Fragile Hair
Fragile hair has often been abused so much by perms, colors, mousses, and gels that there is not much left that isn’t thin, split, or that doesn’t break on touching. It has to be treated very gently to avoid further breaking and the scalp needs stimulation to encourage new and stronger growth. Until that new growth is at the length you want it, the fragile hair needs to be treated with great care. These are the oils to use:
SHAMPOOS STIMULATING
-
Soapwort shampoo base 4 ounces
-
Lavender 2 drops Yarrow 2 drops
Mix together well, in a blender if possible. Use once a week.
CONDITIONING
-
Soapwort shampoo base 4 ounces
-
Lecithin base 1 teaspoon
-
Borage seed oil 3 drops
-
Lavender 2 drops
Mix together well, in a blender if possible. Use as needed.
Fragile Hair Conditioner
-
Cocoa butter 1 ounce
-
Lecithin base 1 tablespoon
-
Almond oil 2 ounces
-
Borage seed oil 4 drops
-
Evening primrose oil 10 drops
-
Birch oil 10 drops
-
Chamomile Roman 3 drops
Using the bain-marie method, first I the cocoa butter and lecithin. Then add almond oil, stirring all the time, add other ingredients and blend together well. Pour into a storage jar until needed.(The volumes here will provide two or three treatments.) After shampooing, leave the hair for at least ten minutes before rinsing off. Gradually this treatment will build up the remaining cells and help prevent breakage.
Protein Gel
This you use rather like face pack, but on the hair:
-
Plain gelatin ½ ounce
-
Mineral water 1 cup
-
Cider vinegar 1 tablespoon
-
Carrot oil 3 drops
-
Clary-sage 3 drops
Mix the gelatin and water together until you have a smooth liquid. Stir and leave it until it forms a gel type of substance, but don’t leave it set. Now add the vinegar, carrot, and clary-sage–this will prevent it from becoming solid. Use as a hair pack, covering the whole of the hair. Leave on for ten minutes, then rinse off thoroughly. Use once a week.
