Joan Crawfords DIY Hair Mask Recipe:
Her hair mask blend was made-up of mayonnaise, olive oil, eggs, and lemon juice. She would gently massage this mix into her hair, followed by a 15 minute soak session.
After the mixture had ample time to be absorbed, she rinsed her hair out with cold water. Rinsing these ingredients off with hot water could turn your hair into what Joan calls “scrambled eggs.”
The Crawford Ice Water Technique
She would wash her face and then splash it with a bowl of ice water twenty - five times.
Cold water can naturally tighten up skin that looks puffy. This technique is especially effective at reducing under the eye puffiness.
