Hair Care in the Pantry?

Hair Care

in the pantry?

by Margaret DeStefano

With so many hair care products on the market today, no wonder it is easy to be confused. A number of inexpensive and time tested hair care aids can be found right in your kitchen pantry. Here are a few to get you started:

1) Cornstarch: For a fast, dry shampoo, spread cornstarch into your hair; leave it on for 5 minutes, then brush it out. 2) Lemon Juice: Use as a rinse after shampooing to lighten and brighten blond hair. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a cup of water and work into hair. Rinse with water. 3) Vinegar: To make brunette hair shine, mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar in a cup of water; apply and rinse with water. 4) Mayonnaise: To condition hair so that it's smooth and shiny, coat hair with mayonnaise, pin it up, and wrap in plastic wrap. Leave on for 30 minutes, then shampoo.
