For most of us, our hair is our pride and glory. While a lot of us spend so much time and money going to the salon and looking out for the next revolutionary hair treatment that promises to turn it all around, few realize that all we need for strong, healthy hair is sitting right here on our kitchen counters! Here are our top five hair-care ingredients, which just happen to be inexpensive and easily accessible. And by that, we mean that all you need to do is stroll down to your kitchen and rustle through your shelves:

1. Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is one of the best at-home remedies for damaged, dry hair. It is made out of eggs, vinegar, and oil. These ingredients help add and lock in moisture and restoring damaged hair. It's also super easy to use- just coat your hair with it for twenty minutes, and rinse off with shampoo- and voila!
