You don’t have to plan frequent trips to the parlor to get healthy hair. All you need are a few hair care products and you’re good to go.
Having healthy hair at home is possible by using natural ingredients and avoiding hair products with harmful chemicals. Some good organic shampoo ingredients include aloe vera, argan oil, geranium, and green tea. Homemade masks like egg yolk and even hair oil can be applied to the scalp. Massaging the scalp also boosts hair health.
Your hair type doesn’t matter. From straight to wavy and curly, these at-home hair care tips work for everyone. Let’s dive into the details.
1. Buy a shampoo with natural ingredients
Many shampoos have ingredients that can damage your hair. It’s best to use homemade or organic shampoos.
The downside to shampoos with highly concentrated chemicals is that it sucks out the natural hair oils. In turn, the hair gets drier, and it will look frizzy and unhealthy.
Below are a few shampoo ingredients that work like a charm:
- Argan oil
- Aloe vera
- Organic green tea
- Geranium
- Jojoba oil
As you can see, oils can also come in the list of ingredients. So if you’re someone with extremely dry hair, oil based shampoos or hair products will work like a charm.
PRO-TIP: Don’t use too much shampoo. It will only make your hair drier, just use an amount that you can spread evenly on the scalp.
2. Apply a homemade egg yolk mask
There are plenty of hair masks to go around, but the egg yolk one works for almost all hair types. So, should you include the yolk or the white? Go for both as they have their own benefits. If you have dry hair, the yolk will moisturize the hair strands for more softness. It will also make your beautiful hair locks shinier!
Follow these steps to make your very own egg yolk mask:
- Take two eggs and put them in a bowl.
- Beat them well using a spoon or a mixer to speed up the process.
- Apply the mixture evenly onto the scalp and hair strands
- Leave it untouched for approximately ten minutes
- Rinse well with water. Make sure you get rid of the egg residue very well.
- Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo, followed by the conditioner you use regularly.
You don’t need to do this daily. Set a routine according to your hair health. Usually, applying a hair mask once or twice a week works well.
3. Apply warm hair oil to the scalp and strands
Oiling your hair is the most classic remedy of them all. Keep your hair healthy and happy with the help of one of these two awesome hair oils:
Castor oil
Do you have flaking issues with your hair and scalp? No worries, castor oil will help stop the strands from breaking apart. So say goodbye to dry scalp and hair fall issues. Since this oil is very rich in fluids, it will keep your hair nourished if you apply it regularly.
Coconut oil
Some issues that coconut oil helps you deal with:
- Removes dandruff
- Makes the hair softer and more smooth
- Repairs split ends
- Keeps the hair intact with vitamins and proteins
You can apply the above oils cold as well. However, if you apply these oils warm, you will feel stress-free and more soothed.
4. Massage your scalp
Apart from all the hair oil and shampoo products, giving your scalp a massage is also necessary. Move your fingers on the scalp in circular motion for around 4 to 5 minutes.
The best part is – You can do this anywhere, anytime! No exclusive preparation or products required for this one.
Conclusion
So, pick your hair shampoo and products wisely. Make sure they don’t have dangerous chemical ingredients. Your best bet are organic substances such as green tea, aloe vera, jojoba oil, etc. Don’t forget to apply oil or a hair mask a few times a week.
And when your schedule is busy or you don’t have hair products around, simply give your hair scalp a 4-minute massage. All the best for your happy and healthy hair journey!
