Having hair that is free from dryness, less damaged, and voluminous is something that we all strive to have! To help out our hair, it’s common to go to the salon and spend hundreds of dollars on a routine that probably will not work and most likely uses chemicals and dyes that can actually be harmful.
With the right ingredients that you probably have hanging around in your kitchen, you can mix up your own homemade, all-natural hair mask right at home to make your own built-in spa! It’s also important to stay hydrated, eat healthy foods and to try and avoid washing your hair every day.
Over-washing your hair can cause a dry scalp, which can cause dandruff. Over-washing can also strip away the natural oils that nourish your hair. Using these DIY hair masks will condition your hair and help prevent breakage while being a healthier way to repair damaged hair of all types. Lather up your hair with these homemade recipes for a relaxing, spa-like experience.
1. Coconut Oil + Jojoba Oil + Peppermint Essential Oil
There are about a million uses in your beauty routine for coconut oil, and it makes sense when you hear the benefits. Coconut oil penetrates the hair to deeply moisturize, instead of just coating the top layer. Jojoba oil, sold at drugstores and beauty suppliers, is also a powerhouse for hydration. The peppermint essential oil is anti-inflammatory to soothe dandruff and itching. Bonus: While it’s on, this mask will smell amazing.
2. Pumpkin + Coconut Oil
This simple, two-ingredient moisturizing hair mask is the perfect use for the extra pumpkin puree you have after making pumpkin bread or adding it to your smoothie. You’ll simply blend vitamin-rich pumpkin and coconut oil, let it sit in your hair for 20 minutes under a shower cap, and rinse.
3. Avocado + Honey + Olive Oil
The fats and oils in avocado and olive oil that make them great for your body are also great for your hair. The ingredients repair dry, brittle hair and protect your hair from further damage—a great option if you’re addicted to your blow-dryer and hot tools. The enzymes in raw honey will give hair that shampoo commercial shine.
4. Sweet Potato + Honey + Yogurt
Use your leftover sweet potatoes to make this easy moisturizing hair mask. Sweet potatoes, honey, and yogurt all moisturize hair and prevent frizz, and yogurt also removes product buildup.
5. Egg + Mayonnaise
This homemade hair mask uses only two simple ingredients (eggs and mayo), and even though these ingredients sound a little strange, they are known to be a powerful combination for dry hair. The oil found in the mayonnaise will deeply moisturize hair and give it its shine back. The egg serves as a cleaning agent as well as sealing in moisture to your hair. The egg, specifically the yolk, can cut through grease and dirt found in hair to make it clean.
6. Yogurt + Honey
This deep conditioning DIY hair mask recipe comes together in no time with just two simple ingredients: yogurt, and honey. If your hair is feeling dry, frizzy and brittle this will be one of your go-to hair masks. The fat from the yogurt will help moisturize and cleanse your scalp-make sure to buy full-fat yogurt.
Honey, specifically raw honey is an excellent, nourishing ingredient for your hair. The honey will seal in the moisture in your hair to keep it conditioned, which will reduce hair breakage and split ends.
