Damaged hair isn't attractive, and when hair needs repair it's quite obvious. It tends to be frizzy, out of control, and it's very brittle. Hair sometimes requires repair due to a number of reasons, from harsh chemical treatments to improper care, but it is possible to repair your out of control damaged hair. Although nothing short of cutting will completely repair damaged hair, the following methods of repair will help you improve the quality, texture, and strength of your damaged hair.
Egg Yolk and Olive Oil Conditioner


After applying the following egg and olive oil conditioner each week for a month, your locks will be smoother, softer, and will appear less damaged. This homemade conditioner works very well, and it's far less expensive than store-bought repair products and conditioners of similar quality.

To make egg yolk and olive oil conditioner to repair the condition of your locks you'll need one egg yolk, two tablespoons of olive oil, a shower cap, a whisk or fork, and a small bowl in which to combine the ingredients. This conditioner recipe is enough for one application. Any leftover ingredients should be disposed of after use.

Most conditioners are applied after shampooing, but this conditioner formulated to repair is applied prior to washing. Wet your hair as usual, and apply the mixture. Concentrate on the ends, and avoid the scalp. Allow the mixture to remain on the hair for several minutes while showering and before shampooing as usual.

Daily Vitamin E Treatment


Dry damaged hair can benefit greatly from vitamin E treatments, but store-bought products containing beneficial vitamins can be quite expensive. You can make your own vitamin-enriched shampoo with the help of vitamin E capsules which can be purchased at discount dollar stores. Simply break open five or six capsules, and combine the contents with your favorite shampoo. Your locks will look shinier, smoother, and much healthier, and you'll have all the benefits store-bought reparative shampoo without the added expense
