Hair masks are a great way to nourish your hair and keep it looking healthy and shiny. While there are plenty of high-end hair masks available on the market, you don’t have to spend a fortune to get the benefits of a great hair mask. In fact, you can make your own hair masks at home using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. 🧴
We’ll share five DIY hair mask recipes that you can make at home. 🏠
Each recipe is designed to address a different hair concern, from dryness to frizz to lack shine. Here are the five recipes we’ll cover:
Avocado and Honey Hair Mask 🥑
This mask is great for nourishing dry, damaged hair. Avocado is rich in healthy fats that can help moisturize your hair, while honey is a natural humectant that can help lock in moisture.
Preparation:
– Slice the avocado in half, pit, then scoop out the inside flesh into a large mixing bowl.
– Add 2 tablespoons of olive or coconut oil (I prefer coconut oil).
– Add 2 tablespoons of organic raw honey. Mix together until smooth.
– Apply to hair. Put on a shower cap.
– Wait 60 minutes and then wash your hair normally.
Coconut Oil and Egg Hair Mask 🥥
This mask is perfect for taming frizzy hair. Coconut oil is a great natural conditioner, and eggs are packed with protein that can help strengthen your hair.
Preparation:
– In a bowl, combine coconut oil and whisked egg. Mix until they blend well.
– Next, evenly apply coconut oil and egg mixture to your damp hair.
– Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.
– Then, rinse your hair with lukewarm water.
Banana and Olive Oil Hair Mask 🍌
It’s ideal for adding shine to dull, lackluster hair. Bananas are rich in vitamins and minerals that can help nourish your hair, while olive oil is a great natural conditioner.
Preparation:
– Mash one ripe banana using a fork and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
