My cousin has dry to very dry, fine, blonde, flyaway, something like 2b hair that doesn't seem to want to grow much past APL. She also has an aversion to spending time and effort on cosmetic and beauty stuff, but I have persuaded her to try a few recipes that I thought might work for her hair. I need your input though here because my hair is quite different to hers - also dry but a lot stronger, 1/b m/c, and at waist and happily growing. (also it's brown.)
The first recipes I suggested to her were:
* 1 part honey and 2 part conditioner, as an SMT treatment without the aloe (she can't get AV where she lives and I forgot to bring her some)
* a modified version of the HALO rinse with herbs: 1 litre of chamomile tea with half a teaspoon of honey, a few drops of jojoba oil and a few drops of lemon juice as a final rinse. She was worried the chamomile would dry her hair out further, but I said I thought the honey and the jojoba would countact that (?) She also asked if it's ok to leave out the lemon juice if she doesn't have any at home - do you think that would make much of a difference?
* light oiling with jojoba.
She likes her current shampoo and conditioner.
Any thoughts? Any other recipes that don't require fancy ingredients that would work for dry, fine hair?
Thanks very much! :flowers:
