Hair Care From Your Kitchen

There are so many products out there for hair! Shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and numerous other concoctions that promise beautiful hair. You may be surprised to know that you have products right in your own kitchen that can also deliver amazing results. Here are some hair "recipes" for shampoos, conditioners and build-up removers that we found!

Remove Product Build Up

Mix ¼ cup of vinegar and one cup of water. After conditioning your hair, use this as a final rinse. Your hair will be soft and shiny.

Hair Egg Conditioner Recipe

1 teaspoon baby oil

1 egg yolk

1 cup water

Beat the egg yolk until it's frothy. Add the oil and beat again. Mix this with the water. Massage into the scalp and hair. Rinse well.

Hair Conditioner

Combine mashed avocado with some coconut milk. Comb it through the hair and let sit for 10 -15 minutes. Rinse.


Shampoo Recipe

In a blender, combine 1 ounce olive oil, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Blend well. You can use this as regular shampoo.


Remove Conditioner Buildup

Baking soda removes conditioner build-up from your hair. Rub in and rinse thoroughly, then shampoo with your regular shampoo.


Hair Conditioner

Mayonnaise is a great conditioner for dry hair! Depending on the length of your hair, apply approximately 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to your dry hair. Work into hair well and then cover your hair with a plastic bag. Wait for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and then shampoo as usual.

These are just some examples of food products that can do wonders for your hair. What can you find around your kitchen that can double as a beauty product? Hmmm........
