Home Remedies for Hair Growth

Looking to grow out your locks into long luscious hair? Here are a few Home Remedies for Hair Growth to get quicker longer hair.

• A tea and beer rinse is a good way to bring shine to your hair. Boil used tea leaves in enough water, let it cool and then use this liquid as the last rinse.
  To remove the dirt and other matter from your hair you can use one fourth cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with one gallon of condensed water. This can be stored in the refrigerator and can be used every two weeks for clean, smooth, silky and shiny hair. The proper way to use this solution is to wet your hair with warm water, shampoo it later rinse it. Pour two cups of this mixture and leave it in your hair for 5-10 minutes. The last stage is to rinse your hair with cold water.
• To get that extra shine for your hair brew one cup of strong espresso, let it cool. Pour the espresso over your dry hair and leave it for 20 minutes. Rinse it with cold water to get the extra shine and glow.
  Egg shampoo at home requires 1 egg, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon castile soap, 1/2 a cup water or herbal tea and last but not the least 5 drops of essential oils of your choice. Blend all these together to make a shampoo which can bring shine to your hair.
• Many of us who want to clean their hair use shampoos. Instead massage baking soda into your hair and scalp. This absorbs oil and loosens the dead skin on the scalp. Rinse it thoroughly with water.In the initial stages the hair would be dry but after several weeks you would be dandruff free with smooth and shiny hair.
  Lemon juice mixed with water can also be used as a last rinse to give your hair a shiny and bouncy look.
• For more shine use honey to keep your scalp moisturized. You can make honey lotion for your hair by mixing 3 teaspoons of honey in a pint of water.
• The use of henna as a natural conditioner proves to be very beneficial for your hair. It helps to bring back the bounce and flair of your hair if it has been lacking for quite a while.
• You can try any of these home remedies, but make sure you are only applying one per shampoo. Never mix any of these suggestions in the same shampoo setting. You might want to try a different one once a week.

What Damages Hair

Are you Damaging your Own Hair?
Everyone loves to blame others for their hair becoming damaged, or for their hair breaking off. Most often believe it or not you may be the reason for your own hair problems.

What could be the cause of the damage?

Are you getting your hair trimmed every 8 to 10 weeks? Like I said earlier I can’t stress this enough, many women will look in the sink and wonder why their hair is starring back at them YOU MUST GET YOUR ENDS TRIMMED. In order for your hair to grow and stay healthy your split or damaged ends must be cut on a regular basis.

Your hair can also break from the top of your head as well. This happens if you’re pulling your hair in tight rubber bands, or super tight ponytails. Give your hair some time away from the pony. Our hair grows best in its natural state which is wearing it down. So if your ends are trimmed and your notice you hair is still breaking off try wearing it down for a while. Also try taking some daily vitamins because you may be vitamin deficient.

Other hair breaking bad habits can include blow drying, straightening, perming, coloring, and curling your hair. If you are doing any of things too often you should invest in a good olive oil treatment every week. Most likely your hair is dry and it is screaming for moisturizers. You should also use a protective product or serum in your hair before applying any form of heat.

It could also be your pillow case, if you find yourself waking up to hair all over your pillow, then blame the pillow case. Investing in a good pillow case is important, it keeps your hair from breaking off, you rest easier, and it can also prevent wrinkles. The best kind of pillow case that can stop your hair damage is satin. These can be purchased at your local Wal-Mart, or for high end quality your local department store. If you don’t like stain pillow cases, you can also try Egyptian cotton, their surface is so soft and smooth which means healthier locks for you.

Funky Hair Colors

Sometimes, I don’t want stick out too much. I will look just like everyone else, and not draw attention to myself at work or at home. Other times, however, it is different. I can’t get enough of a funky hair color or an unusual style. Having the right funky hair colors can really change the way people react to me. They will think I’m strange or different, unusual or special. Some of this attention is negative, but some of it is positive too. Either way, it can feel good to have people paying attention to you. I know that I like it.

My favorite semi permanent color is blue. A lot of people think that this looks too artificial, but I disagree. It is not looking artificial that is unfashionable, it is looking garish or uncomfortable. If you have bright purple hair, for example, or even worse, pink hair, people will find it hard to look at you. But blue is just a funky hair color that everyone can get into. Of course they will know it’s a dye job, but that is the whole point. With blue hair, you can do things your own way and still harmonize with your surroundings. That is what a funky hair colors all about.

Of course, you should look at pictures of hair color before you settle on anything semipermanent. After all, your hair will never look quite the same until you grow it out again. Even if you dye your funky hair color back to normal, the dye will still have lingering effects in your hair. The color will not be quite right, the highlights will be different, and the texture will be different. This is why it is important to only choose a funky hair color if you really want it. If you’re not sure what you want, try dying your hair a slightly lighter shade. Do not do something bold unless you really are prepared to go with it. Otherwise, you will have damaged your hair to no good end.

One of the great things about funky hair colors is that you do not have to worry too much about trends. After all, if you’re using a funky hair color you are saying that you don’t care about convention. To return to my example of blue hair, when it is in style it will look fashionable and when it is out of style it will look counter cultural. Either way, you can’t lose.
