Natural homemade hair care tip for a Dry Hair:
Feel free to shampoo dry hair as often as necessary. Use a gentle conditioning product. If it is protein-rich, it should be gentle and nourishing for your hair. A variety of these products is available in most stores.Condition your hair after every shampoo. If your hair and skin are extremely dry, buy a humidifier for your bedroom and always use it in cold weather. It will protect your hair and skin from the drying effects of indoor heat. A natural way - twice a week rub olive or castor oil into your scalp at bedtime. Wear a plastic cap to avoid getting oil on your pillowcase while you sleep. Shampoo it out the next morning.

This really works and it's cheaper than the salon treatments.
Beat one egg into 1 cup of olive oil (double quantities if your hair is long). When well blended, pour over DRY hair and work in well. Wrap hair and head in Saran wrap to avoid drips and allow to rest for 30-45 min. Wash hair with your regular shampoo in cool water, soaping twice to remove excess oil.
Do this once a week and you will soon notice the difference.

a warm olive oil+ coconut oil+ almond oil in three parts mixed together and a 10 minute massage overnight and then wash it the next morning with a good shampoo.
a good diet which includes lots of water and a source of vitamin E

Answer 8

olive oil or if you can stad teh smell mustard oil (i cant stand it but know a few people who swear by it). try to leave it on overight at least or for a while to really treat your hair and scalp. also wash your hair (as ure scalp is irritated use the mildest shampoo you can find) before you apply the oil to scalp, roots and all along the hairs for best result.

drink more water to help your scalp ad alternate your shampoo product (i.e. dont use the same one for months on end) as it can cause a build up on your scalp and hair surface.

Answer 9

hot oil traetment or a leave in conditioner. or you know the moisturiser E45 well put some of that on your hair. i have the same problem. i would lay off the heat styling if you do that. and problay get a trim that always makes your hair healthier.

Answer 10

You need to remove the damage. You need to apply a product which gives your hair moisture. Stop using heat type appliances on your hair, that causes dry, brittle hair. You need to apply a hair dressing to your scalp to stop the itching.

Answer 11

Well, some people I know have told me that Mayo works... But I would never put that in my hair. I always use BioSilk when my hair is BAD. It costs alot but it works like a charm! Try it.
