The former RBD singer, Maite Perroni is very busy these days acting, which is why when it comes to her hair, she likes to keep it simple. Like many of us that grew up with grandma close by, she too picked up a couple of beauty home remedies that she still does to this day.
“In reality, the only thing I do is dry my hair and sometimes not even with a hair dryer I just let it dry on its own,” says Perroni to People en Español. “I don’t add any chemicals at all. I don’t like sprays or gels, I don’t like any of that.” Perhaps that’s why her hair looks so healthy because she doesn’t oversaturate it with chemicals which often damage your hair.
On most days she just washes her hair and applies a hair treatment that helps keep her hair hydrated throughout the day. Her grandmother gave her a home remedy that she still uses to this day and it includes tomatoes.
“You slice it in half and you start brushing tomato oil against your hair as if you were combing it, then you wrap your hair in a towel or aluminum foil and you leave it a couple of minutes so that it starts to hydrate your hair,” she explains.
Just make sure you don’t apply too much to the roots because it might clog them and give you all sorts of problems. Once you’ve done this, rinse your hair and it should feel shiny and hydrated. She recommends that you do it on a day when you’re not too busy and you have some time to spare. It’s a great idea to do it a day before you have an event that way your hair will require very little maintenance.
Why tomato? Tomatoes are a great source of Vitamins A and C, iron and antioxidants. It helps preserve dull hair, giving it the shine and bounce you want. It also helps get rid of an itchy scalp and dandruff.
So now you know what to do with leftover tomato, even though eating it has plenty of benefits too!
