SUMMER TIPS FOR DRY AND DAMAGED HAIRS

Everything from pollution to hair dryers can wreak havoc on your hair. If you've noticed your hair becoming dull and brittle, head into your kitchen and try making some of these natural home remedies for dry hair.


Hot Oil Treatment 

Natural oils are some of the best home remedies for dry hair because they're excellent sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and other fatty acids. These vitamins and fatty acids help repair and protect hair from damaging factors. Warm up a small bowl of jojoba oil, olive oil, or almond oil and apply to your hair, concentrating on the most dried and damaged areas first. Finish by combing the warm oils from the scalp to the ends of your hair. Leave on for about 30 minutes and rinse out with a shampoo and style as usual.

Conditioning Hair Mask 

Eggs and dairy products are high in biotin and protein, which are two nutrients hair absolutely needs to be healthy and strong. Heat a couple of tablespoons of plain yogurt (avoid any flavored yogurts with added sugar) and mayonnaise until warm, then apply he mixture mid-length to your hair. Focus applying this conditioning mask to the ends of your hair. Leave on for about half an hour and rinse out with shampoo.

Overnight Treatment 

Coconut oil is a natural oil that penetrates hair easily and can leave hair feeling much softer after just one night. For an easy overnight treatment, apply coconut oil to dry hair. Start application about mid-length and finishing applying at the ends. If you have a dry scalp you can apply a small amount at the roots as well. Gently wrap hair up in a shower cap or other hair wrap and leave on overnight. Shampoo hair and style as usual the following morning.

Dry Hair Treatment Tips 

These home remedies for dry hair are quick, effective ways to smoothe and soften damaged hair, but they're not a substitute for regular conditioners. It's good to apply one of these hair masks or conditioning treatments only about once a week and rely on good hair care practices every day. One of the best dry hair tips you can keep in mind is to always condition hair. Using a deep moisturizing conditioner every time you shampoo your hair will help keep dry hair nourished in between repair treatments.
