Try lemon juice (fresh lemons) mixed with some water to rinse your hair. I had flaky scalp for many years and tried all the products on the shelf to rid the itch and flakes. I also went to the dermatologist spent a fortune on perscriptions. Then I remembered that I used to rinse my hair with LEMON juice and voila! the problems disappeared. It is great to detangle the hair also. It's great for the skin leaving it smooth and soft....Give it a try
I have had long hair all my life, so the ends get dry and split. I really don't want to cut my hair, so after a shampoo and rinse, I squirt a little olive oil in my palm, rub my palms together, and then kind of fluff it through my hair with my fingers.
Do not ever use any other kind of oil on your hair other than olive oil. Not baby oil, vegetable oil, none of them. Why? Because those oils do not want to wash out.
You can use olive oil anytime, but use sparingly. Olive oil will also get rid of static in your hair, the frizzies, and make it look nice and healthy.
Also, once I lived in a house that had a well. The well water turned my hair red from the iron in the water. No good! Rinse your hair with vinegar/water to get iron deposits out of your hair.
I didn't see a section for detanglers, so I thought I would put it here.
You're just not going to believe what the best "hair detangler" is on the market. It's at your AG store. It's in the horse grooming section, and it's called Show Sheen. You guess it, they use it to get the tangles out of a horse's mane and tail.
They have a product called "Mane and Tail," but I have tried this and it is not the same stuff.
Spray some Show Sheen on after you get out of the shower and comb the tangles away. It also adds a shine to your hair. No you won't smell like a horse! Hahaha
I have been using Show Sheen for years, and will never buy those conditioners that look like snot again!
Put coconut milk in a bowl and but in the refrigerator or freezer until thick. Then coat your hair and let stand for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. It leaves your hair soft and it will smell awesometastic!:D
Eggs for the Protein, Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the Moister, and Apple Cider Vinegar for the Shine.
Mix together 2 Raw Eggs, and enough Olive Oil to cover your hair. Place on dry hair, cover with shower cap for an hour. Rinse with lukewarm water ( don't want egg to harden on your hair ). Add about 1/2 a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar to hair with shampoo and rinse.
