DIY Intensive Hair Cleanser

February 6, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 9 Comments

This week I have decided is “Hair Week” So I will be sharing quick and simple hair recipes/ techniques for all of this week.

Have you ever noticed when you use a particular type of hair product with time your hair just does not style like it used to the very first time you used it?

This is because…………….

Through every day use of styling products with time a build up of product is accumulated.

Use this DIY Intensive Hair Cleanser once a week/fortnight to dissolve and remove any residues.

Quick, cheap and easy your hair will thank you for it.

½ cup baking soda.

1 cup of warm water.

  1. Dissolve the baking soda into warm water.
  2. Pour over your hair and massage it into your hair
  3. Rinse well

    I just did this…lately I haven’t been using any product in my hair as I have been home a lot, but when I do it is curl gel. So I have just been washing and blowdrying. My curls aren’t as bouncy as they used to be or even as curly. I just did the was and my curls are back! Without any pruduct! Thank you. :o)

    I keep baking soda in the shower and make a paste with my shampoo every 3rd or 4th time I wash my hair. I don’t use much product, but I used to have very flakey hair and this has eliminated the flakes completely.

    My pleasure, Jodi. Do it once a week as product build up will give you Limp Lifeless Hair. So cheap too.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
