Are you having a bad hair day? Then your hair must be in bad condition. There is no need to fret with ingredients right from your kitchen and bathroom, you can give your hair the best treatment to aid growth and make it shiny and healthy. These include:
1. Coconut oil
Apply a few teaspoons to hair ends for instant softness for dry and damaged hair. Wait 20 minutes, and then hop into the shower to shampoo and condition. Coconut oil will protect your hair from loss of tone and colour depth.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Use Apple Cider Vinegar as a rinse after shampooing and conditioning. Dilute one part vinegar to six parts water in a bottle. After rinsing, the smell should subside in a matter of minutes.
3. Yoghurt
Yoghurt is useful for treating brittle and damaged hair. To make it at home, combine a half-cup of full-fat Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of melted shea butter. Stir in a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses. Apply the mixture from mid-shaft to end and leave on for a few minutes, then shampoo a few times. The protein in the yogurt protects hair from heat, seals in moisture, and helps mend split ends.
4. Beer
Beer is full of hair-fortifying B vitamins. You can mix a half-cup of beer with one egg (its fatty-acid content is moisturizing) and two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar for an easy conditioning treatment. Let it sit in hair for 30 minutes, then rinse with cool water (hot water will scramble the eggs) for bouncy, soft results.
5. Salt
Mix two tablespoons of coarse salt with shampoo to create a paste. Apply the mixture to your scalp and scrub vigorously for about a minute. Rinse and apply conditioner. The salt targets oil and buildup, and boosts volume. Just don’t use this treatment too often, as overuse will deplete moisture and shine.
