What Lemon Can Do For Your Hair

So many things can easily damage your hair. Heat, sun, chlorine, color treatments, and much more have been known to hurt the condition of your hair. Aging can dull and thin hair as our bodies lose natural resources that keep the hair young and vibrant. Medication can cause hair to lose life and medical conditions can cause hair loss.

There are so many things that challenge our locks to stay thick and shiny, but with the help of lemons, hair can get a boost naturally.

When Life Gives You Lemons

Lemons are a perfect source for Vitamin C, which can boost the immune system as well as your appearance.

Having lemons on hand can be useful for many lifestyle tips, like treating migraines, lightening freckles, and much more, but this time, we are focusing on your hair.

Make It Shine

Using lemons to bring back shine to your dull strands is easy.

Mix a half cup of lemon juice with a tablespoon of olive oil. Blend well.

Apply the mixture onto your hair in sections, so it covers evenly. Comb through and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

Alternatively: If kept refrigerated, this mixture is safe to consume only a few (1-2) drops each morning to internally help build shine. Remember to shake the mixture well before using. However, if you suffer from stomach issues or GERD, it’s better to use the mixture externally.

Kick the Flakes

Dandruff is a major hassle for those who suffer from a dry scalp. Lemon juice can eliminate dandruff and keep your scalp clean and flake-free.

Use lemon juice along with aloe for the best antifungal treatment to prevent dandruff. Take a half of lemon and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Mix with a tablespoon of aloe gel and blend well. Apply with a clean color brush applicator or carefully apply onto your scalp. Let sit for 20 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

Stop Hair loss With Lemons

Using half a lemon along with a 1/2 cup of coconut water can be a calming solution to put on hair to prevent hair loss. It also has strengthening properties that can help prevent breakage. Apply the solution over the scalp and hair. Let sit for 30 minutes and wash out with shampoo. Condition hair as normal.

Lemons are usually healthy to ingest and use externally. Be sure to use with caution since lemons are naturally acidic. Doing a treatment and going out in the sun can naturally lighten your hair. Don’t use any treatment more than twice a week since overusing the acidic fruit can cause damage. If you are allergic to lemons, do not try any of these mixtures. If you have any burning or irritation, wash out of hair immediately and discard mixture.
