    3 Affordable At-Home Treatments To Deal With Damaged Hair

    Damaged hair can be such a pain, but we’ve got great news – repairing it doesn’t have to be expensive. As we’ll show you in the video above, it’s actually really easy to do a hair treatment for damaged hair at home. We’ve also uncovered a simple styling trick that will help to soothe your locks by cutting back on heat styling – minus the bed hair!

    Don’t head to the nearest salon or shell out big bucks to repair your hair – follow our easy instructions for an effective hair damage treatment at home! So if you’re sick of dealing with stressed-out strands, here are three easy ways to get your hair back to its healthy, shiny best – without breaking the bank.

    Healthy hair hack #1: Create a DIY hair treatment for damaged hair

    You might be surprised to know that you can give dry or damaged hair a boost with pantry staples, such as a banana. Bananas are a great source of Vitamin E and also contain natural oils to help soften and repair your hair and improve its elasticity, which can help your hair to be less susceptible to breakage.

    Simply mash 1 ripe banana and work it into your damp hair, as we’ve demonstrated in the video above. Allow it to sit in your hair for an hour, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Done!

    Healthy hair hack #2: Pick up an affordable at-home hair mask from the supermarket

    Another affordable at-home option is to purchase a supermarket deep treatment that will give your hair the hydration it needs. We love the Palmers Coconut Oil Deep Conditioning Protein Pack which, at only $3.99, is super-affordable and provides an extra-nourishing fix for dry, dehydrated or unruly hair.

    The formula contains coconut and monoi oil to restore the hair’s moisture, as well as keratin and silk proteins to strengthen, repair and add shine. It’s also made with ethically and sustainably-sourced natural ingredients and is completely free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil, gluten and dyes. Plus, it smells really, really good so it’s a no-brainer, really.

    Healthy hair hack #3: Ditch the hot tools and style your hair naturally

    Allowing your hair to dry naturally is another easy way to keep damaged hair at bay. You can even style it without using styling tools, which will give your hair a break from all that harsh heat.

    For cute, easy waves separate your wet hair into two sections, before twisting each section into a tight, side bun. Leave them in place throughout the day or while you sleep, and when you unravel the buns you’ll have fresh, tousled waves! You’re welcome.

    Olalex! Just works!

    My hair is not damaged but it is very dry and prone to tangles. I like to use jojoba oil as a pre-shampoo treatment.

    Ncheaul 25 Feb 2019 11:17 PM

    Great tips! But since I have naughty hair, I always have to use tongs to align my hair. My hairdresser advised me with quality tongs from https://greathaircurlers.com/best-curling-iron-long-hair/. Now I think it's better to buy the AsaVea Ionic Hair Straightener Review or the ProCabello Flat Iron Review. Ionic uses advanced and advanced infrared technology, and Iron heats up with ceramics. Has someone used such tongs? Did you like everything?

    Interesting tips. I like the banana hair mask. Easy to do it at home and low-cost natural remedy.

    I have the palmers mask in the bathroom, it was hiding away in the back of a draw, I will have to give it a go

    I don't like the thought of banana in my hair!

    Humm! it's sound very good for every women who like to treat their hair in home without going to visit any salon or center .. anyone who are suffering from hair loss problem and looking to treat in such a great way that to recover the loss hair then they can visit hair transplant in Peshawar...

    Iv been using coconut oil, olive oil and vitamin e mixutre on my hair and it has never looked so shiny and healthy. I have severly overprocessed hair and i put together this treatment leave in overnight or for at least 10 mins while doing housework. Plus the coconut smells like summer!

    Ooh I need to use one of these, ASAP

    The banana diy mask sounds really unappealing :x

    Sootyhere 3 Jul 2018 8:18 PM

    I like the smell of banana but not sure if I am up to putting it in my hair

    Amazing!

    skye_nicole_ 17 Jun 2018 8:21 PM

    My favourite way to look after my hair is to use a hair mask from hello hair. All of their hair masks smell so amazing and always manage to make my hair feel so much healthier and softer after I use them. :)

    My hair needs extra help during winter.

    Mixing a few drops in with your shampoo and conditioner of a hair oil is very nourishing too and good if you are i a hurry

    This sounds like a great treatment! Hair expert ballantyne

    I'm always looking for ways to help repair my damaged hair. I don't know about putting banana on my hair but I am going to try the Palmers Coconut Oil Deep Conditioning Protein Pack.

    Jodiem17 9 May 2018 6:34 PM

    Plain oil not just hot oil treatments works great such as coconut oil or she’s butter too, but I find too much makes it greasy- rinse with apple cider vinegar if you use too much. I have really fine hair since being sick and nothing is working anymore I need. Thickner too

    Floreview 8 May 2018 9:34 PM

    Can anyone recommend a good product for fine hair?! I find some mask a bit too heavy and makes me look oily and weight down. MUK has been good so far but anything else?

    Wn0873 29 Jan 2019 8:35 PM

    I've recently started using the Grow mask by Pump, and it has improved the condition of my hair greatly. Still waiting on the promised thickness/length results but its only been a couple of weeks. My hair is fine, damaged and oily - the unholy trifecta.

    veronica_elizabeth 30 Apr 2018 1:04 PM

    Banana in my hair? Not so sure. I think I'll stick to coconut oil and argan oil treatments!
