Mayonnaise
Condition your hair by massaging it into your hair. Cover your head with a shower cap, wait a few minutes, and shampoo.
Remove bumper stickers by rubbing it over the entire sticker. Let it sit for several minutes and wipe it off.

Here is a good solution in using lotion for your hands or body. You can improve your skin by not adding chemicals like sodium laureth sulfate.
* Aloe vera gel food grade (Lily of the Desert)
* Vitamin E oil food grade
* Olive oil (organic is best)
* Lanolin cream (organic only). Note: lanolin is derived from sheep and is a common allergen.
Many of the potential toxins present in hand lotion can be found in today's hair care products. Many of these chemicals are being linked to increased loss of hair, dandruff, drying hair, and brittle hair. When eliminated from daily use, you will be amazed at the improvement!

remembertheleaves, you are so right about the hair care products. I switched to a more expensive all natural brand and mine and my husband's hair has stopped thinning. Being very frugal and not throwing anything away, I kept what was left of a well known brand and when I ran out of the good stuff I used it. I could really tell the difference with one shampoo. -

We've had a really bad year with powdery mildew attacking plants left, right and centre; I found a good natural alternative to the usual anti-fungal sprays.
All you need to do is spray the leaves with a weak milk solution (10% will do, mixed with water). The alkaline solution does the trick, but you need to maintain spraying twice a week for about a month, depending on the outbreak.
Druid - lol, made me feel like a BLT right now. -

COCONUT OIL FOR SOFT HAIR
Shine & Softness
Coconut oil enhances shine and gives an incredible glossy softness to the hair. Use it as a deep treatment...
Simply add a few tablespoons of pure virgin coconut oil to dry or slightly damp hair. Wrap it in a hot, wrung out towel or plastic bag, then cover with a thick dry towel. Allow the oil to work into the hair (and scalp if needed) for at least 30 minutes.
Doing this before a bath or shower is the most effective. The heat will open the cuticle layer of the hair, allowing the coconut oil to penetrate deep into the hair shaft. the hair's inner structure. -
