Natural Remedies For Dry Hair

Ok my hair is dry!!
Ive been puting bertolli classico olive oil in it. I do this about once a week.

My questions are....
1. Does it matter what kind of olive oil i put....What I mean is does it have to be pure olive oil or could it be like extra virgin olive oil. Please answer this question.

2. Give me any other great natural remedies for dry hair.
Thank you.

Learn how to use a home remedy for dry hair that involves choosing and using the right shampoo and get expert tips and advice on natural home ...

My hair has been really 'off' lately - I've been having to wash it every day as it gets oily very quickly, yet on the days I do wash it it seems very dry and frizzy.

Do you know of any natural (not commercial products) remedies to revitalise hair? I've heard fo a few - eggs, powdered milk, oil - but am not willing to try any until I know whether they work or not. Has anything worked for you, or NOT worked? What did you use and what result did you get?

Thanks!!!
I drink plenty of water already, and have very strong fingernails and hair. Its just the condition of my hair that has changed, and it is possibly just because of the weather (we start Winter tomorrow in Australia, so naturally it is very windy and cold here at the moment).

I'm not asking for personal advice about MY hair, just some recipies/remedies in general.

Thanks :)

here are a few you might not have heard.
first of all, when you shower mix a bunch of baking soda into your shampoo, then rinse clean, and then shampoo again. It is like super-charging your shampoo. I only shower every other day (too much hair, take forever to dry!) so i do this about once a month to clean it relaly well.
next, try rubbing a small amout... and I mean pretty small... or olive oil, or baby oil works even better, into your ends or entire head of hair, except your roots. this will make it less frizzy, and very shiney if you blow dry with it in.
but i totally knwo what you mena, my hair sucks, too... creative things like this make it a million times better!

if none of this works out, go in for a trim... maybe you're hair jsut needs a tune-up ;)

others...
nothing with eggs or mayo is worth it, it's nasty and time consuming and SMELLY.
rubbing corn starch into your roots gives volume and make them not look greesy, but feels gross tot he touch... it's ok if you didn't have time to shower before going out for a bit, though. bad in the long run.
most shampoos you buy can never live up to a good handful or 2 of baking soda! good luck!

I have tried perms, and having my natural hair pressed. Regardless it was still breaking on the sides and in the back. I realized my hair is just NATURALLY DRY. What can I do to keep it moisturized? What products should I use? Any homemade remedies? Please help!!

Agree with drummer.girl's suggestion of the long hair care forum. Really great advice for women of color on having healthy hair.

Try switching to a more conditioning shampoo or even cowashing (washing hair with a conditioner instead of a shampoo). A lot of people like extra virgin olive oil, but I prefer almond oil, ymmv. Honey is a wonderful humectant, you just add a little to your condtioner. It washes out fine, so don't worry about stickiness. The only issue is that it can cause hair to lighten after awhile.

Heat styling is not your friend. If you still want to press it, use a heat protectant. But it's less drying to your hair just to wear twist/braids/afro/etc. If you don't already, wear satin caps and silk scarves to bed to protect your hair from cotton pillowcases which can cause breakage.

I am a young African American women who has recently decided to stop relaxing my hair. After washing it, I can oil my scalp and two days later my hair/scalp is dry and itchy. I have mainly been using Motions shampoo/conditioner and DooGro hair grease for a couple of months now and was wondering should I still be using the same products I did when I was getting relaxers? Or is there a product that is recommended for natural hair that preserves the moisture better?

The products you are using do not help in growing, strengthing, or conditioning African American hair. Most women who go natural, also use natural hair products as well. I have decided to stop relaxing my hair as well and am now using hair products that are 100% natural. Mineral Indulgence is an all natural hair care line for African American women with natural hair. Their kiwi coconut hair smoothie conditions hair WELL, and accentuates the waves and curls in African American hair textures. I absolutely LOVE it. My dry nappy hair IMMEDIATELY looks wavy, conditioned and beautiful once I use just a little bit of the hair smoothie...best of all it's..it's all natural with herbs and essentials oils included that will help my hair to grow. Their customer service rep can recommend hair products that will treat your hair condition, and they send you free samples with every purchase. My daughter had and extremely itchy and dry scalp but the Avocado and Almond Butter Shampoo worked wonderfully in treating her problem.

Olive oil. Use it like a hot oil treatment. put some in a cup and heat it up in microwave. Not too long just enough to get warm. Put in hair, concentrating mostly on the ends. Wrap head in plastic wrap, then a towel, and let sit for 15-30 minutes. It really works. oh yeah do it on DAMP not wet hair. Good Luck!
