Milk And Honey Hair Mask
For finer hair types, try a DIY hair mask made of milk and honey. It’s just gentle enough to repair hair damage. Honey contains keratin, an essential protein that adds strength and structure to your hair. Its anti-inflammatory properties reduce scalp irritation and, when combined with milk, helps soften the hair. Due to milk’s thinner consistency, this mask works best when put into a spray bottle. Combine one cup of milk and one tablespoon of honey and mist it throughout your hair. Leave it in for 10 to 20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Mask
Apple cider vinegar has benefits for all different hair types. It tames the natural frizz of curlier and thicker hair, detangles longer and thinner hair, and helps reduce hair loss. For drier hair, be sure to dilute it to avoid stripping hair of its natural oils. For this mask, mix one cup of apple cider vinegar with one cup of water and a tablespoon of honey — here, honey acts as a binding agent and preserves your hair and scalp’s natural moisture. Add the mixture to a spray bottle and mist it throughout your hair. Leave in the lightweight mask for a minimum of 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Coconut Oil Hair Mask
Coconut oil is a natural beauty ingredient that works to nourish and soften thicker, drier hair. Melting a small amount of coconut oil and rubbing it between your hands is all it takes. For a deeper conditioning treatment, apply coconut oil throughout the ends of your hair. To promote growth and combat clogged pores, apply coconut oil directly on your scalp to incorporate its antimicrobial properties. This can be done either pre- or post-shampoo. If doing after your wash, keep in mind that it can be heavy on certain hair types, so start with 1/4 cup and add as necessary for your hair.
Lemon And Egg Hair Mask
If you find yourself constantly loading up on dry shampoo or hairspray, your scalp may have excessive buildup. A strong cleansing shampoo can help, but whipping up a quick hair mask made up of lemon and eggs may be the easier option. Egg whites are rich in protein and vitamins that fortify damaged hair. They eliminate oil buildup and boost overall scalp health. Lemon balances the scalp’s pH and encourages hair growth, while also masking the egg smell. Combine the juice of one lemon and one egg white and apply it to your dry, clean hair and scalp. Leave the mask on for an hour and rinse with cold water.
