How to Use Home Remedies for Dry Hair

Search your pantry for hair conditioning ingredients.

Hair becomes dry from product use, sun exposure and heated appliances. Whatever the cause, skip the hair care aisle at the drug store and reach for home treatments when your hair needs a boost. Easy home remedies can make your tresses soft and manageable again.

Instructions

1. Turn eggs into a deep hair conditioner. Combine three eggs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Mix well, apply to your hair and cover with a shower cap for about 30 minutes. Shampoo hair as usual.

2. Make your own hot oil treatment. Combine 3 tablespoons of canola oil with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and microwave until warm. Apply the oil to your hair using your fingers, starting at the ends and working your way to your scalp. Cover your hair with a warm towel and leave the towel on for about 30 minutes. Shampoo with a gentle shampoo.

3. Open a jar of mayo. Mix a bit of vanilla extract into a cup of mayonnaise, then slather the mixture onto your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap for approximately 30 minutes, then shampoo and rinse well.
