Natural Remedy for Dull Hair

Natural Remedy for Dull Hair

Every now and then, it’s good for your hair to get rid of excess build-up of residue. While there are many anti-residue shampoos available, they’re often expensive.

Baking Soda Magic

There’s something in your kitchen that you can use to restore shine and rid your hair and scalp of excess residue: baking soda.

Blending a couple teaspoons of baking soda into your shampoo does the trick–and many will find it does the trick better than expensive specialty shampoos. Shampoo as usual, and enjoy the shine!

Brewed Coffee

Another home remedy for dull hair also comes from your kitchen. After brewing your morning coffee, scoop out about one-quarter cup coffee grounds into a bowl. Add either an egg white or a teaspoon of olive oil (depending on whether your hair is naturally dry or oily) and mix. The egg white or olive oil help adhere the coffee grounds. Over the tub or sink, massage the coffee ground mixture into your scalp and then through your hair. You can use a shower cap to keep the mixture in place for about 15 minutes. Rinse well.

Coffee grounds can be messy, however. There is another coffee recipe for your hair that may not rid your scalp of residue, but certainly will add shine to your locks. Simply pour lukewarm brewed coffee over dry, clean hair, leave in for half an hour, and rinse. The results are also fabulous!
