How can I fix my damaged hair with household items?

I used to straighten or put a lot of gel in my hair, and over the summer I haven't done anything to it to try to get it healthy, but its still damaged. I don't have a car so I cannot go anywhere to buy a product, so what household items can I use to treat my damaged hair?How can I fix my damaged hair with household items?
Avocado makes a wonderful hair conditioning treatment because it is rich in natural oils as well as vitamin B-6 and E. It is also packed with protein and has wonderful hydrating properties. You can use mashed avocado alone or mix it with lemon juice and/or aloe or mayonnaise to make an easy to use paste. Apply your chosen mixture to your hair and then comb it through with a wide-tooth comb or a hair pick. Wrap the hair with a towel and let it sit for between 15 and 45 minutes. All that is left to then is to wash, rinse, and set.





Banana can help restore life to dull looking hair. Simply mix it together with a little bit of olive oil to make a natural paste. Apply liberally throughout the hair before it is shampooed. Comb the mixture through with a hair pick or wide-tooth comb. Let it sit for 20 minutes to one hour (covered or uncovered). Finally, shampoo, rinse, and style. Your newly revitalized hair should bounce with more elasticity and glow with revitalized shine.





Beer can add body, fullness, softness, and shine to dull, flat hair. The proteins found in the malt and hops of beer actually help to coat, rebuild, and repair damaged hair. The quality of the beer isn’t of major concern, although flat beer works better than fresh. You also want to choose a variety that doesn’t have too strong of an odor, or the scent left behind could be overpowering. Apply the beer to freshly shampooed hair, working it through to the ends. Finally rinse with lukewarm water and style as usual.





Eggs can help restore shine to dry hair. They are also useful in taming frizz. Eggs contain natural fatty acids that infuse split ends with the nutrients needed to restore the hair’s natural shine. Make a conditioner by combining egg yolk with olive oil and water. Use it as you would a regular conditioner, and let it sit on the hair for at least five minutes. If your hair is really dry, let it sit for a minimum of ten minutes. All that is left to do then is to rinse and style.





Mayonnaise has long been recognized for its ability to help condition severely dry hair. It has natural oils and vitamins that infuse the hair with softness and shine. However, using mayonnaise alone may not have the maximum effect you want. If that is the case, try a mixture that is one part mayo, one part egg, and one part olive oil. The other ingredients have additional healing properties that are helpful. Combined with the mayonnaise, they make a much better overall hair mask.


Olive oil nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair, while the couldn’t-be-easier process is both stress-reducing and health-promoting.





I hope this helps!

You can use mayonnaise or olive oil to help put some moisture into it. Or you can use your normal conditioner. Leave it in your hair for a few hours with a hot towel around it. Wash your hair every other day and just be extremely gentle with it.


I have had beyond damaged hair before. I did this, and with a trim every so often, my hair got healthy.
dont use bar soap 4 your hair and dont cut you own hair either!! im not sure of any household items but if u have dry hair then towel dry you hair before u condition it, it soaks it up like a sponge comb it through and leave it in for a few minutes. u dont even have 2 get any fancy ones just regular conditioner suited to your hair type.
You could use your bar soap


as shampoo for your hair.


You could use scissors o trim ur own hair


*just dont cut it too low
