hi can you use two at the same time?
thanks so much for yr infomation.
Jessie:
The hot oil treatment is great for dry hair. You can also use the enriching conditioner on a more regular basis to add hydration and shine to your locks!
My hair is kinda dry so wil this help?? :)..And if that question was stupid sorry i'm still young :D
You can use regular water if you have no distilled water. If you don't have avocado, you can just use mayonnaise, or try one of the other hair treatments.
Hey do u have any alternative for Avocado....and can i replace distilled water with normal tap water or boiled water????
Would this be good for a spa party?
will try it....
Hey thanx it was aweasum to have tis many advise n it realy workd thanxs...:)
I WILL ALSO TRY IT AT HOME
for the enriching conditioner is it supposed to be a liquid
I am a woman who has a problem with hair since my hair straightened. Thank you for your really nice information.. :)
Fantastic hub,thanks for sharing.
I am using it now the one with egg we will see what happens lol thanks. I saw something like this on the Doctors show.. Ive been wanting to try it.
hi is there another substitute for spearmint leaves?
hi for the oil reducing toxic ....could i use peppermint essence oil or eucalyptus oil? please reply asap :D
I did the hot oil but used lavender instead of rosemary and added a little chamomile for the scent and it was fantastic! also i made a hair tonic with 1 16.5 oz bottle od filtered water about 1/2-3/4 cup lavender and about 1/4 cup of chamomile, simmered it on med-low heat untill it was really fragrant, strained it and added 1 tsp vanilla for the scent and put it in a spray bottle. I spritz it on my hair for the nuishing properties of the lavender and it smells great!
Mayo and eggs have long been known for thier reparing and nurishing properties in hair, i think it is the amount of raw protien thats in them, just dont rins with really hot water if using eggs, my aunt accadentally did that to her sister when they were young and cooked the eggs into her hair!
BTW there really isnt a replacement for avacado that i know of, avacados are awsome for your hair! i can get them and my grocery store, if you are desperate you may be able to use guacamole but you will smell like garlic, which by the way is very good for you but also very stinky!
i love love love the facial and body scrub ideas! the hair ones sound great too but i was wondering if you knew anything for damaged, frizzy, curly hair?
Mayonase???? really?? yuk!
Won't it make your hair stinky if you used eggs?
Great ideas here. Homemade and natural hair treatments are so much better than overpriced, synthetic products. I'll never go back!
yupp... i will try this todayy.. n thnx ...
can these treatments be used for rebonded hair ?

You could use two in succession, but if you're asking can you mix two recipes together, the answer is no.
