Home remedies for dry hair


People can use home remedies to treat hair if it becomes dry and brittle. Listed below are 12 different home remedies that can be tried:

1. Using hot oils
Olive oil is one of the most popular home remedies for dry hair. Besides olive oil, the following can also be used with good results:

coconut oil
almond oil
castor oil
jojoba oil
corn oil
All of these oils are rich in vitamin E and antioxidants and help to seal the outer hair layer or cuticle with moisture, thus repairing the damage.

To prepare this home remedy:

Warm but do not boil around half a cup of oil.
Gently massage it into the hair for some minutes.
Cover the hair with a warm towel.
Leave for 30−45 minutes or overnight.
After this time, shampoo and rinse the hair.
This treatment will strengthen and add shine to dry hair.

2. Using good hair care products specific to your hair type
A person may want to try using gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and hair conditioners.

Also, they can shampoo less frequently, for example, only once or twice a week.

3. Using beer as a hair conditioner
Beer contains a protein that helps to repair the hair cuticles, making the hair smooth and shiny.

If someone shampoos their hair as usual and then sprays on some drops of beer, allowing it to dry naturally, it will work as a good conditioner without leaving any smell on the hair.

4. Applying a gelatin preparation
Plain gelatin is a good protein source for the hair. It coats the hair strands and moisturizes them, making the hair smooth and shiny.

To prepare this home remedy:

Mix 1 tablespoon of gelatin with 1 cup of warm water.
Leave it aside for 5 minutes to partially set the gelatin.
Add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and 6 drops of an essential oil, such as jasmine, lavender, clary sage, or rosemary to the preparation and stir.
Apply the mixture to clean hair.
Finally, leave the preparation on the hair for 10 minutes and rinse with tepid water.
