Ways to Use Home Ingredients as Natural Hair Products

You do not need to put in a lot of effort to find the right natural hair products that not only specifically cater to your needs but are also within a decent price range, readily accessible, and healthy. There is a possibility though, to entertain the idea that hair products can be made out of produce that is part of an average person’s life by a simple trip to his or her refrigerator, or at best, the produce section in a supermarket. Listed below are such products that are natural, healthy, and easy to use and find.

Using bananas for hair masks
A silent component of bananas that no one talks about enough is silica. Silica helps in incorporating collagen into the body. Collagen is associated with an extremely desirable ability to make hair thicker and stronger. An added benefit is that bananas contain a good amount of potassium which also regulates bodily functions. A blend of coconut and milk would make an ideal hair mask. It is recommended that the bananas are ripe and are at least more than one in quantity. An addition of coconut milk would make the ideal mixture that can be applied and left alone for 30 minutes before being rinsed off.

Adding moisture to the hair with products having a rich lactose content
Milk fat is universally accepted as one of the best naturally available moisturizers. Additionally, lactic acid is extremely beneficial in stripping away all the dirt and dust that can settle on the hair due to the prevalent polluting urban development. Lactose-rich products can also moisturize the hair and are good to get rid of any dryness that is caused by artificial hair products and hair gels. Sour cream and yogurt are the most recommended milk products for hair care. They can be applied directly on the hair and left to settle for 15 to 30 minutes before being washed.

Using beer for gaining springy hair
It might be a slightly unconventional choice even though it works. Beer is rich in yeast and vitamin B. Vitamin B can increase the thickness of the hair. However, it cannot be applied to the hair directly. The process, however, is simple. Half a cup of beer must be kept out at room temperature. This is to make sure that the level of carbonation is reduced to a large extent. Two tablespoons of oil (usually light oil like canola or sunflower) should be added. After a few hours, this natural hair product can be directly applied to the hair. When the solution evaporates, the protein remains that fall behind can provide a lot of volume to the hair.

Getting rid of the oil with cornstarch

Cornstarch is one of the most financially-efficient natural hair products that has not been given its due credit. It can absolve the hair off excessive oil. Furthermore, cornstarch is a great source of iron. Iron is known to accelerate the growth of hair cells. One tablespoon of cornstarch directly subjected to oily hair is more than enough. It can be brushed off after 15 minutes with the help of a hairbrush.
