One reason to stop carrying so much is the weight of products in my travel bag. Another reason is that a hair treatment can be quite expensive to buy.

So, I have tested several home made recipes for hair treatments. There are several different kinds of treatments you can make easily yourself, and you will save a lot of money as well. Some give moisture to the hair, others make your hair softer, and so on.

My super-duper-once-a-week homemade hair treatment does not take long to make, is very cheap and will leave your hair soft and very shiny. I use this treatment once a week and my hair looks healthy and shiny every day.

Ingredients:

1/2 dl. dried rosemary leaves

1/2 dl. olive oil

How to:

1. Blend the oil and the rosemar leaves in a small pot and

2. Warm the blend over moderate heat.

3. Stir the blend during the heating up

4. Remove the pot from the heat and sieve the blend to remove the rosemary leaves

IMPORTANT: let the oil cool down enough so you can put your finger in it.

6. Apply the blend to your scalp with the lukewarm oil and wrap your hair with cling foil and cover with a towel.

7. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

8. Wash your hair until the oil is out of the hair.

WARNING: always always apply shampoo to the hair before adding water or you will “never” get the oil out.

I found one by Ole Henriksen , I made the body scrub and replaced the sunflower oil with avocado oil (because I don’t use sunflower oil and therefore never have it in my house).

The result was amazing, my skin became even softer than before I used it.

I found 2 more recipes for you to try out.

The recipes are original in Danish, here is the English translation

Ole Henriksen Spa Body Scrub

1. 3-1/2 oz (100 g) Epson salt
2. 3-1/2 oz (100 g) brown sugar
3. A bit of sunflower oil – just enough to create a soft paste
4. 15 drops essential lavender oil

You mix the salt, sugar and lavender oil, then you add the sunflower oil to a soft paste.

Ole Henriksen Body Scrub which might remove cellulitis

1. 1.7 fl. oz (50 ml) finely grained coffee
2. 1.7 fl. oz (50 ml) salt
3. 1 teaspoon (5 ml) peppermint oil
4. Sesame oil – just enough to make it creamy.

Mix the grained coffee, salt and peppermint oil, then add sesame oil until the scrub is creamy.

Ole Henriksen for your Hand and Feed Scrub

1. 3-1/2 oz (100 g) brown sugar
2. 1 teaspoon (5 ml) eucalyptus oil
3. Little sesame oil to make the mix creamy.

Mix the sugar and oil and then add the sesame oil to make it creamy.

Enjoy!

Since my skin is not that new it does need some extra care to say it the least. What is does not need is alcohol that’s for sure. Here is a non-alcohol cleansing recipe.

Avodaco cleansing oil is my favourite, it is created by Ole Henriksen thank you for sharing this with us Ole.
