Swimming Pool Hair Remedy

There's nothing better than taking a dip in the pool on a hot summer day, but the chlorine and chemicals can be harsh and damaging to hair. This hair care potion will protect your locks -- and help blonde hair from turning green.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons baking soda
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon mild shampoo
*Yields 2 ounces -- enough for one treatment

Directions: Mix together all the ingredients until well blended. Wet hair and massage the mixture onto your hair and scalp, making sure hair ends are coated. Cover hair with a plastic bag or shower cap and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse hair well and shampoo as usual.

I have just started to use natural methods for hair and body. I feel it will be much healtier for me this way since I know what I'm putting on me.

Olive oil works as a make up remover and a deep hair conditioner.

Going to make the gentle eye makeup remover tonight! Sounds right up my alley for being gentle.

by Ydabney Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 11:59AM Report as inappropriate

@Chicharringuis..... do you just you that oil or do you substitute it for on of those oils?

by jessicalove Monday, July 23, 2012 at 10:25AM Report as inappropriate

You can also use grapeseed oil as makeup remover, I find it much more gentler and it suits my acne-prone skin

Corn mask is new to me. Tried melon (as well as cucumber) before. It has a cooling effect. Nice tips though.

I wish more of these were more available instead of having to look at a seed store or online. I love DIYs though and I'm especially eager to try the tea.

does lemon juice contributes to lost of hair colour? Especially for redheads? Ay thoughts about that?

by OrganicBeautyAu Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 06:43AM Report as inappropriate

Does the watermelon toner spoil? Do you have to keep it in the fridge?

by Statsurfgurl Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 10:16AM Report as inappropriate

The Watermelon Clarifying Face Toner sounds awesome! I'm going to give it a try.

I'm always forgetting to eat the avocado. Now I've found a great use for it!

by DanaPowers Saturday, May 8, 2010 at 09:59PM Report as inappropriate

VODKA?! I think not. Haha, I wonder how I would look at the checkout counter with a bottle of vodka, claiming it's for my face. Also, you don't need all those oils to remove your makeup. All you need is olive oil. Why all the extra?

by moroselove Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 03:37PM Report as inappropriate

add a sprinkle of your favorite blush to make it tinted!!

by Sparkl125 Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 03:27PM Report as inappropriate

Oh the one for the pool hair is great! I've spent many summers with green hair! Yuck!
