An Intervention With Your Hair

 Welcome to your intervention.
Welcome to a blog created as a sanctuary to restore your strength, your endurance, your elasticity... your hair.  Today is the day that you will begin to love your tresses once more. And for those of you who have had a falling out with your locs from the beginning of time, today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Hair Guru and this is my blog "Remedies of a Hair Guru".

Now it's time to step away from those drug store shelf products you've been stocking your powder rooms with. If you could only image how much toxic waste is piled on your scalp at the moment. Let's compare your scalp to a hotel room under a black light... Got the picture? Grossed out a bit? Me too.

Sure, your ingredients are labeled on the bottle, but what about their long term effects on your scalp? Sodium lauryl sulfate, a detergent found in 90% of commercial shampoos, has been researched to have dangerous effects of the development of eye tissue in small children.SLS is used as a standard in laboratories to initiate skin irritants and long term use for fair skin is prone to be more susceptible to eczema.  Premature hair loss among men and women and thinning hair? Yes, you can account that also to SLS!

So why then are you still using those corner market products?With life as chaotic and hectic with responsibilities, school, work and the whirlwind of life in general, who has time to research what toxic little chemicals are being poured onto our scalps first thing in the morning?  By the time one gets past coffee, they're already 15 minutes behind schedule!

I have done the research. I have sourced out the products and produce necessary for you to gain back your hair ego (because we all have one!) Together we can take you back to your roots, the way Mother Nature intended.

It doesn't get any simpler than this:

Basic Shampoo

Start by mixing 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water. I have shoulder length hair and mix about 2 to 3 tablespoon of baking soda with 3 times that amount of water in a small squeeze bottle. You can adjust this depending on your hair length. 

Apply the baking soda and water mixture to dry or wet hair by starting at the roots and working to the ends.  

Let it sit for 1 - 3 minutes then rinse with warm water.
