Let’s begin on Monday- We hate Mondays don’t we? But you would look forward to Monday mornings when you know there is a yummy way to wake your senses up and to feed your hair too. While you are busy preparing breakfast for everyone at home, we would ask you to take a tablespoon of honey and to wrap your hair strands in it. Keep the honey on your hair for about half an hour, and then head into the shower. Wash the honey off your hair under cold running water. Pat dry and let it relax. Touch your hair now! Honey hydrates the hair and protects the scalp from build up too. If you don’t have the time to do this in the morning, doing it at night before you sleep can work miracles.

Wash the mayo off under warm water first and then cold rose water to ward off the smells. Mayonnaise is beneficial in providing a shine and sheen to the strands and in also making the hair strong and bouncy too.
