Mahisha Dellinger, CEO of "CURLS," joined us LIVE on Good Day Chicago Friday morning to show us some great DIY hair treatments for all hair types!
FINE/THIN HAIR:
To add body to your thin hair, reach for an unlikely beauty beverage: beer! Mix 1/2 cup of flat beer (pour beer into a container and let it sit out for a couple of hours to deplete carbonation) with one tsp of light oil (sunflower or canola) and a raw egg. Apply to clean, damp hair, let sit for fifteen minutes, rinse with cool water.
KINKY HAIR:
Kinky hair is the toughest, but most fragile type of hair and doesn't retain moisture well: For a great moisturizing treatment that can be applied every other week, massage 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt into damp hair and let sit for twenty minutes. Rinse with warm water, followed by cool water, then shampoo.
WAVY HAIR:
Wavy hair truly benefits from moisture: Honey is a natural humectant, which means it attracts and locks in moisture. You can also add one to two tbsp of olive oil to loosen honey for easier application. Massage approximately 1/2 cup of honey into clean, damp hair, let sit for twenty minutes, and rinse with warm water.
CURLY HAIR:
Curly hair tends to get frizzy very quickly! For frizzy hair, mix 1 can of pure coconut milk (rich moisturizer - hydrates, conditions and de-frizzes hair), 1 ripe avocado (natural source of protein to replenish the protein in chemically treated hair), 2 tablespoons of pure honey (conditions and adds sheen) and 2 tablespoons of olive oil (fatty oil that moisturizes and conditions hair. Add ingredients to blender, mix at high speed until it reaches a smoothie-like consistency, may be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Apply generously and evenly to hair, smooth hair into a protective style - and enjoy your day!
