Dull Hair - Air pollution and some styling products can sap moisture and makes the hair dull. According to Lisa Belkin the author of "Cosmetics Cookbooks" dairy products like sour cream and  plain yogurt can be can help reverse this damage caused by this air pollution because of the Lactic acid  which gently takes away dirt while the milk fat moisturizes.

 Fine hair - According to Cox to add weight to fine hair, use beer! Beer drink contains a lot of yeast, which works to plump tired tresses. When the liquid from the beer evaporates, the remaining protein residue from the wheat, malt or hops continues to strengthen and structure the hair says Belkin.

How to use: Pour half cup of beer into a container and allow it to settle for some hours to deplete carbonation with 1 teaspoon canola oil and a raw egg. Apply to clean, damp hair, and allow for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water. This can be done once every other week.
