Hair care - Nourishing hair conditioner recipes for dry hair.


A moisturizing and nourishing hair conditioner is a must in order to control dry hair and scalp.

There are many causes of dry hair. The outside, environmental factors, what we eat, blowdrying, dying the hair, iron curlers...


Not any oil added to the recipes will do though. Some oils leave a greasy residue which you certainly don't want. Oils such as coconut moisturize enough and also create a protective layer on the hair shaft that will lock in the moisture. You will also find olive oil as one of the ingredients. Olive oil is a wonderful nourishing ingredient, used in body and skin care. It nousishes the hair shaft and also adds to its elastisity which dry hair often lacks.

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.
