Improving the health of your hair may be easier to do than you think. While it is always advisable for individuals to work closely with their hair stylist to determine the best route to improving the overall health of their hair, there are at home solutions that may give you the look and feel you want. Improving your hair health does not require a lot of expensive treatments. Often times, the solutions you need are easily within reach, do not take a lot of time, and may offer outstanding benefits. The key is to know what steps you can take to improve your hair.
#1: Apply Natural Fat to Your Hair
It sounds like a problem and a gross situation, but adding natural fats to your hair can offer a wide range of benefits. For example, you may use all natural olive oil to soothe brittle or over processed hair. And, if you suffer from dry hair, this treatment option is one of the most effective options out there. Once you apply a few drops of olive oil and let it sit for about 30 minutes, you may then wash your hair as usual. The fat will wash right out.
#2: Green Tea Rinse
Often, the buildup in your hair is what the underlying concern is. You may improve this with a green tea rinse. Simply brew fresh tea and allow it to cool completely. No sugar, no additives, and no store bought product can work here. After you wash your hair with your normal shampoo, you can then rinse your hair again using the green tea. This is a very simple method. Tea can help to cleanse your hair but also help to enhance hair color. Tea may darken your hair roots. If you have blonde hair, try using chamomile forms of tea.
#3: Use Apple Cider Vinegar
For some people, their biggest issue is dry or damaged hair. If your hair seems limp, dry, or breaks easily, try using apple cider vinegar on it. The process is very simple. Simply combine a teaspoon of the vinegar (you need to use apple cider vinegar specifically) along with two tablespoons of olive oil and three egg whites. Combine this well and then add it to your hair. Leave in for about 30 minutes. Use a shower cap to hold it in place. Then, rinse your hair well. This natural hair treatment will help to improve your hair’s health.
#4: Look for Botanicals
Another route you may consider to improve the way your hair looks is to use botanical oils. The expected benefits are added vibrancy, improved shine, and a healthy scalp. Look for jojoba and sweet almond oil as good places to start. Apply to hair and scalp and leave on for about 30 minutes before rinsing it and shampooing.
#5: Use a Humidifier
Sometimes, the hair is a direct result of the environment. If your home’s air is very dry, your hair may also struggle with dryness. You can significantly improve this by using a humidifier during the nighttime in the room you sleep in. This is very important during colder months or any time of year there is a reduced amount of moisture present in the air. Run the humidifier each evening. This will help with dry and damaged hair. It can also help those with brittle hair or hair that doesn’t feel soft and luxurious.
Using these treatments at home for your hair is one step you can take to improve its health and beautiful look. It is not all you can do, though. You should also work with a hair professional to determine the best type of treatment for your hair to improve specific areas of concern you may have. Often times, it is in these simple changes that you’ll see big results.
