Soul Sunday | Love Your Tresses | D.I.Y

Hello my munchkins,
How are u all doing  ?
So , this Sunday I bring to you a simple hair treatment . Am sure your hair is going to just love it :)
As you know it is very important to deep condition your hair at least once a week . So this week that is exactly what I did !
For this deep conditioning treatment I used the awesome benefits of the very versatile Mustard Oil .
Mustard oil is a strong natural oil that helps in achieving strong , beautiful , soft and shiny hair . The mustard seeds that mustard oil is derived from is rich in vitamin and nutrients that promote healthy hair .
Mustard oil is rich in Vitamin A and E . It contains proteins , calcium , fatty acids and antioxidants.The fatty acids help in conditioning the hair . Its a good stimulant for hair growth because of its ability to increase blood circulation . The vitamin A protects the hair follicle and thus helps the hair growth in a big way .  
Mustard oil is also rich in selenium and zinc . The lack of these two nutrients can lead to hair loss . Thus using mustard oil provides your hair with these much needed elements for your hair . As its a stimulator , it promotes a healthy scalp and triggers growth of hair .

Now lets go ahead and see what we need for this treatment .
Well , you will need : 

• Mustard oil ...duh . Take oil depending on the length of your hair !
• Microwave oven or stove 
• Comb or hair brush 
• Shower cap
• Hair Dryer 
• Scented Shampoo 
• Regular conditioner 

 Steps : 

1. Comb out your hair well , ensuring there are no knots and tangles.
2. Take the required amount of the mustard oil into a oven proof bowl and heat it . Just slightly heat for maybe 30 seconds . If you don't have a microwave oven , just take it in a bowl and heat it over the stove , Remember to not over heat it to the point that it starts smoking !! You don't want to fry your head do you ?
3. Part your combed hair in the center to get two parts .
4. Apply the oil between your palms and then onto your hair , taking each partition in turns .
5. While applying make sure to massage to scalp firmly yet ever so gently .
6. If you have a massager or a fine toothed comb at your disposal you can go ahead and massage your scalp with these .
7. Once all of the hair is oiled and your scalp is massaged , put on a shower cap .
8. Use a hair dryer on your hair for about 10-12 minutes to seal the heat in .
9. You can leave your hair like this for about an hour , If its possible you can leave the oil on overnight as well .
10. Because mustard oil has a strong smell , its best to use a scented shampoo to wash off your hair.
11. Use your regular conditioner after shampoo and then rinse of with a blast of cold water. 

This should leave your hair soft and shiny . Doing this treatment about twice a week will help your hair grow out stronger and thicker . While mustard oil is easily available in India , in your country you can look for it in a local Indian store . Am sure these stores stock up on them .I hope this treatment will give you soft luscious hair which you will keep touching all day long ! :) Have a happy Sunday ! Cheers Khaddu XOXOX
