Natural Hair Care Treatments: 2

used-tea-bag-staining-1Now that we have talked about dandruff and lemon juice, let’s go ahead and dive right into another technique and natural hair care remedy that I have used many, many times.  Tea leaves are actually fantastic for your hair and after making your tea – if you boil the used tea bag in two to three cups of hot water, you will actually be able to create a regenerating rinsing solution for dull hair.

If you are looking for some silky strands, you can use henna extract, as it is by far the most efficient.  Basically, you mix a henna paste with eggs and lemon juice and use it as a hair conditioner.  I can promise it works!

Finally, if you have dry hair, two to three teaspoons of olive or coconut oil can be used in the mixture above, as that is something that can really liven up and repair your hair!
