Step 1: Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera Hair Mask
An experiment I rounded off with a 30-minute warm towel session. Over time, I noticed my hair becoming softer.
How it helps:
- Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture.
- Aloe vera calms the scalp, restoring hydration.
How to use it:
- Combine coconut oil and aloe vera in a bowl.
- Apply to doused hair.
- Wash off after thirty minutes.
Step 2: Egg and Olive Oil Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment
Being one of the oldest household remedies, it had me surprised. Regardless of the type of hair you have, moisture and proteins are necessities.
Usage Steps:
- Beat one egg and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Put onto damp hair, use a shower cap, and wait for 20 minutes.
- Use cool water to rinse (trust me here, hot water will ‘cook’ the egg!).
Step 3: Nourishing Mask With Avocado and Banana
While this was messier than the first two, it was still effective. I used half a banana and a whole avocado, mashing it and then applying it to my hair. The vitamins from both provided a remarkable improvement after my first treatment.
How to use it:
- Mix banana and avocado until fully blended.
- Spread and let the blend sit for 15 minutes.
- Wash to eliminate all remnants of the mixture.
Main Components to Search For When Crafting DIY Hair Masks
The most important lesson for me was that not all ingredients are equal. Some are much more effective at providing moisture than others.
