We all know olive oil is a healthy fat that is essential to our health, but it's not just for salads and warm bread. You can use it to nourish your dry and fuzzy hair. I've tried leave-in conditioners and deep conditioning treatments, but they don't seem to work.

Hot oil treatments are a fast and easy way to help restore elasticity, shine and moisture in dry, over-processed hair. They should instantly make your hair look and feel healthier, and they can be done anywhere from once to twice a week depending on the condition of your hair. I found this at-home hot oil treatment recipe from the Long Locks Hair Care Cookbook and have been eager to test it out.

If clarifying shampoos aren't getting rid of the greasy, grimy residue that gets left behind in your already oily hair, you'll love this at-home purifying hair treatment. Made with aspirin to help stimulate your hair follicles and apple cider vinegar to get rid of build-up and control dandruff, it'll help your hair feel bouncier, lighter, and clean as a whistle. Here's what to do:
- STEP 1: Wash your hair as usual
- STEP 2: Crush two aspirin and pour them into an eight-ounce cup filled with apple cider vinegar (use more vinegar for thick hair and less for fine hair).

"It doesn't smell" is hardly a ringing endorsement for a product, but I guess you gotta emphasize one of the few positives of hair care made with bull semen. And that's just what Hari's, a fancy London beauty salon says about its Aberdeen Organic Hair treatment made of protein-rich bull semen and plant extracts. In addition to not smelling, it can give your hair the ultimate shine.

Since I have dark hair, lemon juice doesn't do a thing to add natural highlights to my hair. I've even experimented with cranberry juice, but I never really noticed much of a difference. Many years ago a friend turned me on to using henna.

About a year ago, I noticed larger than normal amounts of hair in my shower drain, so I decided to make an appointment at the Phillip Kingsley Clinic for a hair and scalp analysis. After taking a blood test and meeting with a consultant, it turns out that an iron deficiency was the cause of my hair loss. Seven months, many vitamins and a few treatments and products later, my hair is finally growing back.

Sometimes I feel as though my hair is so parched that all the conditioner in my shower (and trust me, that's a lot) isn't going to do the trick. Unfortunately, most leave-in conditioners just weigh my hair down into an icky matted mess. So when I came across this Phytonectar Pre-Shampoo Oil Treatment ($30) I was excited.

A few weeks ago I was introduced to Ojon, a haircare company that specializes in nourishing hair treatments derived from the Ojon palm tree located in the forests of Central America. The tree produces a special oil that is harvested and extracted from its nuts, and when used on your hair, it helps to dramatically improve the condition and texture.
Their star product is the Restorative Hair Treatment (£38) packaged in a tub as a solid substance, however, once it comes in contact with your skin, it liquefies.
