Anyone ever made a home hair remedy and did it work?

[sweetheart]

I've got a tonne of pins on pintrest for homemade remedies to thicken hair to help it grow - before I spend a month going to bed with honey / egg etc on my hair has anyone tried them and did it work?

I'd just like my hair to be better / longer / thicker in general.

Bump.. because I'd like to know too!

I’ve tried egg yolks, which made my hair dry and frizzy, though apparently they suit some hair types more than others.

Olive oil as a conditioning treatment was more successful – made my thick, dry hair look glossier and feel less brittle. It didn’t magically make my hair thicker but did seem to help stop it snapping off so much. When I had long hair I used it every couple of weeks, or whenever I could be bothered.

I applied it to dry hair, smoothing it through the lengths then massaging my scalp once most had wiped off my hands, leaving for 10 mins then washing out. A few drops of essential oil make it smell less foody. Leaving it on overnight didn’t give a better effect and made my pillow greasy.

Honey makes a nice facemask - it’s mildly antiseptic, but also moisturising, and so it can help with dry patches and spots. I’ve never put it in my hair though!
