Hair Breakage and Lack of Luster?

If you are having problems with hair breakage or if your hair has lost its shine and luster, brew an extra strong pot of coffee. When you are showering or bathing, after you rinse out the shampoo and conditioner, pour the (cooled) brew over your hair. Finish washing, shaving, or whatever your routine is and then rinse the coffee out with warm water.

This treatment is for dark hair. The coffee will stain the hair, help cover any gray, and leave your hair silky. It will also slow the breakage. If breakage is a serious problem, use this solution once a week for about a month and you will see a significant difference.
