Our hair is an essential expression of who we are. It is the first thing that gets noticed by someone. It implies youth, health, and life. Some people do not feel good when they have a bad hair day or hair problem. This happens to both men and women. Therefore, it is very important to have a hair care routine.

Hair care does not have to be pricey. Actually, one can use common kitchen ingredients that could give our hair a deep moisturizing treatment.

Some homemade hair care treatments:

1. Hair rinses

Hair rinses bring back the hair’s pH. Having the right pH for the hair prevents the scalp from itching. One example of hair rinses is using vinegar. It removes the residue of shampoo and other hair products from the hair. It closes the cuticles as well.

Directions: Put 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 4 cups of water. Use this mixture as the final rinse of your hair. This will make your hair feel soft. This procedure is applicable for all hair types. Lemon juice is also an alternative that you can use in this procedure.

2. Dandruff remedies.

* Apply coconut oil on the scalp and leave it overnight.

* Put some olive oil and almond oil and massage into your scalp. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse.

* You can also use the mixture of vinegar and water to the scalp.

3. Hair conditioners.

* Mash an avocado with an egg yolk. Apply to hair for 10-15 minutes, then with shampoo and conditioner.

* Mix an egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of castor oil. Massage into your hair followed by rinse.

* Put 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to hair and massage for 10 minutes. Put a shower cap then leave for another 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner.

It is also important to use warm water to open the follicles of the hair, before applying shampoo and conditioners. Then rinse with cold water to close the follicles.

As much as possible, do not use gel or mousse because these products contain alcohol, which might damage the hair and may cause hair problem in the future. To protect it from dryness because of chemicals, regularly massage hair and scalp with olive oil. On another hand, if a thick and shiny hair is what you wished for, then, get a coconut milk and massage it to the scalp. Wait for 30 minutes then rinse with shampoo and conditioner. Do this weekly.
