Caring for and styling your hair can add to the cost of the holiday season. Follow these five amazing hair hacks to get gorgeous hair while saving on time and money.
Lighten Your Hair with Lemon Juice
Mix one cup of lemon juice with ¼ cup of coconut oil. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray it onto your hair until your hair is damp. For best results, apply the lemon juice to unwashed hair. Leave for one to two hours, then rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Mixing lemon juice with coconut oil helps to lighten your hair without damaging it.Cleanse Your Hair with Baking Soda
Mix one to two tsps. of baking soda with a small amount of water to create a thick paste. Massage the paste into damp hair and leave it for 15 minutes before rinsing your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Baking soda helps to remove styling product residue without stripping your hair of its natural oils.Absorb Excess Oil with Cornstarch
Apply one tsp. of cornstarch to your roots using a large make-up brush or spice shaker. Massage the cornstarch into your hair then brush it out using a natural bristle brush. Cornflower removes excess oil without the added chemicals found in commercial dry shampoos.Add Body to Limp Hair with Beer
Mix 1/2 cup of flat beer with one tsp. of sunflower oil and a raw egg. Apply to clean, damp hair and leave it for 15 minutes before rinsing your hair thoroughly with cold water. Beer contains yeast, which helps to add volume to limp hair.Add Shine to Dull Hair with Mayonnaise
Massage full-fat mayonnaise into damp hair from the roots to the tips. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it for at least 30 minutes before shampooing and rinsing your hair thoroughly with cold water. Mayonnaise adds protein to your hair, making it stronger and shinier.
