The poor condition of our hair can mirror the damaging effect of heat, extreme weather condition and the excessive use of chemical-based styling products. Use the following 6 home remedies for very damaged hair to inject healthy radiance and definition into your locks. Try your hand at chemical-free hair care treatments you can easily incorporate into your weekly or monthly beauty schedule.
1. Hibiscus Hair Treatment
If you have serious problems with your hair condition, it’s time to make the first step towards the revitalizing of your locks. Create a fine hair treatment to make the most of the vitamin-content of this natural ingredient. First grind the hibiscus flowers until you’ve obtained a jelly paste. Pour the lotion into a container and apply it on your damp locks each time you wash your hair. Leave the hair pack on for 10 minutes then rinse it off with tepid water. Keep on practicing this ritual for 2 weeks in a row for amazing results.
2. Saffron Hair Treatment
Use the following herbal treatment to have naturally shiny locks. Put a few saffron strands in boiling water for 5-6 minutes. Then put the water aside and leave it to cool down. Add the natural juice of a lime and 1 tbs of honey to the infusion.
Rinse your locks with this mixture then cover your head with a towel for 15 minutes. Finally wash off the saffron treatment with lukewarm water. Notice the soft and shiny texture of your tresses.
3. Olive Oil and Peppermint Oil Hair Treatment
Provide your locks with a deep-conditioning treatment. Grab a medium bowl and mix 1 tbs of olive oil, 1 egg and 4 drops of peppermint oil. Massage the mixture into your scalp and locks then cover your hair with a warm towel.
Leave the treatment on for at least 15 minutes. Finish up your beauty ritual by washing off the hair pack with tepid water and a tiny amount of shampoo. Repeat this beauty ritual more often for shiny and voluminous locks.
4. Ginger and Sesame Oil Hair Treatment
Use this herbal treatment for damaged hair at least for a week to restore the moisturized and glossy condition of your locks.

Leave the hair pack on for 20 minutes then rinse it off with lukewarm water and a few drops of shampoo.
5. Rosemary Oil and Olive Oil Hot Oil Treatment
Combine these two fabulous natural oils to load your follicles with vitamins and antioxidants. The first step to prepare the hot oil treatment is to warm the olive oil in a tiny pan.

Pour the mixture into a container if you want to use this treatment for a few days in a row. Apply this hot oil treatment on your locks and cover your head with a warm towel for 20 minutes. Then use a tiny amount of shampoo and lukewarm water to cleanse your tresses from the treatment.
