Jessica Najera has beautiful curly locks, which as we all know can be a little difficult to manage, especially in the summer. Check out her tips and even a DIY hair mask that can work wonders.
We all want what we can’t have. If you have slick straight hair, you dream of big, bouncy curls. If you said curls, you dream of pin straight hair. I was personally one of those girls growing up. I was born with big natural curly hair that I loved. People would always tell me how beautiful my hair was. But when I got older, I began to hate my curly hair.
Everyone I knew had straight hair. I wanted my hair straight because it made me feel sophisticated, and curly hair made me feel like a little girl. So I started straightening my hair. Right away I was addicted, not knowing, in the long run, I would ruin and damage my curls. After a while, I began to notice a big change when I would wear my hair naturally. My curls were no longer curls, but just little flat waves. I panicked! I wanted my curly hair back; but how was I going to get rid of all this heat damage? First, I cut a big chunk of the heat damage off. After searching and searching, product after product, I finally came across the perfect hair mask.
1 Egg
Instructions:
1. Melt down 1 – 2 tablespoons of organic virgin coconut oil
2. Mix it with 1 egg – beat until smooth
3. Rub in hair & leave in anywhere from 30-60 minutes
4. Wash it out and shampoo & condition per usual
The egg is naturally filled with protein and just like your body, your hair needs protein. The coconut oil helps with the loss of protein in the hair, strengthens it, gives it shine, and helps with heat damage. One important tip is to make sure you get “Organic Virgin” coconut oil. Also make sure it’s cold pressed, that way all the natural goodness is still in the oil.
