In fact, they tend to be generally more expensive than chemical-based formulations.

Those who want to stick to natural hair care products but don’t want to spend so much money have a reason to rejoice. Here are some very effective natural ingredients that do wonders to your hair and scalp without costing you a lot of money. Most of these ingredients are routinely available in your home or your garden. Read on to explore the goodness of these ingredients.

Aloe Vera pulp and gel
Most of us have an aloe vera planted in our homes. If not, the plant is easily available in the market and can be grown at home without much maintenance. The health benefits of this wonder-plant are widely known. In addition to its several benefits for the body, aloe vera is an excellent tonic for hair. Its pulp has the power to reduce hair fall, fight dandruff, make your hair shiny, and get rid of dryness. So instead of buying Aloe Vera gel from the supermarket, you can simply cut a blade of the plant from your garden, peel it, and use the pulp.

Used tea bags
This one is especially for tea-lovers. Have you realized how much more tea can be infused out of a normally-used tea bag? Tea is full of antioxidants that improve hair quality and nourish the scalp. To make your own potent antioxidant tonic, just boil used tea bags in water and use it for rinsing your hair.

Apple cider vinegar
This magical liquid has numerous health benefits, including for your hair and scalp. The enzymes in ACV give your scalp a thorough cleaning and help in keeping itchiness, irritation, and dandruff at bay. Because it is very rich in nutrients, ACV does immense good to your hair by making them softer and shinier. In addition, it reduces hair fall and makes your hair stronger and more resistant to damage by sunlight, dust, and dirt.

Mayonnaise
We all love mayonnaise in our sandwiches. However, very few of us realize that the ingredients of mayonnaise are beneficial for maintaining hair quality. Mayonnaise essentially contains eggs, oils, and vinegar. These three ingredients are great for conditioning hair and are also part of many commercial hair care products. A jar of mayonnaise is considerably cheaper than a bottle of hair conditioner. How about using mayonnaise as a conditioner? You might have to wash your hair with a shampoo afterward to get rid of the odor.

So, you see that the goodness of natural ingredients can be reaped from the simple and commonly-found ingredients in your home. With these natural hair care ideas, you won’t have to spend a lot of money to get that shiny, silky hair that you always dreamt of.
