best products for your hair? There are
many natural ingredients which can improve its condition, and which you can
find in your kitchen cupboard or at the local supermarket. Here is a guide to 5
boosts for hair which are all readily available and inexpensive.

To help in
the maintenance of healthy hair, here are 5 easily-accessible treatments that could
contribute to better condition and shine for both men and women.
1 Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise
may not be the first thing you think of to use when conditioning your hair, but
mixing this egg-based food into your hair will give it a really deep shine.
Once you have left the mix on for 15 minutes to an hour, you can then wash it
out with a mild shampoo. You will be amazed at how glossy and shiny it is.
2 Fenugreek Seeds
Fenugreek
seeds are popular in dishes in southern Asia, and can be purchased from health
food shops or supermarkets. These special little seeds have lots of health
benefits, but here is how to use them on your head. Firstly, put 2 tablespoons
of seeds in a bowl of water and leave in the fridge overnight. In the morning,
when the seeds have softened, grind them into a paste and add the mixture to
your scalp, leaving it for about an hour. Wash it out thoroughly and this will help
to stop dandruff, as well as potentially helping to promote hair growth.
3 Beer
Beer isn’t
just for drinking, but can also work as a hair treatment. You can add a shine
to your hair by putting beer in a bottle with a spraying nozzle, and then spraying
lightly onto shampooed hair which has been towel dried. Once you have done this
you will notice the shine coming through immediately.
4 Amla
Amla powder
is made from dried Indian gooseberries, and mixed with a little lemon juice can
make your hair stronger and give it a fuller appearance. Just massage the fine
mixture into your roots and right to the tips of the hair, and leave for 20 minutes
before washing out. If you use this a few times, you will notice how much
softer and bouncier your hair will become.
5 Apple Cider Vinegar
If you want
to put life back into your limp locks, then why not try this well-known remedy?
Start by combining a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with 3 egg whites and a
couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Rub this mixture into your hair and cover
for about half an hour, using a plastic wrap or shower cap to keep your hair
warm. Once you have done this, rinse and shampoo and you will see how much
bouncier and springier your tresses really are.
Any type of hair
loss can be very distressing for both women and men. If you are concerned about
this, and seeking a diagnosis, you can contact London Centre of Trichology to speak to one of our professional trichologists. Our central London clinic
