It’s time to pamper yourself and show your hair some love and care. Most of us might have a problem or two hair problems; while there are many great over-the-shelf treatment masks, maybe you are in the mood for another option: homemade natural hair masks. Go to your kitchen and prepare your own mask using very simple ingredients according to your hair needs. Here’s a list of some DIY masks you would love to try.
Coconut Oil Mask
This mask works like magic with dry hair and scalp. It gives your hair the moisture it needs, which will help prevent split ends, frizz, and breakage. If your hair lacks moisture, opt for an intensive overnight treatment with a coconut oil hair mask.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Directions: Warm coconut oil in the microwave or a hot water bath, then massage it into wet hair and avoid the roots. Cover your hair with a shower cap or wrap and let it sit overnight. Wash your hair in the morning using a sulfate-free shampoo.
Castor Oil Mask
Are you struggling with your frizzy hair? This mask will help you get rid of it. Frizz is usually caused by damage or dryness due to environmental conditions, some hair types are inherently more prone to frizz. Castor oil contains fatty acid and ricinoleic acid, so it acts as a protectant; it coats and moisturizes your hair to improve smoothness and provide protection.
Ingredients: A sufficient amount of castor oil
Directions: On dry hair, apply a very thin layer over frizzy areas and wash it properly after 1-2 hours. Repeat this process twice a week for better results.
Rosemary Oil Mask
The best natural hair growth booster that you should try. Rosemary oil nourishes your hair follicles when used on the scalp. It stimulates blood circulation, strengthens hair roots, controls hair fall, and limits dandruff. It should be diluted with other carrier oils to maximize its benefits like castor oil.
Ingredients: Equal amounts of rosemary oil and castor oil
Directions: Apply this blend to dry hair and scalp, and massage your scalp for 5-10 minutes. It’s better to use a scalp massager to stimulate blood circulation.
Avocado Hair Mask
Various factors can cause damage to your hair, which is something you can’t fully control, but, this mask might help. The best natural treatment for this issue is an avocado-based mask; it helps refresh and moisturize the scalp and adds shine to your hair as it contains omega-3 fatty acids.
Ingredients: Half an avocado, 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 3 drops of essential oil of choice (Lavender, Peppermint, Rosemary, Chill Pill, or Tangerine)
Directions: Mix the ingredients until completely blended, then apply the mixture to wet hair. Wrap your hair into a bun and cover it with a shower cap. Let it sit for 30 minutes before shampooing.
