Food isn’t just for nourishing the insides of our bodies. Did you know that common food items can be used to nourish the outsides of our bodies too? Whether you just want to try and save some money by not buying those expenisive beauty products, or you are trying to get back to the basics of au natural, these items might be for you.

By mixing a little bit of olive oil to a mashed banana and making a paste to put throughout your hair, you can restore some life to your dull hair. Do this before it’s shampooed and comb the mixture through your hair with a wide toothed comb. Let it sit for 20 minutes to an hour, whether you cover it or not is up to you. Then shampoo, rinse and style. You should notice a new shine and bounce to your hair.

I am sure that you never thought you would find a use for ketchup other than for dipping your delicious french fries in, but I am here to offer you an idea for another use. Ketchup is said to neutralize the green that comes out in blond hair from swimming. Simply apply ketchup on your freshly shampooed hair and comb it through with a wide toothed comb. After 20-45 minutes, rinse and style as your normally would. If it doesn’t work the first time, you might try it again the next time you shampoo.

Last but not least… everyone knows how hard it is to keep hair dye from getting on your neck or just outside of your hairline when coloring at home. If you take just a little bit of toothpaste and rub into that area, the abrasives that are in toothpaste will work the dye up and you should be able to just rinse away your little mistake.While I have not personally tried these methods, I have read about them and found them to be a quite interesting way to be less dependant of the products that cost so much. I also would like to point out that you don’t have to worry about animal testing when using natural products. Why not give it a try? Natual products for a naturally beautiful you!
