Simple Hacks to Save on Hair Care

For guys, having a full lineup of hair care products like shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in creams sounds ideal. But, let’s be honest: most of us aren’t exactly diligent with restocking these. We often wait until that last squeeze, then scramble for a quick fix.

Here’s the good news - you may already have a few natural hair care solutions sitting in your kitchen. Below are five practical ways to level up your hair care without spending a dime on fancy products.

Honey

If your hair’s feeling as dry as the Sahara, honey could be your saving grace. This natural moisturizer helps lock in hydration and keeps your hair clean without stripping it. No, you’re not drizzling a jar over your head. 😀

Mix about 1/4 cup of honey with warm water until you get a shampoo-like consistency. Adjust as needed; too thick, add more water - too thin, add less. Apply a thin, even layer on your hair and let it sit for 10-20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

Pure honey not only hydrates but also adds nutrients to help repair damaged hair. Just make sure you’re using pure honey, not the sugary stuff.

Beer

This one’s a crowd-pleaser. Beer is packed with proteins that can revive flat, limp hair by adding a natural volume boost, perfect for styling. Mix a few tablespoons of beer with warm water, work it through your hair, and rinse after a couple of minutes.

Pro tip: Drink the rest of the beer while you’re at it! 🍻

Olive Oil and Lemon

If dandruff’s been bugging you, olive oil and lemon might be your answer. The acidic property of lemon clears away dead skin cells, while olive oil locks in moisture to keep dandruff from making a comeback.

Combine equal parts lemon juice, olive oil, and warm water. Rinse your hair first, then apply the mix evenly on your scalp. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then rinse it out with water.

Plain Yogurt

Want Bond-worthy shine? Plain yogurt does the trick. Massage half a cup of unsweetened yogurt into your hair, let it sit for around 20 minutes, then wash it out with your usual shampoo. The fats in yogurt add moisture, while lactic acid lifts out buildup, giving you that Pierce Brosnan-level sleekness.

Apple Cider Vinegar

If tangles are your nemesis, apple cider vinegar might be the fix. Its acidity balances your scalp’s pH, making hair softer and easier to manage.

After shampooing, rinse with a mixture of equal parts apple cider vinegar and warm water. If you’ve got a spray bottle, even better - spray it directly on damp hair for smoother results.

Guys rocking undercuts, slick-backs, or pompadours, give this a go!
