Dull, brittle, lifeless and limp hair denotes damaged and rough hair. Shiny, lustrous hair is a sign of good health. But in the present days, where much preference is given to hair styling, coloring, etc., proper hair care isn’t taken to ensure its good health. These lead to adverse hair damage which screams for immediate attention.

There are numerous products that are available in the market which help to repair damaged hair. Hair damage is observed when it is exposed to continuous heat-styling, chemical processing, etc. The environmental factors too play an important role in damaging the hair. Few hair products that help to restore the quality and texture contain cholesterol.

Cholesterol treatment for hair helps in repairing and restoring moisture in damaged and dehydrated hair. This treatment has been used by American and African communities for decades to restore softness and moisture after repeated styling processes. There are many types of cholesterol hair treatments available today. Some are described briefly below:

2. Homemade Cholesterol Hair Treatment:

One of the oldest forms of cholesterol is mayonnaise. Back in the 1950s, when the heat-styling tools were first made public, hair was conditioned with mayonnaise bought from stores or homemade ones using oils and eggs which were a rage. The results of this hair treatment were good as it left the hair soft, shiny and made the curls and waves voluminous. But, it did leave the hair smelling like an egg salad! Thanks to the modern technology, the modern mayonnaise that is used for cholesterol hair treatment provides softness, sheen and luster to hair with a pleasant fragrance.
