You’ve probably heard of this awesome hair treatment for damaged hair before, all the ingredients are probably in your kitchen right now! Combine mayo (room temp if possible), ½ cup of olive oil and 3 egg yolks in a bowl and mix.

Don’t you hate when you buy bananas and before you know it they’re all soft and too ripe?! I found the perfect damaged hair treatment where you can use those mushy bananas! Take your overripe banana, an avocado, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix, and apply to damp hair. Leave this mixture in for about 20 minutes and rinse well with cold water. Your hair will be super shiny and soft!

Honey in your hair? Yes! Honey is one of the best hair treatments for damaged hair. Simply take a ½ cup of honey and massage into damp hair. You can also throw in a couple tablespoons of olive oil so the honey is easier to wash out and you’ll have the smoothest hair in town! It might seem strange to apply such a sticky substance on your hair but honey is great for strengthening and moisturizing damaged hair.

This stuff stinks to high heaven but it is useful for SO many things! Combine one part water and one part ACV in a small spray bottle and rub on your scalp for itchy scalps. For a great damaged hair treatment, mix ½ cup of water and ½ cup of cold water and pour the mixture on your hair after your shampoo and condition your hair and leave it on for about 5 minutes.

The avocados and bananas are back. Mix ½ of a banana, a tablespoon on plain yogurt, and ¼ of an avocado and coat your hair and rinse after 20 minutes. Bananas contain many vitamins and help soften your hair while avocados have fatty acids, vitamins, and nutrients to moisturize your hair. You can always eat the leftover banana and yogurt while you let the hair treatment set!

Beer is good for more than chugging and marinating with steak; it’s a great clarifying and detangling treatment for dry hair. In fact, beer is an essential ingredient in many of the best hair treatments for damaged hair. The protein in beer (from the hops and barley) helps to moisturize, enhance shine and strengthen your hair. Around once a week, shampoo your hair as usual then pour a bottle of beer through your hair, massage, then rinse. Ta da! Soft and shiny hair will be yours.

Avocados are making a lot of cameos today and for good reason. Avocados are like nature’s moisturizer for your hair and skin. For this hair treatment, mash 1 avocado then thoroughly mix with and 1 tablespoon each of baking powder and olive oil. Apply to your hair for 15 minutes and rinse. If you have an extra avocado after you make your hair treatment, you can whip the pulp of another avocado and apply it on your face for a moisturizing mask!

It seems like coconut oil is like the IT oil right now, it’s everywhere! If you own a jar of this multi-purpose wonder, you can use it to replenish and revitalize damaged hair. Grab 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and heat in intervals in the microwave until it turns to liquid. Test to make sure it’s not too hot to apply to your scalp, then add 1 egg and mix. After mixing, apply to your hair and cover it with a shower cap, saran wrap, whatever you can find to cover it up, leave on for 30-40 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

I know this is starting to sound like a salad, but believe me, it’s an amazing hair treatment for dry or damaged hair. Start with blending 1 egg with a tablespoon of olive oil and ¼ of a cucumber. Next, massage through hair and rinse thoroughly with warm water after 10 minutes for soft and silky strands.

Most of the recipes thus far have contained multiple ingredients but if you’re short on cash or time, simply use 1 mashed up avocado and apply to your hair or add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to your hair, wait around 10 minutes, and rinse. You can get just as good of results with one ingredient as you can with two or three and your hair will be softer and more manageable than ever!
