20 Homemade Hair Treatments
Here are 20 tips for easy Treatments DIY hair masks made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
Need to moisturize?
1. Avocado
Avocado has a well-deserved reputation for being one of nature’s perfect foods. Its oils and proteins will smooth and moisturize your locks without weighing down fine hair. Mash up half an avocado and add a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil. Shampoo hair, squeeze out the water, and apply the hair mask. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse.
My hair came out super soft—not flat or greasy at all. And the added scent made sitting around with green goop on your head much more pleasant.
If you’re not worried about weighing down your hair, you can amp up the moisture by adding 1–2 tablespoons of oil, egg yolk, or yogurt.
2. Coconut Oil
The wonders of coconut oil never cease! This oil is heavy, which is great for penetrating deep into the hair shaft, but use it sparingly, especially if you have fine or thin hair.
Take a small amount of coconut oil, rub it between your hands, and apply just to the ends of damp hair. If the oil is in the solid form, just warm it in the microwave for about 10 seconds until it becomes liquid, and let it cool a bit before touching it (be careful because it can get VERY hot).
3. Banana + Olive Oil
Not only can bananas work their magic on your feet, but they are awesome for your hair! Mix a banana with 1 tablespoon of organic extra virgin olive oil and mash thoroughly until the banana is pureed.
You definitely want a super smooth smoothie-like texture, so you don’t end up with banana chunks in your hair. Then massage into your hair and scalp. Leave the treatment on for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and shampoo.
4. Pumpkin + Honey
This could be the perfect use for canned pumpkin puree leftovers (because there are always leftovers). Pumpkins have lots of amazing benefits—they’re rich in vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, potassium, and zinc.
