Natural Hair Care
Natural hair recipes for homemade hair care

I am so in love with my natural hair care regimen it’s unbelievable; and everyone should know! Let me tell you why and how I got here

Well, a long time ago I found out that my appearance is a representation of my inner me, and a soft, healthy, shiny and bouncy head of hair is what represents me best. It helped my self-confidence knowing that my appearance was really whom I felt inside

But I also realized that the hair care products I was using were not really doing that for me (that’s an understatement.) They didn’t make me happy and certainly didn’t do what I wanted them to do. Some of them did even more harm than good. My friends got me all kinds of hair care advice, recommended a kazillion different products, but nothing worked for me (…sigh)

Hair scare forest

At some point my hair and I felt we were wandering through this ginormous scary commercial hair care forest, not seeing the forest for the trees anymore. We were really lost and desperate, my hair and me…and thirsty…and broke…well close enough

And then…

…nothing really, no epiphany, no earthquake, no flashing light bulb…. The closest to an epiphany I got was a small seed planted by…hold on…my grandma. She once looked at my frizzy hair and me with her I’ve-seen-it-all-before wise and gentle eyes, shook her head and murmured that a simple dollop of olive oil did it back when…and I forgot about it, stubborn as I was/am (/am part added by my dear husband ;-)

Happy shock

After the umpteenth disappointment I sat in my kitchen using some pretty strong words that I won’t repeat right here; simply not suitable... Then, like it always happens in movies, my eye caught the bottle of olive oil on the countertop. Without thinking I walked over poured some in my hand and spread it through my hair and…it felt disgusting…at first. But when it settled and I looked into the mirror and felt my hair again, I was in total happy shock

For all these years I was into natural remedies and natural treatments of ailments and conditions, but not once considered natural homemade hair and skin care. How stubborn can a person be…

Natural Hair Reboot

That’s it really, I experimented all I could and (re)searched the whole natural hair care world (After thanking granny with all my heart…) First I used just what suited my needs and later started collecting every homemade hair care recipe I could get my hands on. My hair really got rebooted into its natural state. You know what, I even convinced my husband to join in

And we’re really each other’s hair-opposites, if you can call it that. Me with my dry black frizzy curly hair and he with his straight blond and oily hair. But we found everything we needed and more. We took the natural hair care road and started making our own homemade hair products and and never looked back...until now...When I wanted to share all my our info, I had to dig deep into our "archives" and that brought back all kinds of sweet memories
