Latinas are commonly renowned for their beautiful hair and exotic-looking faces. Some may want to look just like them.

If you are one of those ladies who want that sultry Latina look, tips like using mayonnaise as a hair mask may not be new to you.

In fact, you may have already read a feature from the Cosmopolitan Magazine showcasing these beauty hacks that are not only effective, but are also very safe since they are supported by scientific evidence.

Another big plus about natural regimens is that you won't have to spend too much money. The effort to go to a salon or spa is also not necessary, since the materials you need can be found in your kitchen.

Smooth and Silky Hair

Mamas Latinas special feature listed a couple of neat tricks to keep your hair smooth and silky, without putting it through too many torturous procedures.

One of the more popularly known tricks comes from Venezuela. It involves using honey, olive oil, and vinegar to help smooth coarse and thick locks, without the unnecessary residue from synthetic hair products.

Dandruff Treatment

Using apple cider vinegar to rinse your hair may help with this particular dilemma.

This is because the vinegar has properties that eradicate fungus that causes dandruff, according to Miami-based dermatologist Dr. Martha H. Viera.

"Dandruff is caused by a yeast infection in your skin. The apple cider vinegar is used for its natural acidity to adjust the pH balance on the skin as close to neutral as possible," she explained to Cosmopolitan.

Aside from that, the vinegar is also known to cleanse excess chemical product residue like that left from  shampoos, conditioners as well as hairsprays.

Mix two tablespoons of vinegar to a cup of water. Use it to rinse your hair after shampooing to make your locks squeaky clean. 

Treatment for Nail Fungus

Another great advantage of including vinegar in your beauty regimen is that it can kill fungus found in the nails.

Simply soak the infected nails in the ingredient for five minutes, and then transfer them in a baking soda-water mixture for the same amount of time. Do this every day.

Doing this for month will help lessen, if not remove, that nasty fungus on your nails.

Exfoliating Scrub

Combine honey with olive oil and sugar to make for a wonderful, and very effective, exfoliating scrub.

Try mixing two tablespoons of brown crystalline sugar with a tablespoon each of honey and olive oil. You have yourself an exfoliating scrub that can be used on your lips, face, and even your entire body.

Skin Moisturizer

Olive oil is very popular in most kinds of cuisine, but did you know that it is also famous as a skin moisturizer in Latin America?

In fact, it is found to have intense moisturizing effects, so it can be used to treat dry skin, particularly along the cuticles around the nails.

Simply put two tablespoons of olive oil in a microwave-safe bowl and warm it up in a microwave for about 30 seconds.

Allow it to cool a little, and then soak your fingernails in it for 15 minutes. You may also massage the oil onto your skin in a circular motion to help promote moisture absorption.
