Eco-Friendly Hair Care for Women: Go Green with Natural Hair-Product Alternatives
Go green in a whole new way, and consider trading commercial hair-care products for natural, eco-friendly alternatives. I've always been into doing things the natural way and have experimented with many natural hair-care solutions over the years. I'm also very frugal, probably what some would refer to as cheap. With more and more people deciding to go green, I decided to share some of my personal tips on how women can go green with natural hair care that is also eco-friendly.
Go Green Hair Care for Women: Highlights
To highlight your hair the natural way, try a mixture of 1/3 lemon juice, 1/3 vinegar, and 1/3 water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto the hair and sit in the sun for a few minutes. Rinse the hair and let it air dry naturally. The highlights should look natural. This is a great eco-friendly alternative to chemical-ridden hair dyes. Any of the mixture not used on hair can be used as an all-purpose household cleaner for counters, linoleum floors, bathroom fixtures, kitchen appliances, and more. There are many benefits in using this eco-friendly hair care product to go green.
Go Green Hair Care for Women: Shine
To go green with hair and still get shine, women can try mixing 1 egg, 1 tsp tea tree oil, and 1 tsp honey together. Use this mixture to wash the hair. Let the hair dry with natural air. The result will be super-shiny hair. If there is any of this natural eco-friendly mixture left over, use it as a facial cleanser. It will remove buildup, while adding moisture. In both cases, rinse with lukewarm water.
Go Green Hair Care for Women: Hold
If you have picky hair that does not like to stay in place, try this all natural and eco-friendly method. This is an alternative to hairspray or hair gel. Mix 1 tsp honey with 2 tsp tea tree oil. Apply to the hair with fingertips in the area in need of hold. This eco-friendly hairspray alternative should not only hold the hair in place, but gives it shine and can help repel insects, such as mosquitoes.

nice job!
:O)
I remember when we used to bring lemons to the beach. It really works! Good article.
Great article! Now I've got to get some tea tree oil. :)
Thanks so much for the kind words everyone. Sherri, if the drying out happens, apply some tea tree oil to the hair. That should repair the issue and also give the hair some great strength and shine. Lynn, the tea tree oil that is mixed with the honey will help repel any insects. Tea tree oil is a natural insect repellent. :-)
Great article. I have started writing on here, Hope you read/comment on my articles. Thanks
Great tips! I have tried the lemon juice also. It really does work, but it can dry your hair out if left on to long.
great tips!
Oh how I'd love to try the shine recipe, but I live where 98% of our bees are AFRICANIZED and very grumpy.... I really don't want to become their favorite snack food. Other ideas besides "sweet" thickener such as honey?
Great Information! I love the hole natural thing for the hair. I really do not like to put harsh stuff on my hair. Will try some of these. Great Writing by the way!
