Shiny Hair Solutions From The Pantry

Home Remedies for Shiny and Healthy Hair From Your Kitchen

I think that we all have more problems keeping our hair shiny and healthy looking as we start to get older. Part of this may be natural aging, but some may result from the buildup of chemicals on our scalp. We have written before about natural hair products, but we are also exploring some home remedies for shiny hair. Yes, you read us right. Many people swear that the most effective solutions are right there in your pantry!

Strip Out Hair Product Buildup – One professional stylist suggested adding a little baking soda to your morning shampoo. It works very well as a hair clarifier without buying an expensive product.

Dry Hair – One solution may be as simple as washing your hair less. Your body produces natural oils, and if you wash them out too often, you are not letting them do their work. It may seem radical, but you may try washing your hair every other day instead of every day.  If you just have to wash your hair every day, consider just using water every other day, and then reserve your shampoo for alternate days.

Another solution comes from the pantry.  We got this tip for shiny hair from your kithen from this article: Home Made Shiny Hair. It is very simple.  You just need an egg, a teaspoon of honey, and a teaspoon of olive oil. Mix it all together, apply to your hair, and then let it sit for 5 minutes before you rinse it out. If you have very long hair, you may need to double this recipe.

Some people also tell us that mayo makes a great conditioner. But it is made from eggs and oil, so it is probably a similar solution to the recipe above. If it works for you, that is great!

The beer solution is also very popular. Some say to just pour beer in your hair and rinse it out. Others actually have us cooking the beer down to a syrup, and then mixing that with a bottle of shampoo.
