Adventures of a Makeup Junkie: Hair Care

I would do anything in the name of beauty. When it comes to trying out homemade beauty recipes I’m totally up for it. How many of you have read those articles in fashion mags on how to achieve healthy, shiny looking hair by mixing together a few ingredients right from your own kitchen? I remember trying out a few of them and thinking I would never do it again. The banana honey hair mask: mash a ripe banana, add some honey and apply to damp hair. All I have to say is YIKES! I found chunks of banana tangled in my hair weeks later. When I said I would never do it again, I didn’t mean it. I also tried the egg conditioner which was a bit iffy. I love to take boiling hot showers and the last thing I wanted to find is scrambled egg in my hair! But of course I tried it and it stunk!

So, after searching high and low I’ve finally found the perfect solution for dry, colour treated, frizzy hair without playing the role of a chef. It’s Ojon’s Restorative Hair Treatment, ($25-$70).


It doesn’t look the greatest, kind of like creamed honey and smells quite strong but let me tell you, it works. If you’re looking for shiny, manageable, healthy, strong hair you have to try this. Unlike most treatments, you apply this to dry hair and you don’t need a lot because it’s very concentrated. You can leave it in for 20 mins or overnight depending on how damaged your hair is and then follow with a deep cleansing shampoo. Oh and it’s made from 100% Ojon palm nut oil, so if you’re allergic to nuts, please avoid. Every time I use this I get tons of compliments. If you've tried it, let me know what you think.

I'm curious to know, have you tried any homemade beauty recipes?
