These hair 'cosmetics' are a HIT, and you won't pay anything for them. Check it out!

• avocado
• 3 teaspoons of honey
.

Preparation:

Blend a peeled avocado with three teaspoons of sweet relish. And there you have it.

Application:

Apply to the length of your hair. Hold for 15-30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and wash your hair with shampoo. If you are worried that you won't wash your hair because the honey is sticky, use warm (but not hot!) water to rinse and wash. The honey will dissolve better in it.

And if you are concerned about hair growth...

Ingredients:

• 50 grams of honey
.
• 125 millilitres of milk
.

Preparation:

Stir the honey into the milk.

Application:

Massage this rinse-conditioner into both your hair and scalp. After 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

For severely damaged hair, add olive oil.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp honey
.
• 1 tbsp olive oil
.

Preparation:

Mix the honey with the olive oil. The easiest way to combine these ingredients is to pour them into a jar, cap it tightly and shake it firmly. Well, unless you have a shaker - in which case use a shaker.

Application:

Keep on your hair for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then apply any conditioner to emulsify the oil and wait another 15 minutes. Then wash your head thoroughly with shampoo.

Flaxseed

Flaxseed is the seed of the flax plant. The inconspicuous little seeds are a veritable vitamin bomb and boast a wealth of mineral ingredients. On top of this, they contain natural proteins and omega-3 acids.

Flaxseed has moisturising properties - for the scalp as well as the hair. On top of this, it promotes the growth of the locks and helps regulate sebum secretion by the sebaceous glands in the skin. In order to benefit from the precious properties of flax seeds, they need to be prepared into a suspension (so-called flaxseed gluten or flaxseed gel).

The quickest way to prepare it is by boiling it. Put 2 tablespoons of linseed into a saucepan, pour in a cup of water and simmer for about 10 minutes. The suspension should have the consistency of a thin jelly. Cool down and strain the glut through a sieve to get rid of the seeds.

You can apply the resulting substance to your hair or... drink it. But beware - regular drinking of flaxseed gel can end in a real rash of baby hair! You need to be ready for that.

Treating flaxseed gluten cosmetically, simply apply it to your scalp and hair. Leave on for an hour (you can still wear a shower cap) and rinse thoroughly. Some hair loves flaxseed so much that this 'conditioner' can be left unrinsed. Will this work for you? Try it, just maybe not before an important outing...

If you'd like to take advantage of the protective properties of linseed (linseed gel can also create a protective coating on your hair), but are afraid that the clay prepared according to the recipe above will weigh your hair down too much, try changing the proportions.

To start with, add twice as much water or half as much of the hay. The concoction will then come out thinner and you can use it as a rinse for your hair.

Fruits

Among the fruit-based hair masks, those with banana and lemon lead the way.

Banana is the most popular.

Banana is a great source of plant proteins, which have a gentler effect than those of animal origin. If you're looking to improve volume, but after classic proteins your hair resembles a stiff broom, try banana.

Additionally, thanks to its high sugar content, banana will also moisturise well. This is why overripe fruit with a brown skin works best in homemade conditioners. If a banana is languishing in the fruit bowl and you've been thinking about throwing it away, you can give it a second life. Zero waste!

The easiest banana mask you can create is blending half a banana with a tablespoon of honey. 

Ingredients:

• ½ ripe banana
.
• a cube spoonful of honey
.

Preparation:

Blend the ingredients. Try to make the slurry as smooth as possible - banana lumps are very hard to rinse out of your hair.

Please make sure the slurry is as smooth as possible.

If you want to experiment further, you can supplement the above recipe with the addition of one or two teaspoons of olive oil or yoghurt.

Lemon is associated with vitamin C. And rightly so, as it is an excellent source of it. Vitamin C, in turn, is known in cosmetics for its brightening properties. And it just so happens that lemon applied to the hair also exhibits these.

I'll rectify right away: no, you will not lighten dark hair with lemon. Forget it. However, if you're a natural blonde and like the effect of lighter highlights (as from the sun), lemon-infused masks and mists may be worth a try.

The simplest way to lighten your hair is to use lemon.

The easiest lemon conditioner you can make is to mix the juice squeezed from the lemon with honey, which also has mildly brightening properties.

Ingredients:

• juice of 1 lemon
.
• 1 teaspoon of honey
.

Preparation:

Mix the ingredients.

Application:

Apply to hair and hold for about half an hour. Rinse off generously with water. If you feel like the honey hasn't washed out completely, you can wash your hair with a gentle shampoo.

Remove to a shampoo.

Vegetables

Vegetables are a source of health in our diet. However, the scalp and hair can also benefit from them. Avocado and pumpkin, in particular, will work well in home care.

Avocado will be liked by owners of very damaged hair. It works well for fairly thick strands. You can use it as a base for a simple, nourishing mask to rescue you after a hair disaster.

Ingredients:

• avocado
• 1-2 tablespoons of oil or olive oil
.

Preparation:

Blend the peeled avocado with your favourite oil or olive oil. 

Application:

Spread the pap over the length of your hair, put on a shower cap and wait for about half an hour. Due to the oil content and the fact that avocado is also quite oily, I recommend emulsifying the mask with conditioner before washing.

Rinse with water.

Rinse off most of the mask with water, apply conditioner and wait about 20 minutes. Only then wash your head with shampoo (preferably twice).

Avocado soothes.

Avocados are associated with exotic countries and therefore with holidays In the autumn season, on the other hand, it is worth taking advantage of the rash pudding. The flesh of this crackly vegetable is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, squalane and carotenoids. Have you also just acquired the urge to apply it to your face?

Another time, now let's get back to the hair. Your strands will be happy to benefit from these nutrients. In addition, zinc has a sebum-regulating effect, so a pumpkin mask could prove to be a hit for those struggling with oily hair.

Simple as it may sound, it's a good idea to use a pumpkin mask on your hair.

The simplest recipe for a pumpkin conditioner is pumpkin plus coconut oil. 

Ingredients:

• 50-100 grams of pumpkin
.
• 1-2 tbsp coconut oil
.

Preparation:

Pick and slice a small piece of any variety of this vegetable. Place in a pot, add some water and simmer until tender (about half an hour). If there is a lot of water left over after stewing, drain the flesh and blitz after cooling together with one or two tablespoons of oil. 

Another option is cooked pumpkin pulp, blended together with a tablespoon of natural yoghurt and a tablespoon of honey.

Application:

Apply the pumpkin mask to your head. Put on a cap and possibly a towel turban. Keep for about half an hour. If you have used coconut oil as an additive, after rinsing off the mask, apply conditioner to your head to emulsify it. Hold for about 20 minutes and only wash your hair with shampoo.

If you have chosen the honey and natural yoghurt variant, simply rinse the nourishing slurry off with water alone.

Ocet

Ocet closes the hair's cuticles and thus provides incredible shine. On top of this, it helps to cleanse the scalp and strands, removing sebum and bacteria. The easiest way to use vinegar is as a rinse.

Ingredients:

• 1 litre of boiled water
.
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
.

Preparation:

Add vinegar to cooled water and stir.

Application:

Apply the rinse as the last step of your head wash - after rinsing off the conditioner. Do not rinse.

Do not rinse.

If you want maximum volume and your hair is not dry, you can also try a vinegar conditioner.

Ingredients:

• 500 millilitres of boiled water (still slightly warm)
.
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
.
• 1 tsp honey
.

Preparation:

Mix the honey and vinegar in the water.

Prepare.

Application:
