At-Home Hair Remedies

Ban Dandruff

There is nothing better for dandruff hair than the antiseptic properties of thyme. Thyme fights the bacteria that causes flakes so this recipe is just the thing to get you back into black clothes again.

What You Need:

• 7 tablespoons of dried thyme
• 2 cups of water

Directions Boil the dried thyme with the two cups of water for 10 minutes. Strain the thyme out and apply water to clean, damp hair until hair is completely soaked. No need to rinse.

Ban Dry Hair

Bananas aren't only there to be eaten; they're also an excellent agent to help with dry hair. Try this delicious concoction right at home.

What You Need

• 1 banana (potassium softens hair shaft)
• 1 egg (natural moisturizer)
• 3 tablespoons of honey (natural moisturizer)
• 3 tablespoons of milk (strengthens hair follicles)
• 5 tablespoons of olive oil (deep conditioner)

Directions: Mash the banana, egg, honey, milk and olive oil in a bowl. Make sure it's well-combined. Then apply to hair. Let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse off with a gentle shampoo.

Ban Oily Hair

Oily hair can be a big problem but use this mask once a week and your hair will feel super smooth and shiny.

What You Need

• 5 tablespoons of plain yogurt (moisturizes without oils)
• 1 tablespoon of baking soda (absorbs oils on your scalp)

Ban Dull Hair

There is nothing worse than walking around with dull, lifeless hair. Strawberries help get your hair back to its natural shine.

What You Need
