To make your hair shinier in just one day, look no further than your kitchen. Just mix 4 parts of honey and 2 parts of freshly squeezed lemon juice and apply it to your hair right after washing it. DO NOT RINSE. Simply squeeze extra liquid from your hair and detangle your hair with mixture in it. Towel dry your hair and brush it with a round natural bristle brush. This simple hair remedy is good for both light and dark colored hair.
Dark hair will also benefit from the use of vinegar. After shampooing as you normally do, rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water and finish with a mixture of 1 gallon of water + 5 tablespoons of white vinegar. DO NOT RINSE. Instead, leave this in your hair, and let it dry naturally without the use of a blow dryer. Your hair will be bouncy and shiny.
To get a shine to dull hair, one can also use honey and lemon juice in your last rinse after shampooing hair, and do not wash it out. Instead, dry your hair well and brush vigorously. The sheen that is seen is all natural glow of one of the most wonderful natural foods, honey. Lemon is also a natural conditioner and imparts a natural shine to hair, whatever type it may be. It I extensively used as an additive to conditioners and always used as a part of herbal remedies for dull hair. It also acts as an antiseptic and astringent, cleaning up the scalp of dandruff debris and leaving it clean and free of infections. A rinse made with tea and lemon juice also serves to clean up the greasiness of oily hair without interfering in its ph balance or drying it up excessively (which is what most shampoos do).
