Hair treaments

Well so this entry might bore you to tears (especially since I know a lot of you on my list are male) but hey, I dont really have anything else to blog about, so Im going to talk about the hair treatment Iv been trying.

I'v always kind of heard about making hair masks from things in your kitchen and have been aware that things like egg and mayonaise are supposed to be good for your hair, but have always kind of shrugged and gone "meh, it might be good I guess but I doubt its THAT great" and have never tried doing anything with it. This, despite that Im an avid fan of Lush products whos entire shtick is using fresh product like eggs and coconut and avacado and stuff. I guess by the time I figured out that I cared about this kind of stuff, I figured "Well thats cool, but why just use EGG when I could use this lush conditioner that has EGG and a lot of OTHER STUFF in it as well? Let the professionals concoct the product, they know what theyre doing"

Buut Im much too poor now for expensive organic and fresh Lush products so Iv been using run of the mill grocery store product. You know, whatever is cheapest.
Its worth noting that even when I WAS using the expensive all natural all organic all fresh stuff, Iv never ever gotton my hair exactly like the way I want. I like to tell myself "Well, thats because I have REAL hair, and the fact is that with curly hair its just never going to be sleek and shiny and unfrizy like straight hair, no matter what those stupid hair product commercials look like." But then I cry, because really, those chicks look AMAZING. Even if it IS all photoshopped to hell, theres just no way to convince myself that I am happy with my hair being dry and brittle and frizzy and clumpy.

And so all of this is why I am, at age 23, trying what all the other girls tried already at age 14. I am trying to use fresh ingrediants from my fridge. A lot of websites list many different things to try, like curry leaves, coconut cream, eggs, ect. I am sticking with two. An egg treatment combined with a vinegar rinse. Wash hair, put eggs in hair and leave eggs there for 15 minutes, rinse out with vigenar.
Do this once a week.

So far I am on week two, and I THINK that my hair seems less frizzy. But that could just be my imagination. Its supposed to make my hair "softer, shinier, longer!" too, but, Im not really expecting miracles.
