What are the best and quickest natural treatments for damage hair?

Answer 1

As others have mentioned, you can choose an oil (I myself prefer coconut to olive. I like the scent better.) and use that. There are several ways to use it, but the most popular is to use the oil of your choice as an overnight hydrating treatment. At night on dry hair apply the oil, from the roots of the hair to the tips, until saturated. Then, massage the oil into your scalp for a minute or two. Next, sleep with the product in overnight (I either place a towel on my pillow or put on a shower cap) and shampoo/condition the hair in the shower in the morning as you normally would. You can do this as many times a week as necessary, but I'd say the average is once or twice a week. (you'll need to do it more if your hair is VERY dry, less if your hair is normal or oily naturally) Hope that helps!

Been there done that. I am not sure what you mean by "natural", but the best advice I've ever gotten was from Paula Begoun of cosmeticscop.com and Paula's book, "Don't Buy Hair Care Products Without Me". First thing, if you can, cut the damaged parts off. Otherwise, the split ends travel up your hair until you're head is a frizzball. If you're perming and coloring your hair, choose one or the other; do NOT do both. Perming is more damaging, BTW. If you insist on doing both, at least don't layer your hair; wear it one length.

Also, at Paula's advice, I use White Rain Extra Body shampoo -- not because of the "Extra Body" claim but because it's a good (cheap!) clear shampoo that will not build up and it cleans well. (Check out Paula's remarks on salon hair care products!) For conditioner, use Panteen Full & Thick conditioner. Don't use Panteen shampoo or the 2-in-1 combos. I did it against Paula's advice, and boy the build up makes damaged hair heavy. But the Panteen conditioner is great, especially if you leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing. I put it all over my hair, as putting it only on the ends wasn't enough for me.

Lastly, don't use hot water on your hair, just warm. Don't comb wet hair; let it dry most of the way and then use a pick (if your hair is fine, it isn't as much of an issue). Save the brush or comb for when it's totally dry. Also, if you blow dry your hair, wait until it is just damp and THEN dry it the rest of the way. Much less damaging. I don't blow dry at all if I'm staying home.

Oh yeah, all the "botanicals" and "teas" and "vitamins" supposedly put in hair products don't do a thing for your hair. Hair is dead. Do yourself a favor and just drink your tea and eat your vitamins, where it'll do some good. And forget advice such as putting mayonnaise or beer or lemon juice in your hair. Just forget it. If you have hard water, white vinegar does a good job getting the mineral build-up out, every couple of weeks.

In summary: cut off split ends, White Rain E.B. shampoo & Panteen F&Th conditioner, don't wet comb, and dry hair when just damp. The rest of what I wrote should help prevent further damage. It's helped my long, color-treated hair feel like silk instead of hay.

Answer 3

I wash my hair with vinegar then rinse then add Mayonaise which is just vegetable oil, egg and lemon juice. Let sit a moment or two rinse and wash with Fruitice and condition with Fruitice. LOVE the feeling afterwards. Learned this from my ex who was a 10 year beautician.
