Would you like glamorous hair, so you should trust our advice and try out new products without petrochemical glamorous hair can conjure. Home remedies can do some things better than expensive drugs from the drugstore!

Shiny hair comes from within

Shiny hair with a healthy structure can only be created if the diet is right for it. Only if the scalp is permanently supplied with the right nutrients can shiny hair with healthy substance grow from it.

Protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements are the building blocks for strong, shiny and all-round healthy hair. If you don’t eat properly, you often get the receipt with dull, lackluster hair. Malnutrition from improper diets can even lead to hair loss!

To put it simply, hair is a thread made of keratin. Keratin is a horn-like substance made up of protein. A protein-rich diet is therefore important for the healthy structure of the hair.

You probably know biotin by name. Biotin (vitamin H) plays an important role in protein metabolism. It makes build the hair that they get a better texture and shine.

Good biotin suppliers are: Grain products (whole grain products, brown rice, oat flakes), eggs, milk, soy, peanuts, mushrooms.

Other important nutrients for healthy hair are:

• B vitamins
• Vitamin A

• iron
• Copper and
• Zinc.

A healthy, balanced diet with three mixed meals a day provides an ideal basis for healthy, strong and shiny hair.

Acid rinse

A hair conditioner from the store is always slightly acidic because it closes the flakes of your hair and makes each individual hair shine.

You can easily achieve this effect with food: acid causes the fine flakes of hair to pull together again and lay flat.

The hair regains its original shine, feels less stubborn, is softer and is much easier to style and shape!

Simply mix equal parts apple cider vinegar with water and use this mixture as a hair conditioner after shampooing. Also ideal after you have applied a hair conditioner. Do not rinse!

Avoid using silicones

Silicones are very popular in hair care products that are supposed to ensure shiny hair. They hide behind the following names: Cetearyl methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone and Stearoxy Dimethicone.

Silicones are by-products of the petroleum industry and have the only advantage in hair care that they make the hair feel softer and silky in the short term.

However, this is not a real hair care product, as the silicones only cover the individual hair like a layer and do not supply it with nutrients.

Due to this layer around the hair, real nutrients can no longer reach the hair and it becomes brittle and dry, and split ends can occur.

With regular use, silicones also weigh down the hair because they accumulate layer by layer on the hair. You don’t notice it, however, because the hair feels well-groomed thanks to the silicone layer!

Avoid mineral oils

Mineral oil-based oils are criticized for being carcinogenic due to certain ingredients. Some mineral oil-based hair care products contain paraffins.

These do not penetrate the skin or hair, but remain on the surface as a “lubricating film”. A care effect is not achieved by oils containing paraffin.

The only advantage of mineral oil-based hair products is their extremely affordable price. But even a low price without a care effect is an unnecessary expense. Mineral oils in the declaration of the ingredients are called: Cera Microcristallina, Ceresin, Mineralöl, Mineral Oil, Microcrystalline Wax, Ozokerite, Paraffine, Paraffinum Liquidum, Paraffinum Subliquidum, Petrolatum and Vaseline.

Use herbal hair care products

If you really want to take care of your hair, you must not use the synthetic “care” substances mentioned above. A look at the package should therefore become a matter of course before you buy the shampoo, conditioner or hair treatment. Such substances are generally prohibited in natural cosmetics.

If you start to switch from synthetic care products to herbal active ingredients, it makes sense to get a “hair peeling” from the hairdresser, which removes the accumulated silicones from your hair and makes it receptive for real hair care.

Then you can get started with herbal care for shiny hair.

Hair care from the kitchen

A simple home remedy is to use oil on your hair. To do this, you heat a portion of cooking oil appropriate to your hair length and apply it to your hair. The longer it works under cling film or a shower cap (overnight), the better!

Then rinse with a mild (!) Shampoo and make it shine with a homemade vinegar or lemon water rinse.

It couldn’t be easier or more natural! You can leave expensive styling products on the store shelf, your kitchen cabinet has everything ready!
