Bad hair reflects bad hair care. From hectic schedules to stress, there are a host of reasons that may be why your hair went from healthy to damaged. Dull-looking dry hair with split ends and tangles is a look no one wants to wear. However, all these conditions weaken the hair in terrible ways. Chemical processing, excessive heat exposure and genetic factors are also reasons your hair is not looking its best. However, there is a solution to every problem no matter how bad your hair issues may be. Here are a few natural treatments you can try to strengthen weak hair.
02/6Onion juice
Known for its abilities to strengthen hair and promote hair growth, onion juice can come in really handy if you want to give your hair that natural boost. You'll need one onion, blender/juicer/grater and a strainer. Start by peeling the outer layers of the onion and then throw in it the blender or juicer. Once pulped, strain the juice from the mixture. Apply this juice to your hair and let it sit for a good 30-40 minutes. Rinse the juice off with shampoo.
03/6Coconut oil
If there is one natural treatment that can work on almost any hair, it has to be coconut oil. It is packed with nutrition that is essential to treating damaged hair. Regular use of it on your hair will help you achieve silky smooth and strong tresses in no time. All you need to do is warm a bit of the oil and massage it well all over your scalp. Leave it on for at least an hour on your hair before you wash it off with shampoo. You can also leave the oil on overnight for best results.
04/6Milk and eggs
Nourishing your hair with a rich source of protein like eggs or milk will help to strengthen weak and damaged hair strands. You can either apply three tablespoons of milk on your hair or opt to use to whipped eggs. Whichever treatment you decide to use, leave it on your hair for a minimum of two hours. Make sure to use a gentle shampoo to wash it off. However, avoid using a conditioner. Use this treatment a couple of times a week.
05/6Essential oils
A blend of a few healing essential oils will be enough to get your hair to a more healthy state. That is because these oils contain medicinal properties that work to strengthen your strands, as well as hair follicles. This treatment also promotes hair growth. To make this soothing blend, combine four teaspoons of grapeseed oil with two drops each of thyme essential oil and cedarwood essential oil. Add three teaspoons each of lavender essential oil and rosemary essential oil to the mix. You can also add about half a teaspoon of jojoba oil to this nourishing blend. Make sure to massage your scalp well with this treatment. 10 minutes before you wash it off, wrap a warm towel over your head.
06/6Hair tonic
A homemade tonic can work to strengthen your hair and give it a healthy shine. To make this treatment, mix two tablespoons of crushed parsley seeds with half a cup of chopped rosemary in two cups of water. Boil the water infused with the ingredients. Let the mixture cool off for at least half an hour.Next, pour the liquid all over your hair after you have washed your hair and allow it to dry naturally.
