To some, hair is just another detail of our makeup. To others, and in fact many, hair is a big special deal.
If you hate to see your hair breaking & have tried everything to stop it from doing so all to no avail, then do not skip a line till the end.
If you apply the insight from this piece, the results you’d get in at least two months will wow you!
Why Your Hair Keeps Breaking
Hair, in various kinds of textures, colors, and lengths, is beautiful.
A lot of men and women love to grow their hair. The fact is we want to look in the mirror and catch a reflection of healthy-looking hair, as much as we also want to feel a rich texture when we touch it.
For many, it’s not that our hair stopped growing; but we do not notice significant growth because while our hair may grow some inches, it keeps falling off, so it’s like positive and negative canceling each other. The result is nothing. No visible growth.
So, it’s not about all the superb hair products that promote growth. If you don’t do something about your falling hair, you will feel frustrated about grooming your hair.
Hair breaks off for various reasons including dryness, poor diet, excess washing, harsh chemicals, and excess heat infusion, amongst others.
Natural DIY Ways to Stop Hair Breakage
If nature can fix it, why choose synthetic? We love nature’s way because it does the work without causing harm.
The three methods provided here are all natural and you can do them by yourself right from your bathroom or wherever!
Check out these proven and all-time ingredients that help prevent hair breaking, boosting it for more growth.
1. Eggs
Hair is made up of over 70% protein known as keratin.
(https://www.healthline.com/health/keratin). For this reason, any treatment rich in protein is great for hair because it would help to replenish lost protein and increase protein levels, which is crucial to healthy hair.
Whole eggs are packed with rich nutrients such as proteins, selenium, and biotin, making them ideal for strengthening hair follicles and elasticity, which consequently stops breakage.
To use eggs for hair, simply beat one or two eggs into a bowl and whisk properly. Part your hair into sections and add egg, working it into your hair gently from the roots upwards.
Allow it to sit on your hair for about 30 mins and wash using sparingly warm water.
The wash water you use should be lukewarm because you don’t want the eggs getting cooked on your hair and forming white residues when you use hot water.
To pamper your hair even further, you can add a tablespoon of honey and olive oil to the eggs, mix properly and apply.
Adding just one whole egg to your hair once in a week or two is such a great practice that can keep your hair strong and resistant to breakage.
I know, eggs don’t smell the best! But the end goal should give you the morale to bear it all.
2. Green Tea
Yes, you read that right, green tea!
Green tea is already infamous for its numerous health benefits to the body. I enjoy a cup of green tea as often as possible and I cannot deny how zestful and refreshed it leaves me, both physically and mentally. Green tea is amazing.
But did you know that it is very beneficial for hair? I don’t mean as an aftermath of taking it into your body, but rather the reward you get for applying it directly to your hair.
Green tea is packed with powerful ingredients such as catechins, vitamins A, B, C & D, and amino acids. All of these pack it with strong anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antioxidant properties.
Green tea also contains polyphenols making them active agents that strengthen both roots and follicles of hair. Green tea helps keep your hair growing healthily.
To make green tea for hair, brew a bag of any quality green tea brand in hot water and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes so it becomes tepid. Depending on the temperature where you are, this could take longer or shorter.
When the solution is cool, you can pour it into a spray bottle and spray into your scalp and hair while you massage softly.
Pro tip: I love to add a few drops of olive oil or vinegar to give me the perfect hair boost and shine.
Vinegar balances the PH of hair, reduces dandruff, and works as an antifungal agent.
Olive oil keeps saving our skin and hair, you can never miss it when you add a few drops of this oil to your hair therapy.
3. Avocado Pear
Avocados. I call them balls of goodness! They are one of the infamous ingredients you’d find in hair and skincare regimens.
The reason isn’t farfetched.
Avocados are rich in healthy fats, vitamins C, B6, & E, fiber, healthy fats, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium, and folate. Little wonder you cannot ignore their immense dermatological and hair benefits.
These nutrients found in avocados are so vital for the growth and health of hair. Each time I apply an avocado mask on my hair, I literally blush at how opulent and bouncy it becomes.
To make an avocado mask for hair, slice the avocado fruit into two and scoop out the yummy flesh inside into a bowl. Mesh with a spatula to a fine mix and there you have it!
Dampen your hair with some water before applying the mix to your scalp and hair, section by section. Massage softly and allow to sit for about 30 minutes.
Half to one fruit should serve, depending on your hair volume and the size of the avocado.
You can explore by adding some drops of olive oil or be like me who loves to combine my avocado with an egg for magical results.
Combining avocados with eggs and olive oil instantly moisturizes your hair and defines your curls. You literally see the curls popping after a few minutes.
When you’re ready to wash, rinse your hair with warm water, and then use a mild shampoo.
Pro tips: while you can gently dab your hair with a towel to stop water from dripping, do not towel dry your hair or apply direct heat to it.
