Here are five DIY home remedies for your hair which actually work.
Remove Product Build Up
If your hair is left permanently greasy due to a build up of hair product which wont come out with normal shampoo, try washing it with dish-washing liquid. The strong de-greasers in the dish-washing liquid will strip all of the excess product. Don’t do this too often though as the liquid will also remove the natural oils from your hair.
Homemade Dry Shampoo
Do you have darker hair in which the white residue left over from traditional dry shampoos shows up in? Try making your own, suitable for brown and red. Mix up a batch with 2tbsp corn starch, 2 tbsp cocoa powder and a half teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Apply and shake through for an instant cleanse.
Get Rid of Dandruff
Do you have any expiring ibuprofen (Nurofen) lying around? Crush it up and put it into your normal shampoo for an easy anti dandruff shampoo. The jagged edges in the crushed tablets will assist in improving dandruff removal according to InStyle
Natural Highlights
This is an age old trick, but it still works well and is a lot cheaper than a trip to the salon. Squeeze out the juice of a lemon into a cup and use a toothbrush to apply it to the strips you want highlighted. Now go and sit in the sun for a while (with sunscreen), around twenty to thirty minutes usually works best. Do this for a few days and lightened streaks are as easy as that. To lighten your whole head, pour some of the juice through all of your hair before sitting in the sun.
Remove Hair Extension Glue
Are you stuck with trying to remove the glue left behind after taking out extensions? Try soaking the gluey bits in olive oil for around 15 minutes. The oil will help to soften the glue and allow it to come out easily.
