Hair Care Home Remedies
By: Elizabeth Kiely
Save money and give yourself a break from
the chemicals found in most hair care
products by using the following natural home
remedies.
Tame your frizzy hair by rubbing coconut oil
into your hands and applying sparingly onto
your hair. You don't want to overdo it - too
much will make your hair look greasy.
Shampooing your hair less frequently also
helps with the frizzies. Excess shampooing
strips natural oils from the hair.
Rinse your hair with baking soda and water
to rid your hair of shampoo build-up and
styling residues. Rinsing your hair with one
juiced lemon and one cup of water is said to
bring life and shine back to dull hair.
Apple cider vinegar mixed with water will
give your hair shine and bounce.
Add essential oil of ylang ylang to your
shampoo, conditioner and styling agents as a
hair rejuvenator and to stimulate hair
growth. Add patchouli to your shampoo if you
have oily hair.
Rosemary is an effective hair tonic and
conditioner. Rosemary also helps retain
color especially in dark hair.
Chamomile and lemon juice have a mild
bleaching effect on hair. Mix chamomile tea
with lemon juice and use as a rinse to
lighten hair.
For problems with dandruff, add rosemary
and/or patchouli essential oils to your
shampoo or mix with almond oil as a hair
treatment for your scalp.
For hair loss, add horseradish oil,
cedarwood, clary sage, and/or rosemary oil
to your shampoo. Also, Vitamins B, C, F,
zinc, iron, copper and protein are essential
for hair growth. MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl
Methane) is a natural source of organic
sulfur good for treating hair loss. Take MSM
supplements or eat high sulfur content
greens such as kale and watercress.
Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty
of raw fruits and vegetables is probably the
best way to achieving healthy hair. What
goes into your body is reflective on the
outside including your hair.
