Our hair is constantly subjected to stress, whether from external factors or by using chemicals and heat to style it as we please. All these factors can have a negative impact over the hair's health, so trying to maintain or restore the hair's health is a must. Natural homemade hair treatments can definitely do the job, so find out some cool and easy recipes you can use to boost the beauty of your locks.
It's a well known fact that only healthy hair looks fabulous and can easily be
styled. The idea of loading your hair with chemicals isn't as
appealing, this is why healthier alternatives have become highly
attractive. Homemade hair treatments offer a healthier and
inexpensive alternative to replenishing the hair's natural beauty,
and there are a variety of ingredients in your kitchen you can use
to satisfy your hair's needs.
Nature has provided us with everything we need to survive, and the
ingredients contained in plants, fruits, veggies, can have a
variety of beneficial properties for our health as well as for our
hair. If you wish to regain your lustrous locks, adopt a healthy
diet, use hair care products destined for your hair type and apply
a hair treatment weekly.
To help you choose the right type of homemade hair treatment for
your hair, we have put together some easy to use recipes to
try.
To thicken the hair
If you're looking for a homemade hair treatment which will help
your hair regain its flexibility, shine and thickness, you need to
turn your attention towards wheat germs. Wheat germs are rich in
vitamin E, thus benefit your hair greatly. Put them into a bowl
with hot water, allowing them to sit for about 5 minutes. Drain the
water out and apply the wet wheat germ on your hair, allowing them
to work for about 5 minutes. Rinse your hair well to remove
them.
To reduce static hair
If your hair is dry and becomes static, you need to do something
about it as this could be quite annoying. Use an egg and a cup of
plain yogurt to create a nourishing mask which will reduce the
static electricity in your hair. Mix the two ingredients and
massage the mixture onto your scalp. Allow it to work for about 5
minutes, then rinse it out using lukewarm water.
To emphasize shine
If your hair lacks shine, you definitely have to do something about
it as shiny hair is
a magnet when it comes to attracting attention. Shiny locks look
gorgeous, so restore your hair's natural shine using a mixture of
honey and warm water. Dissolve one teaspoon of honey in two cups of
warm water and pour the mixture onto freshly washed hair. Do not
rinse the hair after, just dry and style your hair as usual.
To get radiant hair
Lemon juice and apple vinegar are an excellent treatment for oily
hair. Oily hair looses its radiance quite quickly and these two
ingredients can definitely help the hair look amazing. Use either
lemon juice or apple vinegar which you first dilute with water
prior to rinsing your previously washed hair. Do not rinse the
water mixture out and dry your hair as usual.
To moisturize the hair
Our hair is constantly subjected to stress from external factors to
hair styling tools and chemicals
contained by hair styling products, so restoring its moisture once
in a while is a must, especially if you feel your hair is becoming
dry and dull. Olive oil is a perfect aid for your hair, so apply
olive oil which you've previously warmed-up (make sure it's not hot
to avoid getting burned) onto your hair. Wrap a warm towel around
your hair to help the oil “work its magic” and let it sit for about
20 minutes. Wash your hair with shampoo as regular.
