Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Amelia, and I'm going to talk to you about, natural treatments for dry hair. If your hair is on the dry side, whether it be from over processing, the environment, or whatever, you really need moisture, and moisture is not necessarily water, it can be oil, it can be mayonnaise works great, but really olives and mayonnaise, is oil and eggs, so you can kind of do that at home. Olive oil, a wonderful tool, works great in hair. You just take a little bit, put it in your hands, now if you're not so keen on the smell, you can get some essential oils and add it to that, some lavender, some tea tree, anything like that, ylang ylang, anything that'll sort of make it smell not so much like a salad. Then you would just work it through, let it sit 30 minutes with heat if you want, or you can just walk around with it in your hair. This is a great thing to do if you're at the beach, because the sun really bakes that olive oil in, and then that way it's not quite so difficult to shampoo out when you get home, because it certainly can be. Mayonnaise is a real pain to shampoo out, so that's why I don't recommend that one. Avocado and olive oil are great mixture, because avocado has got a lot of natural fats in it, and those fats and lipids go into the hair, and help add a lot of moisture. Macadamia nut oil, coconut milk, any of these things, any of these natural emollient and naturally fatty, tree, nuts, oils, anything that's can be found in nature, that's naturally fatty can be used as a conditioner for your hair. I don't recommend doing these everyday, because they do tend to be heavy, and they can weigh your hair down. So finer hair types, I don't really recommend something like olive oil, you might want to try something a little bit lighter, like apricot, or almond oil. When you're done putting it all over your hair, you can then rub it into your body and your skin, because it's great for moisture of all types. But by using some of these products, you can definitely add some moisture to your hair without spending a fortune on artificial products that can be found at the drugstore. So these are some great natural tools that you can use to add moisture to your hair."
