1. Beer is the solution to Fine, Limp Hair

Believe it or not, beer contains protein which enhances shine, strength, and moisture in your hair. 

HOW: Just open up a can or bottle and let it sit open for a couple hours to release the carbonation. After you shampoo, gently massage the beer into your hair, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse. You can also put the beer in a spray bottle and spritz onto dry hair. The protein residue from the brew will help strengthen your hair. Don’t forget to rinse thoroughly! 

2. Honey is The Bee’s Knees for Split Ends

Honey is a tried and true natural healer used in facials and ointments, but did you know that you can safely put honey on your hair? In fact, it can be a miracle worker for damaged hair. Honey is antibacterial, contains vitamins and minerals, and is a humectant, which means that it attracts moisture to improve dry hair. 

HOW: Using half a cup of honey, saturate the dry ends of your hair. Put on a shower cap to capture natural heat and put your feet up for half an hour (you deserve it). Rinse out the honey to reveal glowing soft, silky hair. This treatment will help reduce split ends and fly aways.

3. Baking Soda Gets a Rise Out of Your Hair

Time to apply our science class know-how to hair care! Baking soda is an alkaline base (the other end of the spectrum from acids). This is important for hair because excess oils and styling products get trapped in the cuticle of your hair, making it feel greasy and flat. Use baking soda to lift out those unwanted oils and product build up.

HOW: Mix two tablespoons of baking soda with small amounts of water until it forms a  paste. Work this paste into your hair especially near the roots where grease collects. Let it sit for ten minutes before rinsing. Your hair will gain volume and feel bouncy and clean!

4. Avocado to Bring Down the Frizz

Did you know that the oils in avocados are very similar to the natural oils in our skin? Combined with its proteins and nutrients, this just might be the best hair-enriching fruits! Use as a smoothing balm to tame frizz and fly aways. In winter months, it can also reduce that annoying seasonal static.

HOW: Mash a ripe avocado half until smooth. Massage into damp hair and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing. Your hair will be deeply conditioned. Bonus: if you have curls, this treatment will make them soft and defined! It is 100% natural and much cheaper than a salon treatment. 

5. Let the Light in with Yogurt

Yogurt does wonders for dull, lifeless hair. It contains lactic acid, which gently cleans off the environmental film that can build up on our hair, and milk fat, which adds incredible shine.

HOW: Massage a half cup of plain yogurt into damp hair. Put on a shower cap to capture natural heat. Wrap gifts for 20 minutes to maximize your time and then rinse your hair. You will love the natural glow!
