Natural hair care is what you need to turn to if your hair has been excessively dyes, bleached, or damaged in any way. Before you start making some of these natural hair care products, consider these hair care tips: Make sure you are using the right shampoo. Always get a shampoo that is suited for your hair type. A shampoo for dry hair might smell better, but it doesn't mean that it will fit your hair's needs.  Change the shampoo often. Hair gets immune to a certain shampoo if the shampoo has been used for too long. Try a new one, see if you notice any changes. Apply the hair packs and balms once or twice a week. The more nourishment you provide, the more heathy the hair will be. Avoid using a hair dryer. It makes the hair brittle and dries the scalp out which may lead to dendruff. Trim your hair regularly. Remove the damaged ends.
