  If you have dry, brittle hair that breaks, you don't need to seek out the most expensive salon products--treat both hair breakage and split ends with a few staples you have right in your kitchen. These remedies for hair are best done in the shower to contain any mess involved, and a shower cap will serve well to cover your hair while allowing the remedies to penetrate the hair before rinsing.
  
  

Olive Oil

• Yes, olive oil can condition your hair.olive oil image by Peter Baxter from Fotolia.com
  
  When heated, olive oil is an excellent deep conditioner for the hair. Warm about a half-cup of oil in the microwave until warm. Test the oil to make sure it isn't too hot, then massage it into the scalp and work through to the ends of the hair. Wrap your head with a warm towel or wear a shower cap for at least half an hour---the longer, the better. Finish by rinsing and shampooing as usual.
  
  

Egg Yolk

• Omelette or hair treatment: you decide.eggs image by Maria Brzostowska from Fotolia.com
  
  Used once a week, egg yolk will work as an effective treatment for hair breakage. Whisk one egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Take the mixture into the shower and apply to wet hair---do not work the mixture into the scalp, but concentrate on the ends of the hair. Leave the egg treatment in the hair for a few minutes, then rinse and shampoo as usual.
  
  

Beer

  In the shower, slowly pour a can or bottle of beer over the hair--work it through to the ends, making sure the hair is fully soaked before rinsing out. Since you won't be shampooing afterward, it is especially important to rinse well, or your hair will be left smelling like a college keg party.
  
  

Mayonnaise

• Mayonnaise is an effective, albeit messy, hair treatment.mayonaise image by Lucky Dragon from Fotolia.com
  
  Mayonnaise is one of the messier home remedies for hair, but it works to condition and strengthen the hair when used regularly. Once a week, work enough mayonnaise through the hair to saturate it. Cover with a shower cap and allow it to penetrate the hair for as long as you like. Rinse and shampoo as usual.
