Is Is your hair in need of a lttle pampering and loving care to bring back that extra sparkle and lustre, to other wise lifeless locks. You can have the condition you require for your wedding, with simple remedies which are abundant in this tropical haven.
Barbados is rich in natural fruits which can do wonders for your hair, particularly at this time when you want to look your very best.
A good example is the “Avocado Pear” and the “Banana” which we all know and love. You can sample these treatments yourself, especially if you happen to have one or two of the fruit, which are a little overripe and would otherwise waste.
The addition of mayonnaise makes a very rich pack, particularly good for hair which will be subject to hot temperatures. The mayo will smell very strong but try to bear with it, as it is a good natural treatment without chemicals.

Using Coconuts
A coconut is a wonder fruit for your hair health. Drinking coconut water not only helps to cleanse and hydrate your skin but also your hair as well as helping your digestive system. If you are drinking the water from an actual coconut as opposed to a container, you can utilise the milk of the green coconut as a pre-rinse conditioner for your hair, to smooth, silken and add shine. Coconut oil is very easy to obtain on the island and makes an excellent pre-shampoo massage treatment to condition the hair and promote growth.
