To make this Hair mask, you need yogurt, honey and olive oil — all common and ordinary ingredients. But they can make your hair extraordinarily beautiful. Why these three, if that’s your question…
Yogurt is full of protein, which helps strengthen the hair shaft, making them less prone to damage and split ends. For your scalp health, yogurt has lactic acid. Its gentle cleansing action helps to clear away dead skin cells that gather on your scalp and cause it to become itchy and flaky.
Honey helps your hair absorb and restore moisture. And moisturized hair equals super soft and silky hair. Honey is also pH balancing and antiseptic, which make it good for your scalp too.
Olive oil is a superb hair softener. It’s oleic acids offer great moisturizing and conditioning effects. Your hair will be more elastic, so less breakage and easy to comb. Plus the vitamin E and polyphenols in olive oil rejuvenate hair follicles and encourage strong, healthy hair growth.
To make this mask you will need:
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (full fat)
- 3-4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional, adds rich brown tint)
- 1 egg yolk (optional, adds extra shine and softness)
Stir all of the ingredients together until well mixed.
How to use:
You can use this mask right before you shower.
Apply the mask to your hair and scalp (you can use it on dry or damp hair). Put on your shower cap or wrap your head in muslin cloth or a towel. Leave this on for 20-30 minutes.
Wash as normal and let your hair dry naturally. Do this mask once or twice a month to restore and maintain your hair.
