Homemade Hair Treatment

A deep conditioning treatment is excellent for dry hair. Use a treatment once a month, once a week, or more frequently if necessary. Here are a couple of great deep conditioning recipes.

To strengthen your hair, use mayonnaise. You can make your own with fresh ingredients or use it out of the jar. Apply it to wet hair and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo if necessary. The egg in the mayonnaise replaces lost protein in your hair. You can also try mixing an egg with moisturizing ingredients such as honey and oil.


Give your regular conditioner a boost. Mix together 1/2 cup of conditioner with 1/4 cut honey, 1/4 cup aloe vera gel, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Apply it to wet hair and cover all your hair with a shower cap. Wrap your head in a warm towel and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes or longer. Rinse thoroughly, and style as usual.
