The BEST Hair Mask for dry, damaged and frizzy hair!

The Avocado Coconut Rosemary Oil Hair   Mask is a hair treatment that helps to   strengthen your hair and promote fast   and healthy hair growth. Avocado and   coconut oil are packed with fatty acids and   proteins to repair damaged hair and to   keep it moisturized from blow-drying,   coloring and everyday use of shampoos.   The secret to his hair mask is the   rosemary oil which has been used in   Mediterranean countries for centuries to   stimulate the hair follicles into   producing new hair growth. You'll notice   shiny, radiant and thicker hair when used   on a regular basis.

 First you want to take your Avocado   Coconut Rosemary Oil Hair Mask and take   out a generous amount. This of course   depends on the length of your hair, but   one to two tablespoons is a good amount.   So depending on the climate you live in   or the season, this can be liquid or   solid. So now I have about two large   tablespoons in this bowl and I'm going   to heat it up so it's completely liquid.

 The next thing you want to do is drape   yourself with a towel so you don't get   the hair mask all over your clothes.   I like to secure mine with a clip. Now I.   Can simply start by applying the   liquid oil onto your scalp.

You can   either just dip your fingers into it and do it,   or simply use a useful tool like this   one and dip it in and soak up some of   the oil. And now I'm applying it straight   onto my scalp. You want to make sure your   hair is completely saturated in the oil,   so it definitely be generous with it.   Really take your time massaging it into   the scalp.

So now that my scalp is   covered in the oil, I'm going to continue   with the midsection all the way down to   the ends. I absolutely love this hair mask   especially for the colder fall and   winter months like now when my scalp tends   to get really dry and itchy. Now I'm really   paying attention to the ends of my hair   because this hair mask is really great   with preventing split ends. If any of   your hair sections tend to get a little   more dry like   mine right here for example, just focus   on them a litte more and just add more of the   hair treatment.

Now that I've saturated my   hair completely with the hair mask, I'm   going to leave it in for a minimum of   one hour. So now that my hair has   completely absorbed the hair treatment,   I'm gonna rinse it out, but instead of   wetting my hair, I'm going to apply the   shampoo first, which is what i'm going to do   now. I'm gonna massage it into my scalp   it will lather a little bit, and then once   I add water, it lathers some more and   when I rinse it out all of the oils will   be taken with it. You will definitely   need a little more shampoo then usually   just because you're here is now extra   oily.

All right now it's time to wash it   out.   So this is how my hair looks after   rinsing out the hair treatment. It feels   amazing, it feels so nourished and strong.   I can even tell that it's hydrated all   the way to the ends.

And now it's so easy   to brush through, it's like silk.   It's just amazing! If you want healthy,   shiny here like this too, make sure to   visit www.AvivaPureBeauty.Com to get your   jar of the Avocado Coconut Rosemary Oil   Organic Hair Mask!.

It really helps to increase my curl definition, and it does a great job with clarifying It is sulfate free and silicone free and contains menthol. Shea moisture coconut and hibiscus co-wash conditioning cleanser I don't know why they said co-wash and conditioning cleanser literally means the same thing but whatever they're shea moisture They do whatever the frick they want. This is my favorite co-wash I do use cowash sometimes on the days where I don't want to shampoo because my hair is way too dry But I need to refresh my hair This is sulfate free and silicone free it contains wheat, jojoba, grapeseed, mango butter and shea butter. Now This is my favorite shampoo hands-down.

This is what I always use on all of my wash days, and it's the Shea Moisture 100% virgin coconut oil daily hydration shampoo this stuff is the bomb diggity it is sulfate free and Silicone free it also contains rose hip oil argan oil shea butter and aloe vera juice This gives me the perfect balance of cleanliness and moisture, this shampoo just never does me wrong Next conditioners and deep conditioners, and we have another Maui moisture, and this is the coconut milk conditioner This is one of the most affordable conditioners right now that are silicone free and that are mass-produced so that's why I. Chose it as one of my favorites. It contains aloe vera juice, coconut water, coconut milk, mango seed butter and guava seed oil I ain't gonna lie this doesn't have anything too special it gets the job done, and it's cheap.

Deva curl frizz free Volumizing foam now this is the old version I still haven't tried the updated version But I'm pretty sure it's similar.

Homemade Hair Treatment for Frizzy, Dry and Damaged Hair

Homemade Hair Treatment for Frizzy, Dry and Damaged Hair

Image source: http://www.yurtopic.com/style/hair/images/avocado-hair.jpg

Inadequate brushing, using industrial dyes,
certain hair treatments, chemicals used in straightening, and constantly using a flat
iron are just a few of the things that make your hair frizz. When your hair gets very dry and begins to
look frizzy and damaged, you might have a long and expensive process ahead of you to
correct it. However, there is a natural way to fight frizzy
hair. Its a capillary mask made from corn starch
that restores damaged hair, by giving it volume and nourishing the fibers.

This mask can be applied to any type of hair,
and works for both curly hair and straight hair. Look at how simple this recipe is: Ingredients 2 tablespoons corn starch
1 teaspoon pure honey 3/4 liter of filtered water
1 strainer 1 tablespoon of oil (either almond, argan,
olive or coconut oil) 1 tablespoon of natural conditioner (whatever
you have at home) Instructions Stir the corn starch until dissolved. Then lower the heat and stir until it thickens. Turn off the heat and wait for it to cool
down.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix well
to form a smooth cream. Apply to dry, unwashed hair. Massage the entire length of the hair. Make sure you apply it to the scalp too.

Cover you head with a shower cap. Apply this mask before bedtime. Wash your hair as normal the next day. Its important to remember that those with
an oily scalp shouldnt apply the cream to their scalp.

They should simply put the cream on their
hair. Use this treatment once a week. You can also use this recipe as a regular
hair conditioner. This capillary mask also works well as a massage
cream for your hair.

Just apply the mask to the hair and leave
it for 25 minutes. Finally, wash it out with a little shampoo. If youd like quicker results, use the cream
three times a week. Now that you know how to make your own treatment
for damaged hair, take advantage of the corn starch and moisturize your hair with this
home remedy..

Hair Growth Series DIY Avocado Hair Mask for Natural HairMy Monthly Hair Regimen (Week 1)

Hair Growth Series

Image source: https://content.artofmanliness.com/uploads/2013/01/testosterone.jpg

So before we get into this video I'm going to talk for a little bit. Please feel free to skip this if you don't want to hear what I'm about to say, but what I'm about to say is really important for me. So yeah, natural hair is hard. It's difficult, it's challenging, it's high-maintenance- just like me- I'm joking at the same time, it's beautiful anyone who knows me knows that I love my hair but I haven't been loving it as much recently and that is completely my fault.

For this past year I have been having this like -love hate relationship with my hair. I used to be so good with my hair, which is true. I used to be so good with it and I kept saying to myself for the past year I want to get back to that because not only did I love how my hair felt how it was growing how it was flourishing, I love how it made me feel. So, this year, I'm doing it and this channel is going to help me do it.

Hopefully along the way, I help a sister or two out there. It's going to help me stay on top of things it's going to help me help my hair be as healthy as it possibly can be opportunity so it can grow, which is what  i really want, I want to see hair growth but the most important thing for me is definitely health healthy hair will grow so I'm not too worried about it as long as I keep my hair healthy I think I'm going to be fine. Now some of you may be like oh my gosh, why is this girl going on and on about her hair listen... You must not know me anyone that knows me knows how I feel about my hair ..

My hair is a piece of me it's the one accessory that I always have to wear that's a quote I don't remember from who right now I just talked a lot. Today I'm showing you how I do my my homemade, deep treatment, all natural hair mask thing. I used it when I first started transitioning and I'm gonna start using it again Thank you for watching and I'll see you in my next video. Byeee ok so I'm going to be starting off with an avocado and if you don't have an avocado you can use a banana if you have both, you can use both and then you're going to take your three favorite oils.

Lastly you want to use raw honey again that is the raw honey. Raw honey has all the natural properties that you need for the mask. I recommend using a blender if you don't have a blender you can try to mix it out by hand- it will be a bit harder and it might be more chunky and harder to wash out. I have miss jumbo avocado from whichever Jamaican store my mother got this from and if you have a regular-sized avocado just use all of it but you know mine is just I.

Don't know why it's so big then I just add the honey and all the oils to my liking -i know what my hair needs but I will have specific measurements in the description box below and then I'm just going to blend. And then I just cleaned out one of my deep treatment hair masks from shea moisture and i'm going to use that container- when pouring it out it seems a little chunky but trust me it's not- it's very slippery and it goes really easy on your hair look at that green... Yas.  So now what you want to do is you want to get that all over your hair I concentrate on my edges- the very middle of my hair- and my ends and then I.

Just split my hair into sections and I. Just get the mask all over I just saturate it with the mask so I'm going to pin my hair up for an hour and then after an hour i'm going to do my regular wash and go and i have a video on that if anyone wants to see so that's it for this video make sure to check the description box, I put a lot of information there including the exact measurements i used for the mask - i hope you enjoyed this video thanks for watching and I'll see you in my next one.

Japanese Permanent Hair Straightening

Japanese Permanent Hair Straightening
Hey guys! As you can see, we're back at
NALU hair salon again. THE FRIZZ MONSTER IS BACK. So today I'm going to do the Japanese permanent
hair straightening which means your hair will be straight forever,
until it grows out. I can't wait to try it.

Let's go! NALU hair salon~ Hello
Hello! What's your hair like right now? Fluff levels are high again. Yeah, it's pretty fluffy. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu A while ago I did an ultrasonic hair treatment at NALU
that left my hair super silky and straight for about three weeks. I loved it, but the results didn't last too long and so they said if I did the permanent hair
straightening, my hair would basically look like that all the time even just air drying it after a shower.

So I've really been wanting to try that out, so that's what
I did this time. I'm going to start with the treatment. How does permanent straightening work? The shape of your hair shaft is determined by disulphide
bonds. If those bonds are unevenly distributed you'll have non-straight or curly hair.

By applying a chemical treatment
and breaking those bonds we use a straightener to realign the bonds
to the correct position, and then apply another chemical treatment to reseal
the bonds. Thus permanently altering the shape of your hair. Go ahead and touch it. Is it soft? When you do permanent hair straightening with heat your hair becomes kind of hard and feels a little rough.

But since we do hair treatment at the same time, your hair won't feel hard or rough. I LOVE IT. Thank you so much! Not at all, thank you. BEFORE.

AFTER Lookit! Look at this!
This is insane. Why don't you shake your head? Should I do high speed? Yeah yeah
Let's do it. So this is NALU hair salon. It's the same place we went to last time.

I'll put the link down in the description box
if you want to come here yourself. Apparently people are coming here because of
our videos. There's one over there! Hi :D
Hello! Okay, so it's been almost two months since I did the
permanent hair straightening and I just got out of the shower, as you can see. My hair is super wet still.

Even in the time of me just setting up this camera
and doing a little bit of makeup, my bangs have dried a little bit. But anyway, I'm going to do a time lapse for you today and show you what it looks like to have your hair
JUST air dry after doing the permanent hair straightening, which is what I've been doing this entire time
since I got it. I haven't put in any oils, I haven't gone back for any more treatments, I haven't done anything special to it. Just shampoo and conditioner every day.
I've never straightened it.

I just go to sleep with my hair wet and then wake up
with perfect, straight hair every single time. So I'm going to do a time lapse today and show you
guys what it's like. It's gonna take me like three hours. This much hair takes a little while to dry.

And there's only one thing I can think of that would
make me okay sitting in the same exact position for three hours straight. Did I not get this? Oops All right guys, take care of him! Let's get to it! So I'm finally done with the time lapse. To tell you the truth, that's actually the third time lapse
I tried. I tried three different days because turns out it takes a really, really long time for my hair to
actually, completely dry by air.

Usually I just sleep most of it off during the night. So this time I used a fan to help it along the way. It still took a few hours BUT it's finally, actually dry this time. And this is what it looks like! So, just air drying.

Two months after permanent hair straightening. It's super soft and silky feeling. Like I haven't even brushed it. I could brush it but I don't even really need to because it's just so flowy, soft.

It's not knotting, getting knotted by itself at all. So if you ever wondered what the secret is to
super straight, non-frizzy hair, this is it! It's permanent hair straightening. I don't know why people don't talk about it more. I'm sure a lot of people actually do it.

Ever since I started mentioning it I've heard other
people say that they do it. So I'm just thinking back to all the time I spent
making videos with my crazy frizzy hair getting out of control and stuff and why, why did it take me so long to do this? I think it cost about $180 where I did it. I've heard that you may need to start touching up
the roots around 6 months afterward because your hair will grow out a little bit and it'll be more noticeably frizzy on top than it is down
on the bottom. But I'm not there yet.
I'll let you guys know when I get there! So this is basically the best thing that's ever
happened to my hair.

This is like as low maintenance as you can possibly get. So if this is the kind of hair you want to have
then I highly recommend doing this. I'll keep you guys updated when I get to the point where I
need to go back for touch ups and stuff. But yeah.

Thank you guys for watching! Bye!.
