Dry, damaged and frizzy hair can make even the best hairstyle look dull. Heat styling, colouring, chemical treatments, pollution and changing weather can all leave hair feeling rough and brittle. Fortunately, a few simple ingredients from the kitchen can be used to create nourishing hair masks at home. Here are two easy combinations that can help condition dry-looking hair and make it feel softer and more manageable.
Coconut oil + banana + avocado
Step 01: Add one avocado, one ripe banana and two tablespoons of coconut oil in a blender jar. Blend it all together until it forms into a thick, smooth paste.
Step 02: Strain this mixture through a cheesecloth to get rid of any chunks and to allow the hair mask to spread more effectively.
Step 03: Apply this mixture all over your hair and scalp. Cover your hair with a disposable shower cap and leave it on for about 30 minutes.
Step 04: Rinse it off with a gentle shampoo and conditioner.
Why this works – Loaded with essential fatty acids and vitamins, coconut oil is a great ingredient to infuse moisture into severely dry and damaged hair. Avocados are brimming with vitamin B, which strengthens hair and prevents breakage by improving elasticity. Bananas on the other hand, are full of potassium and natural oils, and provide deep nourishment to chemically processed and dry strands, as well as prevent split ends and breakage.
Milk + honey
Step 01: Heat about a cup of milk in a saucepan until it’s lukewarm.
Step 02: Add a teaspoon of honey into the mixture and gently stir until it completely dissolves into the milk.
Step 03: Apply this mixture all over your hair and scalp, concentrating on the areas that are super dry and frizzy. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes before rinsing it off with some cold water and a gentle shampoo and conditioner.
