Natural Homemade Remedies for Frizzy Hair
As women, we put our hair through a barrage of damaging procedures. Blow
drying, dying, and curling can all leave hair feeling dry and frizzy. We buy
expensive shampoos and conditioners to try to reverse the damage, but the truth
is a homemade hair pack treatment can work just as well if not better than
store-bought products. These homemade hair treatments are free of any toxic or
potentially dangerous chemicals, and will leave hair feeling softer, silkier and
with a gorgeous shine. There are many things you can do to avoid damaging your
hair in the first place or at the very least minimizing the chances of any
permanent damage to your hair.
Causes of Hair Damage
There are two major sources of damage to hair: physical
damage and chemical damage. Physical damage includes combing your hair the
incorrect way, excessive exposure to heat from hairdryers or permanent rollers,
and overexposure to ultraviolet rays from sunlight or tanning beds. These
sources of damage can eventually lead to split ends, dry, brittle hair that is
prone to tangling, and in extreme cases hair loss.
Chemical damage is primarily caused by using harsh chemicals found in low
quality hair products that are full of synthetic dyes and additives, excessive
hair coloring, and using large amounts of hair sprays and other styling
products.
By exposing your hair to chemical damage from these sources it is
likely that your hair will become increasingly dryer and more stiff where the
negative changes to your hair may be permanent. If these harmful treatments are
continued not only will your hair be permanently damaged, but you run the risk
of losing your hair. Listed below are two hair pack treatments that are easy to
make and will leave your hair looking great and soft to the touch. Please note
that if you have long hair you may need to double or triple these recipes.
Milk and Honey Hair Pack
 Milk
and honey are two excellent ingredients that will smooth away the frizz and
leave you with gorgeous, silky hair. The honey gives your hair a healthy shine
and is a natural humectant which means it attracts and holds water. This is
especially beneficial for dry hair. The proteins, vitamins and minerals found in
milk will give your hair softness and strength. To keep your hair looking
beautiful, perform this hair pack treatment once a week.
What You Will Need
- ½ cup whole milk (cold)
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- Shower Cap
- Bowl
- Whisk or fork
Combine the milk and honey together in a bowl using a whisk or fork until
blended. Lean over the sink or bathtub and pour all of the mixture on to your
head completely covering your hair. Massage until all of your hair is covered in
the milk/honey mixture. Cover your hair with a shower cap and allow the mixture
to remain in your hair for at least 20 minutes. Rinse your hair thoroughly and
use a mild shampoo to remove all of the mixture. Dry your hair and style as you
usually would. Your hair will be noticeably softer and any frizz issues will be
tamed.
Avocado and Olive Oil Hair Pack
 Olive
oil is an excellent source of vitamin E and can improve the elasticity of your
hair. Hair with good elasticity is less prone to breakage and frizz. Avocados
are bursting with all kinds of healthy hair benefits. Avocados are a natural
moisturizer and contain high levels of vitamins B and E. These vitamins help to
strengthen hair, prevent hair loss, and promote hair growth. They also help to
maintain a healthy scalp. Your dry, frizzy hair will be drenched in natural
moisturizers and vitamins. This avocado and olive oil hair pack benefits both
your hair and scalp giving you healthy, smooth and shiny hair.
What You Will Need
- 1 avocado
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil - Extra virgin olive oil is the best, but you
can use regular olive oil as well.
- Blender, mixer or food processor
- Bowl
- Knife
- Shower Cap
Procedure:
Cut up the avocado and place it into your blender or food processor. Add the
honey and olive oil. Mix until all ingredients are well blended and smooth. Pour
the mixture into a bowl. Coat your hair from root to tip with the mixture. Please note, if you have fine or thin hair avoid the roots as the mixture may
weigh down your hair. Once all of you hair is covered by the mixture, cover your
head with the shower cap. Allow the mixture to remain in your hair for at least
20 minutes. Rinse your hair and wash with a mild shampoo. Dry your hair and
style as you normally would. This hair pack can be applied weekly to maintain
soft, luxurious hair as well as a healthy scalp.
