Tomatoes for long healthy hair / Los tomates y tu cabello

I am a product junkie, But I also like to experiment with the ingredients that mother nature has to offer. I cook 3 times a day anyway, so it is very easy for me to experiment with natural ingredients. While I was doing a tomato salad, something came to my mind: are Tomatoes good for my hair, lol can I use it on it? 

Tomatoes are actually a fruit and not a vegetable. However, since it’s not as sweet as other fruits and is most often served as main dish, most people think that tomatoes are a vegetable. Tomatoes are loaded with vitamins A, B2, C and E, minerals: Sodium, calcium, iron, copper, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, manganese and zinc. The red tomato has a lot of vitamin c and antioxidants that helps purify the hair and can be used to remove products build up...

You can apply tomatoes to your hair in a variety of ways, tomato paste, sauce or even tomato juice should work wonders. The acidity in the tomatoes helps to balance the Ph levels in your hair, bringing back its natural color, smell and stop hair falling. Tomato paste also acts as a good conditioner for the hair and brings the  natural shine to the hair.

Tomatoes mixed with chamomile tea will leave your hair soft, manageable and promote hair growth. Helps define your curls.

Hair mask: mash tomatos, olive oil and mayo leave in for 30 min.

Right after I stopped chemical relaxing my hair, my first stop was the vitamin shoppe.

Shopping there I came across Chia seed, read the package and brought  the seed home, at that time I didn't know what to do with them and how powerful they are.. 

Chia is a member of the mint family. The seeds are either white or black and both types are highly nutritious. Originally grown in Mexico and the Southwest between 1500 and 910 B.C., Chia seeds were an important part of the Aztec and Mayan diet. Aztec warriors used Chia as their main source of fuel during conquests. Medicinally, they also used it to relieve joint pain and stimulate saliva.
