Dry hair shampoo recipes



Dry hair shampoo recipes target dry skin of the scalp. They also coat the hair shaft with moisture necessary to keep the hair hydrated and healthy. 


Dry skin is easily dried, can be scaly and itchy. It lacks natural oils that normal skin type has, or the oil doesn't stay long enough on the skin to keep it coated. 


Using natural ingredients that provide moisture and hydration, and ideally lock in the oil, can help prevent and heal dry itchy scalp and dry brittle hair.

Peaches Anti-Cancer

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
