Read on to find out how to create this simple DIY recipe

What You Need:

Coconut Oil - 2-3 tablespoons

Directions:

Warm the coconut oil in a small cup or bowl in about 10 second increments in the microwave if you don't want to use the double boiler method.

Make sure the oil is not too hot for you to handle, or too hot for your scalp.

Separate your hair out into sections to make it easy for you to apply.  Dip your fingertips into the oil and massage into your scalp gently.  Massaging your scalp helps promote blood circulation which is important for your scalp and hair!

Do this until your entire scalp is coated.  You can put the rest on your hair; Do this in moderation as it is hard to wash out.

Wash/condition/dry your hair as usual.  It may take a few treatments before dandruff is gone, but chances are, you'll notice results sooner than later.

So, what is the cause of hair loss?  One of the main causes is the lack of protein on your scalp which can be caused by numerous factors such as bad shampoo and conditioner use, stress, etc.  Egg yolk helps replace and maintain the protein loss from your scalp which is the reason hair loss occurs.  Egg yolk is also rich in lecithin and protein which both are great for moisturizing and strengthening your hair.  This makes it a effective natural hair loss treatment.  Egg yolks are also high in sulfur, which for those dandruff sufferers out there, this is great news!  Sulfur helps relieve your scalp of dandruff, so this home remedy is worth a shot!

Eggs are found as a staple food in many kitchens.  They provide you with a great source of protein when taken internally.  Egg yolks are high in protein which makes it a great hair mask.  Protein helps prevent hair loss and helps to strengthen your hair.

Also, treating your hair with egg yolks leads to softer, more manageable, and shinier hair.  If you have a problem with hair breakage, then you should use an egg yolk treatment, as the protein in the egg yolks helps prevent hair from breaking.  The sulfur in the the egg yolks also help treat dandruff.

Ingredients:

Depending on the size of your hair
1-4 egg yolks

Directions:

Whip the egg yolks together and apply to dry hair. It feels slimy on your fingers but it's worth putting on!  Make sure all the hair strands in your hair are covered.

Leave the egg yolks in your hair for about 20-30 minutes and then rinse out thoroughly with lukewarm to cool water.  If you use hot water, you run the risk of cooking the yolk on your head.  Shampoo and condition normally.

You should do this once a month to help rejuvenate dry hair!

Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse Treatment for Naturally Shiny Hair

Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse Treatment for Naturally Shiny Hair

Winter and in-door heaters and air conditioners can leave your hair dry and wrecked with dullness and frizz.  This leaves your hair looking and feeling stressed out.  And, let's admit it, if we don't feel like we look good, we don't feel as great as we could!

Thankfully, there is a way to get your hair shiny and healthy again, naturally!  This item should be in your pantry if it isn't already because there are at least ten other uses I can think of where Apple Cider Vinegar can be used throughout your house (and on you).

Use this apple cider vinegar rinse and you will be happy you did!  Apple cider vinegar balances out the pH level in your hair because it is acidic.  It is a great cleanser and effectively removes dirt and oil from the scalp.  That plus the fact that apple cider vinegar is a great conditioner as well helps rid your scalp of dandruff.

Moreover, the reason apple cider vinegar is recommended for shiny hair is because of it's acidic properties.  ACV helps smooth the hair cuticle resulting in a sleeker finish on your hair.  A sleeker finish means your hair will reflect more light = shiny and healthy hair!

Ingredients:

• Apple Cider Vinegar- 2 tablespoonsn for short hair; 4 tablespoons for long hair
• Warm water  -  1/2 cup for short hair; 1 cup for long hair

Directions:

Mix the apple cider and water together and apply to your hair and scalp using your fingers.  You just want to get your hair and scalp wet so make sure you don't completely soak your hair.  You don't have to use the entire mixture.

Let the solution stay in your hair for about 10 minutes or so.  You can use a shower cap or saran wrap if you want but it's not necessary.  Once the 10 minutes are up, rinse out your hair with cool water as it helps to keep your hair cuticle smooth.
