Home remedies for beautiful hair

 

If you're lucky enough to live near the coast and your seawater is clean and clear, head to the beach, get a bucketful of the clearest seawater you can, put your head in the water and massage your hair. Seawater can eliminate dandruff, plus the plankton and minerals it contains help balance the scalp and make it more active. However, if your hair is dry, dull and fragile, seawater is best avoided.
