Eggs are a great source of protein for hair. Apply raw egg to damp hair. Open a raw egg and massage it into your hair and scalp for approximately 5 minutes. Wash your hair with volumizing shampoo and rinse. This old-fashioned method gives hair more fullness and bounce because of the extra protein.

Create your own pH-balancing conditioner. Mix 1 pint water and 1 tbsp. white vinegar. Use it instead of your regular conditioner after washing your hair. Rinse as usual. White vinegar balances the pH-level of your hair. It leaves your hair shinier and gives it the appearance of more fullness. The odor will dissipate quickly.

No need to waste flat beer. It makes a good hair treatment. Make beer spay. Pour about 1/2 a cup of beer into a bowl. Let it sit for until it goes flat. Put the flat beer in an empty spray bottle. Mist your hair with the beer right after washing. Style your hair as usual. The beer smell will disappear quickly and won't be a concern. Your hair will retain a healthy shine and appear nice and full.

Hold your head upside down while you blow it dry. Use a large, round brush near the roots of your hair to create more volume. Keep the blow-dryer at least 3 inches from your hair to avoid heat damage. The hot air will open up the keratin scales of each individual hair and make it appear thicker. It will also help the hair stand up more, which creates more volume.

Treat your hair to a banana mask. Peel a ripened banana. Smash it in a bowl and add a couple of drops of almond oil. Stir until mixed well. Put mixture on your head and rub it into your hair. Let the hair mask sit for about 15 minutes. Use carbonated water to rinse the banana mask out. Wash and condition hair as usual.
