DIY easy hair masks for dry hair


                                                                Hi lovelies!
In the previous post we have read about causes and remedy for dry and damaged hair.
   Let me take you through the beauty page of my blog of how hair masks help repair
                         Damaged hair and some of the DIY masks you can try home.

                                     
              How hair masks work?
Masks can help remove oil and dirt from your hair and give it a shot of moisture, making it shinier and more manageable. They also serve as a deep conditioner. You can use a hair mask as often as once a week, although for many people once a month is enough. 

It’s easy to make your own masks at home as you can control the ingredients, modifying the mask for your hair’s needs and ensuring your mask doesn’t contain any unwanted chemicals. Masks are great choices for gently counteracting the damaging effects of hair coloring, blow drying etc, and are very relaxing. 

                                                                      
                                                DIY hair masks:
I have personally tried most of the masks mentioned below and I have definitely noticed a difference!
NOTE: Once you’ve applied any of these masks to your hair, wrap your head in plastic wrap or
                               wear a shower cap for at least 20-30 minutes — your body’s
                                                          heat will help the mask work.
After the time is up, rinse out the mask and wash your hair with a gentle shampoo.


     1)     Coconut mask: Massage coconut cream directly into the scalp (sold in cans at grocery stores).

     2)      Egg+ yogurt mask: Mix one egg with two tablespoon of yogurt and work through your hair.

     3)    Banana mask: Blend one banana, one egg, three tablespoons honey, three tablespoons milk, and five tablespoons olive oil or almond oil. Spread the mixture through your hair.

     4)    Avocado mask: Mix one avocado, one tablespoon honey, and two tablespoons olive oil.  For dry hair and dandruff, blend the avocado with one tablespoon each of lemon juice and aloe gel, and one teaspoon sea salt.

     5)    Olive oil mask: Blend two tablespoons olive oil with one egg. Olive oil is extremely moisturizing while egg will add shine to your hair.

     6)    Mayonnaise mask: one egg+ 2 tablespoon of olive oil+ 2 tablespoon of vinegar. Mix well and massage slowy into the scalp.

     7)    Honey mask: 2 tablespoon of honey+ 2 tablespoon of castor oil+ one egg. Blend well and apply evenly from hair roots to tips.

     8)    Fenugreek mask: Take ½ cup of fenugreek seeds and soak in water overnight. Blend well to make a paste, the next morning, and massage into the scalp.

     9)    Herbal Henna: This is a well know traditional remedy to all the hair problems. Soak 1-2 cups of henna (depending on hair length) overnight. Apply to the hair the next day.





                                                                    That’s all for now!
                                                          Have fun! See you all soon!!!
