Dry Hair? Here’s Your Cure

Every man has a different condition, texture and daily ph that affects the look and feel of your hair.  Whether your hair is greasy (oily) or you have ongoing dandruff, your hair can be fixed!  However, severe cases should be checked by a dermatologist.  The following are ways to improve the health and condition of your scalp and hair from natural approaches.

For Dry Hair: Your body may be deficient in essential fats and oils.

1.      After shampooing, dry your hair with a towel using a wicking/sponging motion. Evenly distribute 2 tablespoons of mayo through your hair. Keep mayo in your hair for an hour. Finally, wash hair again with shampoo and rinse out the mayo completely.

2.      Make a mixture of two cups of water and a half-cup of apple cider vinegar (ACV). After your normal shampoo, rinse your hair with a Tbsp oil of wheat germ. Follow that with a second rinse using the diluted ACV mixture.

3.      Take a half of a bottle of your favorite shampoo and fill the other half of the bottle with water. Add 20 drops of oil of one or more of the following: Sage, Chamomile, Calendula, Rosewood, Lavender or Sandalwood.

Shake up the new mixture (before each use) and pour an amount roughly the size of a quarter into the palm of your hands.  Gently massage it into your wet hair and distribute it evenly across hair and scalp. Let it sit for a minute.  Rinse well using warm (not hot) water.

4.      Apply olive oil to hair once every week.

5.      Part your hair in sections and apply apple cider vinegar onto dry scalp with a sponge.  Wrap your scalp and leave in for up to 3 hours before shampooing.

6.      Boil a cup of water in a small saucepan.  Once boiling, add two tsp of marsh mallow root.  Reduce heat to a simmer and cool for 10-15 minutes. Strain out the remaining root solids and let the broth cool. Once the liquid is tepid, apply to your scalp and hair like shampoo. Keep it in your hair for a couple minutes then rinse with warm water.
