You don’t have to spend a pretty penny on the latest conditioners to get great results for your hair. A lot of wonderful hair treatments can be made with items in your kitchen. They’re a lot healthier, simple, cost effective and fun to make. Check out of some these homemade hair treatment recipes and give them a try.

Want tresses that are super silky and soft?

Try my favorite Coconut Yogurt Hair Mask recipe:

1-2 Cups of plain, full fat yogurt

1 Tablespoon Coconut oil (can use coconut cream as well)

1 Teaspoon Honey (can use agave nectar as well)

Mix well and apply to hair in sections to ensure even application. Let sit for 15 mins or more (conditioning cap optional), rinse well and continue on with your normal washing regimen. This treatment can be applied right before or after you wash your hair.

To up the shine or sheen anti on your hair…

Try the Olive and Honey Treatment:

Extra virgin olive oil (amount will vary depending on the length and density of your hair)

1 Tsp Honey

Mix together and slightly warm in the microwave. Apply to hair in sections and let sit for 15 mins or more (conditioning cap optional), rinse well and continue on with your normal washing regimen. This treatment can be applied right before or after you wash your hair.

Hair need a little strength?

Try this Hair Mayonnaise Treatment:

Plain mayonnaise (amount will be determined by how much hair you have)

1-2 Tbsp of your oil of choice – I like Extra virgin olive oil for this

Optional: 1 TBSP aloe vera gel

Mix together well. Apply to hair in sections and let sit for 15 mins or more (conditioning cap optional), rinse well and continue on with your normal washing regimen. This treatment can be applied right before or after you wash your hair.
