| Wine Colored Forest on a Winter Night by MollysMuses |
In the winter, my hair gets dried out from the lack of humidity. Okay, so maybe my hair gets dried out and frizzy even when it's not winter, but it seems to get worse with the cold weather and strong winds. Since I have semi-long hair, sometimes I need a little help from moisturizing oils to keep it looking smooth and soft, which is why I made a simple hair mask that keeps for up to a year or longer (if kept in a cool, dry place away from sunlight). I use sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, and jojoba oil, which are all rich in vitamin E and have great moisturizing and nourishing properties and can be used on the skin as well (recipes for another time!). Just combine, massage into your hair and scalp, put on a plastic shower cap, and go about your usual activities for 30 minutes or longer. If you have time, wrap a towel around your head (over the shower cap), and lounge for a few hours. The heat from your head is insulated by the towel, giving your hair a nice, warm treatment. When you're ready, wash out your hair with shampoo and smile!
