Yes, it is important that you use the right shampoo, conditioner, and styling products on your tresses. But you also need to give your hair some of nature’s love by treating it to some natural home remedies. Here are a few that you can whip up in just a few minutes with things that you probably already have in your kitchen:
Condition Your Hair With Olive Oil: Warm a little bit of olive oil in a glass bowl and massage it onto your scalp. Leave the oil in for 45 minutes before washing your hair as per usual. Olive oil is known to penetrate the hair shaft and protect it from within. The phenolic compounds in olive oil impart antioxidant properties to it that protect the hair from oxidative damage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Apple Cider Vinegar Mask For Dry
Damaged Hair: Mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, two tablespoons olive oil, and three egg whites together and apply it all over your hair. Put on a shower cap and leave this hair mask on for 30 minutes before shampooing your hair. ACV is a hair care ingredient many bloggers swear by. It has antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. These properties can help prevent scalp infections. It can also help reduce head lice, dandruff, scalp acne, alopecia, hair loss, and split ends.
Yogurt For Dull Hair: Dampen your hair and massage half a cup of yogurt onto it. Leave it on for 20 minutes before shampooing your hair as usual. A study showed that probiotics are anti-inflammatory and reduce oxidative stress on the skin. This might apply to the scalp as well. Yogurt can also help reduce hair damage.
Castor Oil To Reduce Hair Fall: Massage some castor oil onto your scalp and from the roots to tips of your hair. Leave it on for half an hour and then wash it off with shampoo. You may have to shampoo twice to remove castor oil from your hair completely. Castor oil is an emollient that moisturizes the hair.
Henna To Repair Split Ends: Mix half a bowl of henna powder, four teaspoons avocado oil, an egg, and some water to form a thick paste. Apply this henna paste all over your hair and leave it on for two hours before washing it off with lukewarm water. Henna contains lawsone that bonds with protein molecules to enhance hair color.
