Hairstyles Tips: DIY Haircare in New York City

While everyone in New York City talking about unemployment rate, that just released recently, where the city’s unemployment rate, up from 9.5 percent in July, is higher than the national rate of 9.7 percent and much higher than the 8 percent reported for the rest of the state, the State Labor Department’s figures show. Hairstyles Tips will showcase how you can save money by DIY haircare treatment at home, ie. shinier hair.


1. Shampoo your hair. Don’t use conditioner. The oil will provide all the moisture your hair needs.

2. Towel dry your hair. Keep the damp, warm towel for step 4. Over the sink, work the warm olive oil into your hair and scalp.

3. Wrap the plastic wrap around your hair.

4. Blow dry the damp towel so it’s hot and wrap it around your head over the plastic wrap.

5. Let the oil work for 20 minutes. If the towel cools down, hit it with the hair drier again.

6. Shampoo the oil out after 20 minutes. Again, don't use conditioner. You might have to shampoo and rinse 3 times, depending on how thick your hair is. But the good news is this shininess should last for a month!

Follow these simple steps, you will have more shinier hair at home with just olive oil!
