Homemade hair treatments are great for the hair, and they are cost-effective too. If you're like many of us women, your hair is considerably stressed from bleaching and colouring, and is probably damaged due to heat treatments like blow dryers, flat irons and the like.

Why not think about giving your tired hair a break with an affordable hair treatment that you make yourself at home! Sounds perfect, right? Homemade hair care treatments can be made with simple ingredients straight from your refrigerator and pantry.

So, let's take a closer look at some of the brilliant homemade hair mask recipes to make your hair look more healthier and shinier.

Eggs + Olive Oil
Did you know that you could make a super conditioning pack with raw eggs and some olive oil? Just beat together 2-3 eggs with 5-6 tablespoons of olive oil and then apply the mixture on to dry hair. For its maximum effect, cover the hair with a plastic shower cap, or wrap in a plastic wrap. The body heat that is produced in the plastic cover will further help in opening up the pores in the hair shaft to allow the conditioner to reach deep into the hair follicles.

Rosemary + Apple Cider Vinegar + Water
This lovely mixture is a homemade hair care nurturer that produces shine and volume and is made from an infusion of fresh rosemary, apple cider vinegar and water. Add a few springs of rosemary to a cup of a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. Leave it in a sealed container for a few days, and you'll have a wonderful rinse to use after shampooing the tresses that'll leave the hair shiny and refreshed.

Chamomile Tea + Apple Cider Vinegar
You can even make a homemade hair treatment. All that you need are 3 chamomile tea bags and some apple cider vinegar. Brew some strong chamomile tea in boiling water, and allow it to steep for about 20-30 minutes and add 1/4th teaspoon of vinegar for a rinse, which will bring out the natural highlights in your hair.

Banana + Lemon + Honey
Finally, if you're having a tough time managing oily hair, a great homemade hair treatment to use is the conditioning hair mask containing ripe banana, lemon & honey. Apply this mixture on to dry hair, let sit on the hair for about fifteen minutes or so and then wash hair using a mild shampoo.

Essential Oils
There are also homemade hair treatments to help reduce loss of hair. Essential oils can be diluted in a carrier oil like avocado or jojoba oil and rubbed directly on to the scalp. This treatment works to increase the circulation in the scalp area. Essential oils have the ability to stimulate and maintain hair growth. Certain essential oils include basil, carrot, cypress, lavender, peppermint and tea tree oils that work wonders for the hair. Before using any essential oil, be sure to consult a reputable guide to make sure that it's appropriate to use these ingredients on the hair and skin.
