Everyone wants to have those luscious locks that we see everywhere from Hollywood starlets to glossy magazine ads (even though most of those commercialized gorgeous heads of hair are not even real hair…can we say, extensions?). Regardless of what drastic measures modern society has taken to achieve beautiful hair, having a healthy head of your OWN shiny hair is certainly attainable and more so, attainable through organic and natural measures.

However, Mother Nature already inherently has many wonderful unprocessed methods available to us. Methods, that not only offer your hair care regiment, a pure alternative, but additionally, such methods can easily be made freshly and inexpensively from your own kitchen!
