Natural Hair Care and Homemade Hair Treatments

Hair is certainly one of the most noticeable parts of the physique – and healthy hair can add a great deal of vivacity to your looks, and make you more confident. While some of us are blessed with absolutely great hair that need little care, most of us need to give some tender loving care to our crowning glory.

When it comes to health hair, homemade hair treatments are gaining a lot of popularity. A lot of people that are not getting good or desired results with usual shampoos and conditioners available in the market report great satisfaction with homemade hair care products.

Modern lifestyles are also taking a great toll of our health in general and our hair in particular. Almost everyone suffers from dandruff and falling hair at some point of time. While making lifestyle improvements and getting a healthy diet can definitely result in a healthier scalp and healthier hair, you may need some form of assistance for hair care. And what better way to tend to your hair than getting healthy, homemade hair treatments?

Indeed, people are turning in ever greater numbers to natural remedies for arresting hair problems – with many of the commercial products containing ingredients that can be harmful to health in the long term. Also, if you notice, you will find that even these commercial products are publicizing the fact that they contain natural ingredients – like avocado, egg yolk and honey.

Eggs

You must have noticed several shampoos advertising the fact that they contain egg yolk, or at least, some active ingredients derived from it. Not only is the yolk, egg white also very beneficial for hair. They work in tandem – the yolk moisturizes, while the white removes excess oil from the surface.

Dairy Products

Sour cream and yoghurt have lactic acid and fats that are very effective in cleansing and moisturizing, and are really good for dull looking hair.

Lemon Juice

The humble lemon juice can help you relieve an itchy scalp and get rid of those pesky flakes. For best results, use a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil.

Honey

If you have been out in sun for too long, or have been frequently using a flat iron, the honey treatment can really give a new life to your curls. Multiply its effect by adding it with olive oil, egg yolk and avocados.

Cornstarch

If your hair is excessively oily, or you gave applied oil for some reason, you can get rid of this excess oil by using cornstarch. To apply it, put it inside a salt shaker, and simply sprinkle over your hair. Remove by combing with a flat brush.

Avocados

Using a paste of avocados on its own or by mixing it with egg yolk, honey and olive oil on frizzy hair can deliver really great results.
