If you have brittle or dry hair, you know how difficult it can be to tame and to make it look soft and shiny to the world. Bad hair days may be a regular occurrence for you no matter how hard you try to take care of your hair. You may have tried a number of solutions for your brittle and dry hair, but none of them are seeming to work for you or are working against you. Thankfully, the five natural options below can make the world of difference if you practice these routines regularly to give you the soft and shiny hair you desire.
1. Papaya
The final natural solution to make your hair soft and shiny is to use papaya as a mask over your hair. Often, your hair may become hard and may appear damaged due to the harsh and dry conditions of the winter, which in many cases, leads to unhealthy hair and dandruff. Papaya will strengthen the roots of your hair and will remove the dead skin that has caused dandruff leading to an unhealthy appearance over time. You should leave this natural ingredient to sit on your hair for at least 45 minutes before you remove it to get the best results.
2. Fatty Oils
If you find a hair mask that is made from coconut milk, jojoba oil, or even avocado, it will be perfect for your hair. The high-fat content gives your hair just the right amount of moisture, and it strengthens the hard roots. The jojoba oil itself may even help your hair to grow at a much faster rate over time. If you combine all three of the fatty oil types listed above, you will receive the highest quality results in your quest to achieve shiny hair.
3. Eggs and Yogurt
If your hair is brittle and does not have any life to it, it likely looks quite dull, especially in the colder months of the year. By applying eggs directly to your hair, you will be building up a source of protein that will aid in overall health. The yogurt addition will remove the build-up of unnatural oils which have caused hair damage to make your hair as brittle as it is. Any damage that you have is completely reversible if you take the time to focus on the health of your hair that it needs.
4. Milk and Honey
You have probably seen shampoos and conditioners advertised that are said to contain a combination of milk and honey. There is a reason for that as the combination is very lightweight for your hair and provides just the right amount of softness to it. It is not overly rich in oils either so your hair will not become greasy from any use of milk and honey. To get the best results, ensure the milk is at room temperature and that you use a generous helping of two tablespoons of honey with it.
5. Hair Supplements
You may have heard of a product named Biotin which aids in hair growth and in making your hair less brittle over time. This is just one of the many supplements that are available to aid you in achieving healthy-looking hair on a daily basis if you consume the supplements regularly. The best hair supplements are taken on a daily basis, and most are available in a 30-day supply so that you have plenty of time to see if they work for you. There are plenty of natural supplements that are available too that do not contain harmful ingredients and have a very minimal risk of side effects.
You do not have to rely on unnatural ingredients and shampoos that are full of toxins to receive the results you want for your hair’s health. You can make it shiny and smooth just by taking a daily supplement and by using any of the homemade and natural solutions listed above. These are sure to start showing results quickly, proving that you can continue strengthening your hair day by day. It is well worth the time it will take just to order the supplements and to create the hair masks that you need.
