Hey my beauties!! Welcome to my “Sunday Pampering” series
and today I have for you the best home-made keratin series without spending a
single penny.
This amazing rice keratin treatment that'll smoothen and
straighten the hair very effectively. Many beauty parlors offer keratin
treatments but usually they are formaldehyde-based treatments and though some
keratin products promise that they're free of formaldehyde, they contain
chemicals that release formaldehyde when mixed with water. So technically
formaldehyde is the base ingredient for those treatments too.
Formaldehyde is a colorless strong-smelling gas that causes
respiratory problems when inhaled or when absorbed through the skin. Doing formaldehyde-based
treatments once in a while will not cause any problems but frequent usage
increases health risk.
Instead of using chemical-based keratin treatments, try this
natural rice-based keratin treatment. The base for this treatment is cooked
rice, rice is wonderful for smoothening out even the most frizzy and dry hair.
This treatment is made with commonly available kitchen ingredients and is very
cost effective. Unlike chemical-based keratin treatments, this treatment will
not do any harm and can be used whenever you like.
In my personal opinion, this is a wonder treatment that leaves
the hair soft and shiny. Follow the recipe exactly like given to get the best
results.
Cut a fresh aloe vera leaf and wash well to remove the slimy
green juice. The green slimy juice causes skin allergy so please take your time
to wash it off properly before using. Now cut the thorns on both sides of the
leaf, cut in half and scoop out the gel alone on to a cup.
To make coconut milk, take 1/8 cup of freshly grated coconut
in a cup. Add very little water to it so as to get thick coconut milk. Now
grind this in a mixer coarsely. Once ground take it in a strainer and press
with a spoon to extract the coconut milk completely. The coconut milk should be
thick and creamy like this.
For the treatment, take heaped 1/4 cup of boiled rice in a
cup. Add in 3 tablespoons of the prepared thick coconut milk. Add in one egg
white to it. Add in a tablespoon of virgin coconut oil too. Add in the inner
gel of one small aloe vera leaf. Now grind this mixture to a very smooth paste.
The mixture should be smooth and free of any lumps so make
sure to patiently grind it till you get a smooth paste.
To use, take the paste and apply it all over the hair. Wait
for 15 to 20 minutes and then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
This is my hair after using the treatment. I just used only
shampoo to wash it off and did not condition my hair so as to show you how
effective the treatment is. It made my hair soft shiny and very manageable.
When I first tried this treatment, I was pleasantly surprised
to see how smooth, soft and shiny it left my hair and I started using it
regularly.
This treatment can be used for all age groups and can be
used for kids too. You can make slight alterations to the recipe if you like, but
I found the best results with the recipe I've given. Use this recipe weekly once
to have straight silky-smooth soft hair.
I hope you found this blog useful. Try it on yourself and also
share it with your family and friends and let me know how it works.
Enjoy your Sunday and don’t forget to love yourself.
