Place the carrot in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Stir in the coconut oil and mix well. Wet hair slightly with a water bottle and apply the mixture to hair from roots to ends. Cover with a shower cap and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition as usual.

Warm Honey Moisture Surge Hair & Scalp Mask

Honey is a humectant in that draws retains and reserves moisture. Because of its emollient and softening properties, honey is an ideal conditioned for hair and scalp.

Mix the honey and oil in a small saucepan and heat on medium low until the honey becomes liquid. Make sure it’s not too hot!

Rinse, shampoo and condition as usual.

Clean Not Green Chlorine Removal Treatment

Baking soda naturally lifts residue that clings to post-pool hair. Use this rinse to neutralize chlorine and deeply cleanse hair.

What you need:

  • 1/3 cup basic shampoo
  • 4 teaspoons baking soda

What you do:

Mix the shampoo and baking soda together in a small bowl until the baking soda is dissolved and the solution becomes foamy. Wet hair then apply the mixture from root to tip. Lightly scrub scalp and hair for about 30 seconds and rinse thoroughly. Condition and style as usual.

Beach Please Sea Salt Spray

Put away the blow dryer and let your hair dry naturally with this subtly fragranced beachy spritz.

What you need:

  • 3 to 5 drops essential oil (grapefruit, lemon or peppermint are great for summer refreshment!)
