• Vinegar. Who would’ve thought that vinegar would actually be good for hair?  Certainly not me, but I’m willing to try anything.  Try adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar to your hair as you rinse or rub into your scalp several times a week before you shampoo.  You can also add a 1/4 cup of vinegar to a large bowl and drape your hair into it for a few minutes or if it’s easier, add the mixture to a spray bottle and spritz on hair.
• Banana and Avocado. Mash 1 banana and 1 avocado together.   Spread mixture on your hair and leave it for up to 1 hour.  Rinse with warm water.
• Mayonnaise. Use real mayo, not the fat-free kind.  Spread 1 tablespoon all over hair and cover with a shower cap.  Let it sit for at least 30 minutes and rinse out completely.
• Beer. It’s not just for happy hour!  After you shampoo, try rinsing with a little beer to restore the shine.  Just make sure you get it all out so you’re not smelling like a brewery.
• Coconut or Olive Oil. Rub a little oil into your scalp.  Cover with a cap and leave in overnight.  In the morning, shampoo and rinse as usual.
• Milk and Honey. Warm 2 cups of whole milk with 1 teaspoon honey.  Pour the mixture on to dry hair and let it sit for 15 minutes.  Shampoo and rinse as usual.
