One of the most popular DIY hair masks on YouTube, this recipe uses almost every component of the MVP mask: avocado, which is rich in protein, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids; egg white, which is known to strengthen hair strands; and honey, which acts as a natural degreaser to prevent dandruff. Plus, coconut oil's high lauric acid content prevents breakage while promoting growth.
Mix all these ingredients and apply them to your hair, making sure to cover each strand evenly. Put on a shower cap, let the mask rest on your head for half an hour and then rinse it off to leave your hair hydrated, silky and shiny. In addition, the ingredients are immediately available in your pantry!
2. Honey and olive oil mask
Try this easy DIY mask for a natural way to nourish your hair. While honey helps hydrate and tame flyaways, olive oil's high vitamin A and E content helps fight frizz. You can also reduce breakage and split ends with this simple mask.
If your hair seems lifeless, this mask will bring back the shine. Your hair will be gently cleansed of product buildup and other residues by the lactic acid in the sour cream, while the milk fats hydrate and leave your strands bright and silky.
The cinnamon in this homemade mask stimulates your scalp, promotes hair growth and reduces dandruff. The effects of this easy-to-make, natural mask are worth the effort. Combine all the ingredients with a whisk and use on shampooed hair, paying special attention to the ends. After 20 minutes, let it sit and rinse.
3. Banana and coconut oil mask
After a hair appointment and discovering your ideal haircut, it's important to maintain a regimen that leaves your hair feeling and looking as beautiful as it did straight out of the chair. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to improve the health and shine of your hair at home.
Bananas are a classic in hair masks and a great source of natural oils, potassium, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals that help moisturize your hair. Also, a small amount of coconut oil works wonderfully on brittle and dry hair (just be careful how much you use because it could make your hair look greasy). Mix all the components into a silky paste and use it on the hair. After 15 minutes, remove it completely by rinsing.
4. Wheat germ and banana oil mask
Natural moisturizing elements and high protein content make up this hair mask. It offers you a long-lasting result and protects and softens dry hair. This is a fantastic replacement for expensive salon services.
There are only two ingredients in this easy DIY recipe, both of which you can probably find in your kitchen. Bananas are rich in vitamins and minerals that support healthy hair, and honey is an emollient that can help with scalp health.
To do this, mix half a banana, a quarter of a cantaloupe and a tablespoon of wheat germ oil. Apply it to your scalp and massage it in to promote hair growth. After 30 minutes, remove and shampoo. All hair types can use this mask.
5. The Egg Mask
To feed your hair and promote healthy development, apply this egg mask. The olive oil nourishes each strand of hair while the eggs are full of protein. Cinnamon is another ingredient in this recipe that helps keep your scalp oil-free.
This hair mask improves the texture of your curls and moisturizes your strands to promote healthy development. The avocado and banana combination of this mask also helps reduce dandruff and hair loss.
Try this easy DIY hair treatment that combines the healing properties of eggs and coconut if you have oily hair. Henna is also used to naturally smooth hair and reduce frizz. Make sure to rinse your hair with freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice after using this treatment. The acidity of these fruits will help remove the overpowering smell of the egg.
