Brittle hair home remedy

Olive Oil
Olive oil is the ideal oil to use for brief scalp massages to increase blood flow and reverse brittle, dry hair. Using olive oil as a leave-in conditioner can also enhance hair growth in areas that have experienced thinning or even baldness. Simply apply olive oil to the roots and tips of hair to use as a moisturizer and to add shine, reduce frizz, and treat split ends.

Castor Oil
If you experience extreme breakage or thinning around your hairline or nape area, castor oil is a natural oil that can improve the health of your edges. Simply apply a small amount of castor oil twice a day to enhance hair growth in any problem areas. You can also apply castor oil to your ends to reverse brittle, dry hair and to improve split ends. For extremely damaged hair, use castor oil as a moisturizer and apply small amounts all over the hair.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil can be used to enhance hair growth on all different hair types. This moisturizing oil is ideal for both finer hair types as well as textured hair. To use coconut oil as a leave-in conditioner on textured hair, simply apply to the roots and tips of your hair.For finer hair types, coconut oil can be used as a pre-shampoo conditioning treatment. Simply apply a generous amount of coconut oil all over the hair to reverse dry, brittle hair. Follow up by covering with a processing cap and leave the oil in for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour prior to shampooing.

The first thing you need to do is stop blow drying your hair everyday. This is the reason why your hair is looking dry and brittle in the first place. Constant exposure to the dry heat from the dryer is probably breaking your hair strands mid-way and making your hair look like this. Begin with a basic maintenance program to take care of the dryness on a long-term basis. Dry hair will be relieved with almost any kind of oil to condition it. If you want to add shine and vitality to your hair, a couple of extra steps will need to be taken.

Beat a whole egg with two tablespoons of olive oil thrown in. Apply this and leave it on for an hour and wash with a mild shampoo. This will help to condition your hair and make it look shiny and silky. A mix of coconut oil and lime is a good remedy to take care of dry hair. A cup of milk cream with a tablespoon of lavender oil whipped into it will work wonders. It will become sleek, glossy and healthier. You can also apply castor oil to your scalp and foment it with hot water. After applying the oil, soak a towel in extremely hot water, squeeze it out and wrap it around your head. Repeat the process when the towel cools about four times in all before you wash your hair.

I have dry hair too! It’s really thick and coarse — not really brittle but definitely prone to split ends because it’s so dry. The best advice I’ve learned is not to blow dry every day. Heat styling is extremely drying to hair, and if you have dry hair you don’t really need to wash it every day anyhow — it’s probably not prone to be greasy or dirty. The thing is, the less you wash your hair the better. That way, your hair can retain its own natural oils instead of being stripped, first by shampooing, then by blow-drying. To me, cutting down the washing and blow drying to a few times a week is the first step toward healthy hair. In fact, if you can sometimes let the hair air dry, that’s even better.

I got a really good tip from this website. It’s to use olive oil as a deep conditioner to get healthy hair. I tried it, and it basically works the same as using a store bought hot oil conditioning treatment. The instructions are here. I really liked the results. My normally dry hair was silkier for about a week and a half or so.
 Olive oil doesn’t exactly smell the way you expect hair to smell, but to me it wasn’t bothersome. Plus, it’s all natural and not so full of chemicals like other conditioners can be.Also, try using a styling cream when you’re styling your hair and stay away from gels, mousses and hairsprays, which can all make dry hair even drier.I also have a friend who got a deep conditioning treatment at a day spa, and she really loved it. She said it really gave her the feeling of healthy hair — it was super shiny and easier to style. The only problem, she said, is that you would have to keep going every month or so to maintain the softness, since eventually the conditioner washes out. If you don’t mind spending the money, this would probably be the best way to go. I expect that the staff at the salon can help you figure out what formula of conditioner is right for your particular hair type and adjust the ingredients accordingly to help give you healthy hair.
