Seeing a clump of hair in your shower can be really upsetting; not to forget all the money you’ve spent on the best hair products. So how are you going to fix this?

We’ve gone back to basics with natural remedies that have worked wonders for generations. Want to get long, healthy hair without using expensive, chemical-laden products? We’ve got the scoop!

1 Coconut Oil

Coconut oil for hairCoconut oil works as a detangler, gets rid of dandruff, aids speedy hair growth, and the best part of it all: strengthens your strands. Packed with all-natural goodness, it penetrates hair faster than most conditioners and deeply nourishes hair. Plus, it doesn’t contain chemicals that might irritate sensitive scalps and hair. Need we say more? Grab a bottle of the good stuff today!

2 Don’t Wash Away The Moisture

This could potentially be a tough one to follow, but it makes all the difference. Wash your hair every 2 – 3 days instead of daily. This gives your hair enough time to re-generate natural oils, which gives your mane lustre and body. When you wash too often, your hair becomes dry, frizzy, and less manageable.

3 Honey, Please

Honey is a great add-on to conditioners. Filled with antioxidants, it works as an effective treatment for damaged hair. Adding it to your conditioner helps the honey lather for easier application. One tablespoon mixed with the conditioner does the trick.

4 Keep It Cool

Try avoiding hot showers when washing your hair. The heat strips your hair of its natural oils and makes it brittle. Opt for lukewarm water before applying your conditioner as it opens your hair cuticles for better penetration. Then, use cold water to rinse off your conditioner and close your hair cuticles – this gives your hair a healthy shine. Cold washes also help your dyed colour last longer.

5 Regular Trimming

Hair trim with comb and scissorYes, it’s that easy. Regular trims keep your hair looking (and feeling) healthy. It helps you get rid of the split ends which leads to breakage and a frizzy texture. Just take an inch off every 2 months to keep your locks luscious and strong.
