Remedies for Dry, Frizzy, Oily, and Limp Hair

Shiny, soft, full bodied manageable hair is what we all dream of, but the reality is that most of us are forced to spend hundreds of dollars every year on hair care products to get that beautiful mane that we all desire. Humidity, pollution, genetics, sun, and the elements are all contributing factors too unmanageable, dry, frizzy, out of control hair, but you don’t have to spend a fortune to get movie star gorgeous hair. Many hair products are inexpensive, and can be made right in the comfort of your own home from ingredients right out of your cupboard or refrigerator. 

Of course healthy hair begins with proper nutrition which includes plenty of protein. It is also important to drink plenty of water, and take a multivitamin that contains 2.5 mg of Biotin daily to promote hair growth.

Problem: Frizzy hair

Solution: Never rub your hair dry with a towel, always pat it as rubbing it dry just makes it more frizzy. Rub a small amount of coconut oil through your hair after shampooing it or you can use any over the counter product that contains silicone. Always use small amounts to avoid a greasy look in your hair. A sheer moisturizing shampoo and conditioner designed to eliminate frizzy, flyaway hair is also helpful.

Problem: Limp or thin hair

Solution: After shampooing your hair with a volumizing shampoo, rinse with a mixture of baking soda and water to get rid of shampoo and styling product build up. Use a volumizing conditioner, rinse hair, then pour a mixture of 1/4 cup of vinegar and one cup of water through your hair. Do not rinse. This will add body and shine. When blow drying, lift hair at the roots and dry on a low setting. Once styled, spray your hair with a texturizing spray.

Problem: Damaged hair from perms and dyes

Solution: Get your hair trimmed regularly every two months, and invest in a salon scalp treatment or you can give yourself an at home conditioning hair masque that will give your hair new life as both of these options work wonders on damaged hair, and it is immediately noticeable.
