Natural hair product: lemon juice

Because I wanted to use more natural beauty and hair products, I learned about the power of lemon juice. 

Lemon juice, which can be bought almost anywhere, is a good pre-conditioner. I massage the lemon juice into my scalp before washing my hair. I leave it in my hair with a shower cap for at least half an hour before shampooing. 

Lemon juice helps remove the dandruff and dirt from your scalp, so when you shampoo, you remove the last of the grime and add volume with the extra cleansing. 


Since it is acidic, lemon juice does sting a little, but it's a good sting when you know the dirt is being  uplifted from your scalp. Pure lemon juice is a better choice, but you can also mix it with a little water if the acidity bothers your scalp.
