5 Weird Hair Tricks That Actually Work

In 2014, the U.S. spent over $46 billion on hair care alone. That’s a lot of money just to live your Fabio dreams.

But you don’t have to spend your life savings to have great hair. And if you’re willing to get a little weird, there are some strange hair hacks out there that really work.

Here are 5 weird hair tricks that will save you money while making your hair look wind-blown-fabulous.

1. Lemon

DIY highlights that don’t cost an arm and a leg? That’s what lemons are for.

That’s right. By simply squeezing some lemon juice into a bowl and dipping a toothbrush into it, you can highlight your own hair. Just comb the lemon juice through your hair with the toothbrush then let it marinate in the sun for about an hour.

This will naturally lighten your hair and you’ll get a nice tan while you’re at it.

2. Baking Soda

Call it the unicorn of natural hair care.

Baking soda has so many uses when it comes to your hair. You can combine it with water and use it as a cleaner for your hair if you’ve got a lot of build up on your scalp and tresses.

This will not only clean your hair really well, it can completely transform it, giving it a great shine and even helping with hair loss.

3. Cotton Shirt

Got a ton of frizz that you can’t seem to tame? This cool trick will blow your mind.

Instead of drying your hair with the usual towel like everyone else, try a cotton t-shirt.

Because cotton soaks up the water without creating friction on your hair, your hair cuticles don’t get frizzy on you. So it keeps your hair healthy and gets rid of that stubborn frizz.

Seal the deal with a cold blow dry and you’ll be looking at some silky smooth strands, thanks to this weird DIY.

4. Wash Less

There is actually such a thing as washing your hair too much.

It can end up stripping your hair of some of the oils it needs to stay healthy and even be a contributing factor for hair loss.

Try to cut down your hair washes to just a few times a week. And if you’re worried about it getting greasy, say hello to our best friend: dry shampoo.

5. Feed It

Your hair needs nutrients just like your body. And, yes, a lot of those are in foods.

But if taking the time to make all of those weird and time-consuming hair masks isn’t an option, try this hair lotion.

It contains both almonds and avocados so your hair can get the nutrients it needs. And it costs a lot less than some of those salon brands that have all kinds of chemicals in them.
