Repair Severely Dry Damaged Hair

I've alway had naturally curly hair. I was teased in school and was called "curly cue". I also had always lived in a high humidity environment all my life until recently when I moved to Arizona. The high dry desert had turned my hair into such dry brittle hair that I like like a scarecrow complete with straw hair.

My usual hair products such as Infusion, no longer worked, nor did any of the shampoos or conditioners marked for 'dry hair'. I could put so much of the leave-in conditioner to make my hair looked shellacked -yet still dry and stiff looking like I was wearing a cheap Halloween costume. Maybe I could go into my Wicked Witch of the West impersonation without a change of hairdo, "I want that girl and the little dog too!"

Out of desperation, one day I put baby oil on my hair just so I could comb through it. Then remembering that many people had slick shiny hair, I wondered what pomade was used. There had to be better stuff than mineral oil to put on sun damaged desert dry hair. Instead of simply googling 'Hair Repair', I decided that there were a lot of women out there who know more about hair repair than I do and went to Google Adwords Keyword Tool to see what the products were even called.

The words neem, phyto and keratin popped up. The only one that was vaguely familiar was keratin, which is what hair contains. Not being Mrs. Donald Trump I wanted the cheapest but most effective of the three hair treatments.

Neem oil seem to fit the bill for being inexpensive and multi-useful.It's a natural oil from a evergreen tree from India. The 100% neem oil can vary in price according to the manufacturers' brand. Neem oil has many uses including as a pesticide, insect repellent, and medicinal herb.

Into the next upper income bracket of products is the dietary estrogen hair products. There are many foods that already contain a high amount of Phytoestrogen content, the highest are flax and sesame seeds, soybean products and garlic. The hair products are egg and soy based, so the old wives' adage of washing your hair with an egg has borne out to be an effective homemade treatment.

Keratin is what natural hair is made. Hair straightening is called a Brazilian keratin treatment. It is also used to adhere hair extension strands with a glue gun and keratin hair glue sticks. Where does hydrolyzed keratin come from? Hooves, feathers and wool.
