If you suffer from damaged hair, you probably do everything you can to hide your hair so that others can't see it. No one likes others to see broken, dead or dull hair, we all want to have a great full head of soft, shiny locks we can be proud of. The bad news is that the average hair treatment is quite rough and abusive. From hair dryers, to perms and dye, everything we do spells damaged hair. Fortunately there are a number of different types of natural hair treatment which can be used instead of buying chemical laden hair products for damaged hair.
Treat Your Hair to Breakfast
When you think of foods such as honey, yogurt, and eggs, the first thing that most likely comes to mind is breakfast. While these are certainly all components of a good start to your day, they are also a very effective form of hair treatment. More importantly, unlike the chemical laden commercial forms of hair treatment, these are something most of us have in our homes, and they are all very affordable. Each one of these items and several others offer a perfectly natural, damage free form of hair treatment.
For Everyone's Hair
Everyone's hair can always use a little extra special hair treatment from time to time, just to keep it looking its best. The lowly egg is considered by most hair care experts to be one of the best forms of hair treatment on the market. You can use the whole egg as a hair conditioner, but if you have oily hair you should only use the whites. When you have dry hair using the yolks by themselves makes the perfect conditioner.
Take 1/2 cup of the appropriate egg mixture or more if this is not enough to cover all of your hair and scalp. Leave the mix in place for 20 minutes and then rinse out using cool water to avoid cooking the mixture. Shampoo and condition with natural products, you can use the whole egg or egg yolk hair treatment once per month, the egg whites only mix can be used every 2 weeks.
Sweeten Your Hair with Honey
If you have sun damaged or dry hair, try using honey as a form of hair treatment. All you need to do is massage 1/2 cup of honey into your hair and let it sit for approximately 20 minutes before washing it out with hot water. If you need to thin the honey out to make it easier to work with, try adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of olive oil. When your hair is severely damaged, you can add extra protein to this hair treatment by adding an egg yolk or a little avocado. Apply this hair treatment once a month for bouncy, shiny hair.
Give Your Hair a Drink
If you have fine or limp hair, the best hair treatment available is to literally give your hair a drink. Beer, which is rich in yeast, is a great way to add body to your hair. Create a mixture of 1/2 cup flat beer, one teaspoon canola or sunflower oil, and one egg. Massage this mixture in freshly washed, still damp hair and let it sit for 15 minute. Rinse with cool water and then shampoo and condition. As an on the go form of this hair treatment, you can keep a spray bottle of flat beer handy and spritz your hair periodically, the proteins in the beer will help give your hair more structure and strength.
Deep Clean Your Hair
One of the best possible forms of hair treatment is to deep clean your hair on a regular basis. There are a couple of ways to approach this. If your hair is dull and lifeless, it could be the result of a buildup of hair care products and pollution. You can use yogurt or even sour cream to remove the buildup as the lactic acid in these products the buildup and the fat they contain will moisturize your hair. Another hair treatment you can use that has a similar effect is baking soda, it will strip away any residue and leave your hair clean and ready to be shampooed and conditioned.
