Thick and shiny remedies The basic composition of hair in both animals and humans is a protein, with an unusually high sulphur content, called keratin. An individual's dietary intake determines the growth of keratin, while the colour is determined by melanin levels. The hair is constructed of polypeptide chains and helix coils, which are basically amino acids in a chain-like formation. microfibrils are formed by twisted helical coils, which similarly form macrofibrils. These macrofibrils twist together forming cortical fibrils that are embedded in a high sulphur protein.
Make a natural hair masque using two egg yolks, a teaspoon of honey, and a two teaspoons of fresh coconut milk. Apply this mixture to your hair and keep it on for at least an hour. This natural conditioner will help to strengthen and nourish your hair. You can also use a mixture of beet root juice and lemon juice to add lusture to your hair. Although it may take a couple of weeks to for visible results, unlike most cosmetic products that try to mask dull or dry hair superficially, natural conditioners work from the inside out by actually repairing damaged hair. Try and steam your hair at least once a month to ensure that your hair oil penetrates the hair follicles.
