Why Is Our Hair Frizzy?

It lacks oil.  




Try drenching hair in coconut oil or castor oil or olive oil.  Do this at night before bed and sleep on satin pillow case or sleep with a satin bonnet or scarf.  Stop burning out your hair with the flat iron, blow dryer and hot comb!

Drink Beet Juice for Healthy Hair


Nutritional Value of Beets

Beet roots are high in folic acid and manganese. The green leafs are high in vitamin A (127% RDA), Vitamin C (50% RDA), vitamin K (500% RDA) as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium.

Reliefs Skin Problems

Drinking beet juice regularly may be beneficial in the prevention and cure of inflammations including skin inflammation like acne. The juice also helps eliminate blemishes and promotes healthy skin and hair growth.

Best Way to Enjoy the Benefits of Beet Juice

Raw

As mentioned earlier, it is important to consume beets raw. The powerful betalain reduces significantly when cooked and the oxalic acid may form calcium stones when heated.

Juice

Drink beets as a juice. Beet juice goes well with carrots, cucumber and celery.

Salad

Peel, grate and eat as a salad (i.e. with raisins, grated carrot and apples!)

Pickled

Peel, grate and add purified water, apple cider vinegar (unpasteurized), sea salt, stevia or raw agave (and herbs). Let stand for at least 8 hours or overnight at room temperature.

Hair Care Arsenal

Giovanni Direct Leave-In™ Weightless Moisture Conditioner  (My hair love this!)
Massage Warehouse for a liter (33.814 ounces) it is $13.26 + $8.65 (s&h) + tax ? = $21.91  or
Puritan Pride for 8.5 ounces.  If you wait to get free shipping (that happens quite frequently) you can buy 4 of these and pay a little under $20 for 34 ounces.  So to me, it is better to buy it from Puritan Pride.  You get more bang for your buck.
