Stinging Nettle is known for making you itch, but it’s also a great beauty herb. In many countries, it’s known as a hair tonic and strong anti-flaking remedy. Here’s a home-style recipe: Boil 5 Nettle leaves in two cups of water and let cool. Later, massage the tea infusion into your scalp. Rinse after 15 minutes. Repeat as much as twice per week.

Avocado is fantastic for restoring dry and broken hair. Take 1/2 an avocado, two tablespoons of plain natural yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of liquid vitamin A, and one teaspoon of honey. Mix all ingredients and apply to your damp hair and leave-in for 30 minutes. Later, wash and condition your hair normally. You can do this once per week to restore damaged hair.

If you regularly use a fixing gel in your hair, you can substitute a natural gel instead and protect your hair from excess drying. Just take a cup of raw flaxseeds and boil them in about 3 cups of water for ten minutes. Let cool and remove the seeds. What’s left is a natural gel for your hair.

For brunettes who want to fortify their hair color, the latest buzz is a chocolate-based hair moisturizing treatment. Besides accenting the color, the chocolate protects the strands of hair from the sun’s rays and from cold. It’s full of vitamins that help restore healthy hair and eliminate split ends while adding shine and softness. You can mix a tablespoon of pure cocoa (without sugar) into your moisturizing cream and apply it to your hair.
