Tips

  • Keep in mind that overly washing your hair is not good for it!!! Try to wash it once every 3rd day if you can. By washing your hair all the time you are not only getting rid of dirt but also of important natural oils. Your scalp begins to compensate by developing more protective oils and as a result you wash your hair even more which strips it of its natural protection.
  • When applying conditioner remember to only do so “ponytail down”. Imagine putting your hair up in a ponytail, now only put conditioner on the part of your hair that is hanging down. Do not apply conditioner to your roots; this will make your hair become oily faster.
  • If you are using lemon or lime to add highlights to your hair, although this technique may work on its own, it is most effective when you also sit out in the sun after doing this.
  • Avoid storing natural ingredient products for too long; they're best used when made or kept in the refrigerator for a few days, unless the instructions indicate otherwise.
  • Use the egg shampoo within 6 hours of preparation.

Warnings

  • As with any preparation used directly on your skin, always patch test an area before using. Even "natural" products can cause allergic reactions.
