Home Hair Care Tips for Fabulous Runway Hair

The hair care industry is flourishing with numerous product ranges that are dominating the market. In fact, the hair care business in the U.S. alone amounts to $83 billion dollars with women being the primary consumers.

We trust hair care products for healthy scalp and hair, but the truth is that the chemicals present in most of these products do more harm to our hair than good. This is exactly why natural home remedies for hair care still rule. The biggest advantage of using home remedies is that they are devoid of harsh chemicals and are inexpensive too.

Regular exposure to pollution and styling products like electric curlers, hair dryers, hair colors, and gels leave hair devoid of moisture. Although their continuous usage leads to damaged hair, we cannot totally avoid using such products. But, we can easily protect our hair health by using the following natural hair care solutions:

1.   To Restore Lost Hair Health

Avocado is rich in essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. It helps in effective hair conditioning and nourishment. Avocado minerals also help in reducing hair fall and promote hair growth. Using avocado hair mask with egg is great for reducing the damaged caused by using chemically-loaded hair products.

Mash one ripe avocado with an egg and apply it on wet hair. Keep this on for twenty minutes and rinse with water. Use the remedy once a week for healthy hair. With the added protein from the egg, this hair mask proves to be a complete nutrition portion for your mane.

2.   For Natural Hair Conditioning

The use of honey and olive oil is so much more than just for salad dressings. Together with apple cider vinegar, honey and olive oil can serve as the perfect natural hair conditioner for your hair.

Take one tablespoon of raw Apple Cider Vinegar (best natural hair conditioner) and olive oil each (prevents over-drying of hair), mix it with two tablespoons water and three tablespoons honey (for moisturization). Mix the above ingredients well and apply the concoction on your tresses. Let it sit for 10 minutes and rinse to nourish and condition your hair at least once in two weeks. If you’re wary of the smell, add three drops of essential lavender oil to the mixture.

3.   For Deep Hair Nourishment

Coconut oil, if applied correctly, can help reduce both, pre-wash and post-grooming treatments such as hair coloring, straightening and more. It is one of the few oils that penetrates deep into the roots of your hair and thus, offers maximum benefit and nourishment. You can use coconut oil as a hair detangler, a base for hair color, to offer nourishment, for faster hair growth, and also to protect it from sun damage.

Doing coconut oil treatment twice a month helps in the deep conditioning of your hair and keeps it full of life. Warm the coconut oil and gently massage it on your scalp. Once the oil is evenly massaged, wrap your head with a hot towel and allow the oil to soak for 20 minutes. Wash with a mild organic shampoo thereafter.

4.    For Lustrous Hair

Rinsing hair with tea is another great way of keeping your hair lustrous, shiny and dandruff-free. The anti-inflammatory properties found in tea help in keeping dandruff at bay and protect against UV damage.

Take two-three tea bags or two tablespoons of loose tea and add six cups of water to it. Heat this solution for an hour and then allow it to cool. Your tea rinse is ready. Apply the tea rinse on damp hair and wrap hair with a towel. Let the tea penetrate your scalp for ten minutes and wash it. While there is no need to shampoo, you may use conditioner, if desired.

5.    For Dandruff-free hair

Taming your frizzy hair does not require chemically-infused styling gels. Curd is an exceptional remedy for managing frizzy hair and offers them lustrous shine. It helps in conditioning your hair and its anti-fungal properties help you in getting rid of dandruff.

For smooth and manageable hair, add two tablespoons of curd with the juice of one lemon and a few drops of honey. Mix the ingredients to a smooth paste and apply it generously on your hair from root to tip. Leave it on for thirty minutes and rinse thoroughly with shampoo.

6.    For Thick and Strong Hair

The hidden secret for a strong and thicker hair texture is the presence of protein and, therefore, regular protein treatment is essential for better hair growth and strength. The recipe to make this kind of a hair mask is simple. Beat one or two eggs depending upon the hair length and apply it on damp hair. Let it sit for half hour and then wash thoroughly. If the smell of egg bothers you, add your choice of essential oil in it. Use this remedy at least once a week for thick and strong hair.

Eggs also help people suffering from hair loss. A helpful hair mask that initiates hair growth requires one egg white to be mixed well with a teaspoon of olive oil. Apply this on the affected area or the entire hair and leave it on for twenty minutes. Rinse with mild shampoo and use it once a week for best results.

Conclusion

Taking care of your hair is essential to ensure healthy and beautiful hair. While a lot of hair care products are available in the market at exorbitant prices, the above simple and easy home tricks work perfectly in giving your hair a healthy sheen without afflicting it with harsh chemicals.
