Getting frustrated with your hair? Craving a visit to the hairdresser for your limp locks? Skip the urge to cut or dye and pamper yourself with these easy homemade hair masks to restore and rejuvenate for any hair type!
1- Damaged Hair:
1 Egg Yolk
2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
1 Tbsp. Honey
The protein in the egg promotes hair growth while the coconut oil and honey deeply condition and repair split ends. Blend ingredients together, apply all over hair, paying special attention to split ends, and sit for 30 minutes with a shower cap. Shampoo and condition normally to wash out the mask.
2- Natural Hair:
1/4th Avocado
Half a Banana
2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2-3 Tablespoons Mayo
Look no further than your kitchen for this fruity mask. Bananas are a natural source of biotin which accelerates hair growth while avocados are full of vitamin A and antioxidants that heals and protects hair. Mayonnaise and olive oil are moisturizers to keep hair shiny and smooth! Blend well and leave for 30 minutes.
3- Oily Hair:
1/2 Cup Strawberries
1 Egg White
1 Teaspoon Salt
Half of a fresh lemon
Strawberries are great at regulating sebum and removing excess oil. They also have vitamin C, which is essential for healthy hair! Paired with the protein rich egg whites and the exfoliating salt to remove dead skin cells, this mask will leave your hair weightless and smelling amazing.
4- Dry Hair:
1tsp Olive Oil
1Tbsp Honey
¼ Cup Yogurt
This mask is good enough to eat! Yogurt is perfect for supple hair while the honey smoothens and the olive oil deeply moisturizes. Mix and leave for 20 minutes!
5- Frizzy Hair:
2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tbsp Water (Equal parts)
Apple Cider Vinegar is perfect for calming frizzy fly-a ways. Apply to scalp using a cotton ball, comb through hair to distribute, and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing. For best results use once a week!
6- Long Hair:
3 Tbsp Castor Oil
1 Tbsp Jajoba Oil
For anyone trying to grow their hair out, castor oil is a miracle product to dramatically increase hair growth and thickness. Its ricinoleic acid balances scalp pH while the antioxidants strengthen hair. It’s also antibacterial and helps with the symptoms of dandruff! For best results, mix oils in a dropper bottle and apply to scalp in half-inch increments along parted hair. Leave overnight and wash out in the morning.

Really thank your for those homemade masks! Was tired of using commercial ones! But now, its time for switching to natural ones!
Great read! I use Mayonnaise mask
Mayonnaise is made of emulsified egg yolks and oil, and works by supplementing your hair with the oils it needs to look shin. Use full-fat mayonnaise for the best results. Once the mayo has soaked into your hair, rinse it out with warm water followed by a regular wash of shampoo and conditioner.
