Serum For Frizzy Hair

Aside from the most basic tips for taming frizzy hair (condition + don’t abuse heat styling + avoid plastic hair brushes/combs) if you want your hair to look sleek and shiny, getting your hands on a good hair serum is a must. The problem with most anti-frizz hair serum is that despite the claims “enriched with exotic, hair-reviving oils” the ingredient lists often suggest otherwise. If you look at the ingredients of 5 random hair serums from your local drugstore you’ll realize that the only thing they are "enriched with" is petroleum byproducts and all sorts of silicones. And even if there is indeed “exotic oil” included in the formula, it’s often in very low concentration, hence your hair doesn’t get to benefit from it at all...

Here is where beauty gurus, keen on DIY, come to save the day! In a guest blog post for Body Unburdened Alex from DIG Primal teaches you how to make your own frizz-taming hair serum with 3 ingredients only! Super easy and effective!

DIY Dry Shampoo Spray

While dry shampoos have been used for ages, the first commercially available one was released in 1940. Nevertheless, only in the last few years is when dry shampoo started getting really popular. Nowadays, almost every modern woman has one in her handbag and one in her bathroom. Dry shampoos save you time and effort + they are ideal for those moments when you don’t have time for your wash-dry-style routine.

If you search for dry shampoo recipes online, you’ll see that most of them offer final product in powder form, which in my opinion is not very convenient. You need a special brush to apply it, the dust gets everywhere and it’s just… too messy. Hello Glow has the perfect alternative – dry shampoo in a spray bottle. Just like the one you usually buy, but with safer and greener ingredients!

Growth Boosting Hair Mask

Truth be told, when it comes to speeding up hair growth, the most important thing you must do is to make sure you nourish your locks from the inside i.e eat enough proteins, vitamin-rich food and drink plenty of water. Nonetheless, providing nutrients from the outside, can benefit your hair just as much and should not be underestimated as factor for better hair growth. If you want stronger, longer and healthier hair a rich, deeply nourishing hair mask is what you need! Check this one from The Herbal Healing Mama.
