Homemade Hot Oil Treatment
Hot oil treatments are one of the simplest and most effective rejuvenating remedies for dry hair. The best part about a homemade hot oil treatment is that you can make custom blends to suit your hair type.
You Will Need
2 tablespoons of almond oil
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of jojoba oil
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
Method
Mix all the oils in a medium-sized pot and warm it. (You can personalize this mix by adding or substituting oils.)
Don’t overheat as it will end up damaging your scalp. Make sure it’s lukewarm, not hot.
Massage hair with this oil mixture and wrap it up in a towel.
Unwrap after 30 minutes and wash with a mild shampoo.
Using this treatment once every seven days will give you softer, shinier, and healthier tresses
. Oil treatments also help reduce the formation of split ends in the hair (1).
Krishika Vashistha, a blogger, shared her pre-wash routine, which included oiling the scalp with coconut oil. She massages her scalp with oil a few hours before washing her hair. In her blog, she wrote, “I use coconut oil, it deals with split ends, nourishes hair and works best for me. A nice massage with some warm coconut oil, or any hair oil is so relaxing and improves blood flow in the scalp (i).”
Egg Yolk And Water Mix
Egg yolk is another wonderful dry hair remedy. It conditions your hair shafts and keeps them moisturized. Most of the natural remedies for hair conditioning involve eggs (2).
You Will Need
2 egg yolks
Method
Take two eggs and separate the yolk from the whites.
Add three tablespoons of water and beat until the mixture is slightly fluffy.
Apply all over your hair and wait for 30 minutes before washing.
Use cool water to wash your hair. This keeps the egg from “cooking” and controls the smell.
You’ll be surprised at the instant shine in your hair.
Egg, Honey, And Yogurt Hair Mask
There is nothing as nourishing as this homemade hair mask for dry hair. One such mask is this one made with egg, yogurt, and honey. Eggs are rich sources of proteins and nutrients that help boost the rate of hair growth (3). The protein content of yogurt may lead to the strengthening of your hair strands from the roots and add extra shine, without removing its natural moisture. It has probiotic bacteria that increase the anagen phase of hair follicles, resulting in shinier hair growth (4).
You Will Need
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of honey
2 tablespoons of yogurt
Method
Beat two raw eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
Add one tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of yogurt. Mix until you get a smooth, creamy paste.
Apply this mixture to your hair and leave it on for at least 20 minutes.
Wash with cool water.
This hair mask will leave your hair feeling conditioned without making it sticky.
This is the perfect treatment for combination hair (oily at the roots, dry at the tips.)
