Home remedies for damaged hair

There is a plenty of beauty products whether chemical or natural based on the market that are made to cure damaged, dehydrated locks. But sometimes we could just enter the kitchen and prepare easily the most suitable natural treatment for our hairs specific needs.

Homemade hair remedies are individually combined to fulfill each hair damage.

Before continue with the recipes, I just want to mention that no matter what you do outside to your body, it will not give the expectant results if you do not eat and live healthy. Include in your daily diet fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, whole grains and flax seed. The flax seed is the best product for maintaining healthy body. And do exercises.

So, let's begin with the recipes:

Mix equal quantities of olive, almond and sesame oils. These are carrier oils. They can be used pure or with added essential oils. Add to the mixture essential oils of rose, rosemary, lemon, lavender, and sandal. The proportions are 5-6 drops of essential oil to 10 ml base oil.

For example, if you mix 10 ml olive oil with 10 ml almond oil and 10 ml sesame oil, you should add three drops of each essential oil. To 30 ml carrier oil we add 15 drops essential oil.

Store this mixture in a dark glass or plastic bottle and use it to massage the scalp and the locks at least once a week. Wrap the hair in a shower cap and let it for 45-60 minutes. Than take a shower with the plastic cap on and after that thoroughly wash your hair. The heat from the shower will help to the oil to penetrate deeply.

Make an infusion of elder flowers and comfrey root. Add two tablespoons of the herbs to 500 ml boiling water and leave the mixture for half an hour. Then add three tablespoons of cider vinegar. Use this infusion for the final rinse after shampooing and conditioning.

A homemade remedy for very damaged hair is a mashed banana with 5 ml almond oil. Apply to the hair, leave it for 20-30 minutes and then wash as usual. If you do not have bananas you can use avocados.

Another deeply conditioning and repairing homemade hair mask consists of mayonnaise and avocado. It is very similar to the previous recipe. Even if you do not have avocados or bananas you can use just mayonnaise. It is made of oil and eggs, the basic ingredients for hair nourishment.

A good remedy for dry hair is nourishing your hair weekly with warm coconut oil with added fresh orange juice.
