Easy and Affordable Homemade Hair Masks

Written by Tonia ~ Category: Wellness ~ Read Time: 3 min.

Usually, at the end of summertime, we tend to set some new season goals, till the "official" resolutions by the end of the year. We have already mentioned how important it is to take care of ourselves, either mentally or physically, and that is what we should set as one of our primary goals for the new fall season coming ahead.

Besides a good evening sleep, which is the most important self-care action, we should definitely take care of our hair!

Summer, sun, sea, salt…

The pleasant memories of the summer season that is slowly coming to an end…. Pleasant for everyone??? Certainly not for our hair, in which everything from the above makes our hair look damaged and dry!

The solution is simple and lies in our kitchen cupboard!

We can easily, quickly, and most importantly, affordably make our own hair masks with simple, natural ingredients that we all have in our kitchen, and if we don’t, we can get them from the supply store in our neighborhood.

After researching and testing several homemade hair masks, we suggest 3 very easy recipes that will make your hair look healthy, shiny, and refreshed again.

1. Hair mask with egg and olive oil

Ingredients (quantities are adjusted, depending on the length of the hair)

1 egg (If you have normal hair, use the whole egg to treat your hair. If you have oily hair, use only egg whites. If you have dry and brittle hair, use only yolks)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the ingredients and add a little cold water (be careful, not hot, because the eggs will boil) to dilute the mixture so it can be spread over the entire length of the hair.

Application

We spread the mixture along the entire length of our hair by gently massaging the hair roots. Leave the mask for 15-20 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water and your regular shampoo.

Use

1 to 2 times a month depending on the need of our hair

3. Hair mask with yogurt, honey, and banana

1 tablespoon honey diluted in a little lukewarm water

Preparation

After mashing the banana in a bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well until the mixture is homogenized.

Bonus tip: Olive oil is not easy to rinse, so use some shampoo without wetting your hair as a "first hand"’ wash and then rinse with plenty of water!
