According to Beauty Tips 411, here are three home recipes for hair that are perfect for damaged and dry hair types. These are frugal and easy ways to make a homemade conditioner.
Homemade Hair Treatments For Damaged Hair
1. Avocado Deep Conditioner Hair Mask– Using 1 small jar of mayonnaise and 1/2 avocado. Mix all ingredients, smooth into head being careful to work it to the ends, Use shower cap or plastic wrap to seal body heat in and leave on for 20 minutes.
2. Mayonnaise Your Hair – Apply 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to your dry hair, work in really well, cover your head with a plastic wrap, and let it set for about 15 minutes.
3. Olive Oil Hair Mask – Combine 2 tablespoon honey and 3 tablespoon olive oil together. Apply thoroughly and then cover with plastic wrap and set for 15 minutes. These beauty tips and treatments are great on any type of hair and safe enough for those with sensitive scalps as well.
Homemade Shampoo
4. Baking Soda Hair Cleansing Mud – Mix 1 heaping Tbsp. of Baking Soda and 3-5 drops of essential oils of your choice (lavender, patchouli, rosemary, sweet orange are some of mine:not necessarily all together) with enough water to make a paste. Mix this in the shower. It took a little getting use too, with there being no suds.
5. Natural Chemical Free Shampoo – Use these three ingredients and use as a natural DIY shampoo, ¼ cup distilled water ( deionized water is ok ), ¼ cup liquid castile soap ( I use unscented ), and ½ teaspoon jojoba, grapeseed or other light vegetable oil.
6. Chamomile Fields Shampoo – Let the tea bags steep in 1 1/2 cups of boiled water for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and with the remaining liquid add the soap flakes. Let stand until the soap softens. Stir in glycerin until mixture is well blended. Pour into a bottle. Keep in a dark, cool place.

I wouldn’t recommend using Prell on a regular basis; my mom’s hairdresser recommended it to her years ago as a laundry aid to remove grass stains from my white pants (said it’s basically a detergent). Worked GREAT on the grass stains!
Regarding the baking soda technique: I have been using a modified version of this, instead of shampoo, daily for 3 months now, and my hair is healthier than it’s been in decades, and without regular conditioning (I air-dry, but use a flat-iron lightly in spots); however, my version uses such a small amount of baking soda that I’m sure that is why I have not experienced any negative results. I use 1 TBSP of baking soda mixed with one cup of warm water in a squeeze bottle; I squeeze some of this ‘soda water’ at the roots, massage my scalp, and rinse. This recipe lasts me for a week.
The reason I came to the site today was not because of any damage; I was looking for an occasional mask recipe, just as a preventative, since I do use a flat iron lightly most days. My hair gets a bit static-y in the areas I use it, so figured I might need a bit more moisture.
After washing my hair, I wrap it up in a 100% cotton t-shirt. I used to wrap it up in a bath towel and it dried my hair out too much. Using the t-shirt, my hair is much softer and less frizzy.
Gonna try this at home! I am totally interested to put my self in this kind of challenge. Hope you can show a short video tutorial on actual how to make shampoo. That would big help on me.
do you put the vinegar on after you condition and NOT rinse it? Then can I go on about my daily styling? I’ve heard yes and no on this. Thank you!
