Get Rid of Limp Hair the Natural Way

More often than not, limp hair is inherited. In addition, several factors like excessive smoking, chemical treatments, and exposure to heat on a regular basis contribute to unhealthy and limp hair.

On the upside however, there are several natural remedies to thicken and introduce bounce and volume to your hair. You don’t have to continue to live with limp and lifeless locks much longer. Here are some easy and simple ways to get a body and morale boosting look you will adore.

Basic maintenance and care

Make sure you get regular hair trims and cuts to maintain a natural, bouncy look. Shampoo and wash your hair with gentle natural products. The fewer chemicals involved the better, for both you and your hair.

Avoid combing your hair too much; limit brush strokes to as many required to detangle your locks. Using a large toothed comb will make a difference and comb the knots out as gently as possible.

Pamper yourself

Frequent oil massages are the best thing you can do to nourish your hair. Quality moisturisers and lost nutrient restorers, natural oils bring new life to hair with added volume and bounce, not to mention the healthy factor involved.

Mix about two tablespoons of castor oil with around one tablespoon of almond or coconut oil. Heat the mixture up a bit to increase nutritive value. Castor oil works brilliantly to bring bounce and volume to limp hair.

Home made hair packs

Try one or all of these hair packs to bring back the snap and bounce in your hair.
