Hair question?! Home made treatments or advise?

Question

I had a situation where i had highlights, hated them and dyed over them that was nearly 2 months ago, now my hair looks really dull and the colour isnt great as im quite dark and it took 2/3 loads of dye!
Is there any home treatments(like homemade) or anything i can do to get the colour looking shiny and healthy!?

Answer 1

I know! I know! Try this:

1 ¾ cup lemon juice
¼ cup water
Mix, rinse through hair. This will get rid of buildup. Wrap hair in towel for 15 mins, then rinse with cold water

THEN

1 teaspoon baby oil
1 egg yolk
1 cup water
Bowl

Beat the egg yolk, add the oil then beat again. Add to the water. Massage into the scalp and throughout your hair. Rinse well in 1 hour. This will condition! Rinse with cold water.

No matter what, always rinse with really cold water! It locks in shine!

Answer 2

You could use a hot oil treatment ($5-10 @ Walmart for a home kit) The main trick is to keep your hair hydrated!

You could also start using the John Freida Brilliant Brunette colleciton or Pantene Pro V's Brunette Expressions collection. I have used them both and they work very well, but they're a little pricy, so I just use Aussie 3 minute miracle!

To bring out the shine in my hair I use John Freida Brilliant Brunette smoothing cream and I use a leave in conditioner (Nexxus, $10 @ Walmart)
