6 best types of homemade hair conditioner for hair restoration

Everyone has at one point of the other, looked at a celebrity and wished I had hair like them. Some even go so far as to spend tons of cash of chemicals that claim to make their hair silky smooth and shiny but ends up making it dry and in tangles all the time. We spend hours of spa treatments and shampooing and in the end, never match the celebs’ looks. One thing you have to realize is that the only way you can make your hair look good is by taking care of its health. Hair care is all about hygiene and cleaning and regular grooming and it requires patience. But it’s totally worth it. Natural means are really effective when hair care is concerned and a homemade hair conditioner can work wonders.

Ever since the first hair conditioner was introduced, people have been turning to it for hair care and now it’s a fundamental hair care fact that hair conditioners are as essential as oiling and shampooing your hair. There’s tons of companies that claim to have the most natural and the most effective hair conditioners but nothing beats the real natural hair conditioners that you can make from natural foods. They provide the nutrients your hair needs in order to grow and gain the lustrous look and they bind the hair follicles firmly to your skin and reduce hair fall and even perform hair restoration.

Most Common Hair Problems:

The first step to haircare is identifying the problems our hair faces, so that we can target and treat them individually.

Hair fall

Hair fall is the most common problem among both men and women and is common for anyone. Normally, our hair grows in a regular cycle. It grows for a few months in a row and falls away for around 3 months in order to accommodate new hairs in its place. Our hair fall rate can be accelerated by excessive straightening or perming or using other heating tools like blow dryers as the heat affects the roots of our hair and makes our hair less sturdy. Other means of hair fall include excessive use of chemicals like artificial styling products, hair colouring chemicals and even changes in hormone levels.

Dandruff

Dandruff is a major scalp problem that most people suffer from. What’s dandruff? Small pieces of dead skin stuck in your hair. If your scalp, the skin on your head, becomes weak, it cracks in numerous areas, resulting in flakes of skin all over your head and these flakes cause itching. Dandruff is causes by lack of hygiene, dry skin, skin condition, bad diet, improper showering pattern or even stress. It’s not a huge deal to hair restoration, but still, it’s pretty bad to look at and nobody likes to see dandruff all over the top of your torso.

Split Ends

This is a very common phenomenon among women. As your hair grows, the natural oils produced by the scalp, to keep the hair moist and strong, fail to reach the tips of the hair. This causes the hair tips to become brittle and dry. Now, your hair is surrounded by a protective layer called the cuticle that keeps it intact. When your hair becomes dry, the cuticle at the tip of your hair get shredded easily and causes your hair tips to split into multiple tips. This can be avoided by trimming your hair down by a quarter of an inch every two months or so.

Frizzy Hair

This too is most common among women. Frizzy hair is just tangled up, unmanageable hair. If you hair is too dry, it becomes frizzy and difficult to separate due to lack of moisture. Suggested diagnosis would be to wash your hair regularly with moisturizing shampoo followed by a conditioner in order to keep it moist. Frizzy hair gets tangled up easily so care needs to be taken when engaging in activities which could involve your hair coming in contact with any chemicals.

Greasy Hair

The glands in our hair produce something called sebum, which is a waxy substance and keeps our hair water-proof. Sometimes, when you use too much gels or anything that has too much liquid chemicals in it, the sebaceous glands assume that your hair is getting more wet than usual, so it produces more sebum in order to water-proof even more. This makes your hair greasy and oily and makes it look dull and withered. Restraint from usage of gels is recommended in order to avoid greasy hair.
