The holidays are approaching and my hair is super dry! For those of you who don't know, I have Pomeranian-thick, curly hair. Recently, I have been using my flat iron and that has dried the heck out of my hair. Below, I have put together some recipes that you can find in your own kitchen to help hydrate your locks. The reason I love these recipes is that 1) you did not have any packaging resources that were used up 2) they are all natural (nothing that sounds like it belongs on Mars), 3) It is affordable! Hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you thought and what you make to help keep your hair looking gorgeous.
