Why hair masks?

Hair masks are quick yet highly potent, effective ways to provide your hair with tons of health benefits in less than 20 minutes. Think of hair masks like high powered hair conditioners, giving your hair benefits like softening and hydrating, a boost to grow, adding shine, and even fighting off infections. While some hair salons offer expensive hair treatments that yield similar results, we've decided to go straight to Mother Nature for our hair masks. This collection of hair masks only require a few, all-natural ingredients each, which can all be found in your fridge or cupboard and come straight from the Earth. The recipes we’re going to share with you are all wonderful hair masks to help nourish, protect, and moisturize your hair, so you can ensure you're putting your best hair forward.

1. Coconut Oil + Honey Hair Mask (Repairing) 


Let’s break down the ingredients and their benefits.

COCONUT OIL

The benefits of Coconut Oil are endless! Coconut Oil for hair keeps it moist and soft and prevents hair breakage because of its high moisture retaining capabilities. Since Coconut Oil is loaded with fatty acids, it penetrates the hair more deeply than regular conditioners, leading to beautiful soft, silky, shiny hair. 

HONEY

 First, honey is great for retaining moisture in your hair as it is a natural humectant. This means that it sucks moisture into the hair and prevents it from escaping. This is especially great if you have dry hair and need an extra boost of moisture and hydration. Honey is also an emollient, which helps smoothen and soften your hair.

THE INGREDIENTS

- 1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil
- 1 tablespoon of honey

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix all ingredients into a bowl
2. Transfer mix into a pot and heat up until melted
3. Apply to hair from top to bottom and cover with a shower cap
4. Let it sit for 15-20 mins
5. Rinse

   2. Coconut Oil + Cinnamon Hair Mask (Hair         Growth)

CINNAMON

Cinnamon has antimicrobial properties that help your hair grow, helps with dandruff, hair loss, and strengthens your hair follicles as well. When applied to your hair, cinnamon stimulates circulation to the scalp, improving blood flow to the hair follicles, and leading to stimulated hair growth. If you're looking for longer hair, this is the hair mask for you. Let’s get to stirring!

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix these two ingredients in a bowl, and make sure they are mixed well.
2. Part your hair down the center and start by applying it down the part and on your scalp.
3. Use your fingertips to massage the product into your scalp. *Bonus Head Massage*
4. Tie your hair up and cover with a shower cap or a towel
5. Let this mask sit for 30-45 minutes and then rinse with your regular shampoo and conditioner.
This mask is best and most effective if used one a week. 

3. Egg + Lemon Hair Mask (Oily Hair)


EGGS

Eggs are rich in Vitamins A, D, and E, proteins and fatty acids, which help retain the luster and shine in your hair. As your hair is mostly made of protein, this extra boost to the hair leaves it feeling healthy and restored. 

LEMONS

Lemon is best for those with an oily scalp, as lemon juice has the capabilities of absorbing excess oil and grease in the scalp. Lemon is high in Vitamin C, which leads to strong hair, and its acidic nature will help clean your hair from any deposited products and dust. Lemon also contains a compound called Limonene, which adds bounce and shine to dull, lifeless hair. Lemon juice is also great for fighting Dandruff, as it has anti-fungal properties. Who knew there were all these benefits of lemon!

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 egg
- ½ lemon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Crack an egg, and be sure to only use the egg white.
2. Squeeze one half of a lemon into a mixing bowl.
3. Mix the egg white and lemon juice together until you have a smooth consistency.
4. Apply to damp hair from top to bottom.
5. Tie hair up and cover with a shower cap
6. Let this mask sit for 30-45 minutes and rinse with shampoo and conditioner.

  4. Banana, Yogurt + Honey Hair Mask (Frizzy Hair)



BANANAS

We go bananas for bananas in hair mask recipes! Bananas are secret wonders for hair conditioning. They are full of natural oils, potassium, carbohydrates, and vitamins, all of which help lock in moisture and help eliminate that annoying frizz.

YOGURT

This recipe kind of sounds like we’re making a parfait, but we promise that yogurt has incredible benefits for your frizzy hair. Yogurt has high levels of lactic acid, which helps treat dull and damaged hair, so this ingredient is a must.
Now let’s learn how to make this  hair mask!

INGREDIENTS:


- 1 sliced banana
- 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of honey

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine all the ingredients together in a blender or mash the banana and mix the ingredients until they are all blended together well.
2. Apply the mask to damp hair from top to bottom.
3. Tie your hair up and cover with a shower cap.
4. Leave the mask on your hair for about 30-45 minutes.
5. Rinse with your regular shampoo and conditioner.
Boom! Frizz-be-gone! O

     5. Coconut Oil, Avocado + Honey Hair Mask (Damaged Hair)




AVOCADOS

Ever wonder why health nuts tout avocados as an essential ingredient to a well-balanced meal? That's because the guacamole ingredient is a natural, healthy fat, which offers nearly 20 different vitamins and minerals including potassium, folate (which repairs damaged cells), Vitamins C and E (which both promote hair growth). In other words, avocados add shine, moisturize, provide your hair with essential vitamins and proteins, and even help protect your hair against heat and everyday wear.

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 avocado
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mash avocado and put the mash in a mixing bowl.
2. Add eggs, honey, and oil to the avocado mixture and mix well.
3. Apply to your hair from the ends to the roots.
4. Let sit for 15-20 minutes.
5. Rinse.
There you have it! As you can see, you don't have to go far or spend a fortune when it comes to hair masks. By simply utilizing key ingredients in your kitchen and understanding each ingredient's benefit to your hair, you can mix and match them as you see fit to solve your hair problems. Now go ahead and schedule that night of pampering for yourself - you deserve it.
