If you tend to have dry hair, experts recommend a conditioning avocado mask containing one ripe avocado, one tablespoon Coconut Oil, and one egg yolk. Egg yolks, as opposed to egg whites, are proven to promote hair growth.
Moisturizing Mask
To make the mask, whisk the egg to a frothy liquid, stir in the coconut oil, and add the finely mixed avocado. When combined, apply the mask to towel dry hair from roots to ends. Cover with a plastic cap and let the mask sit for 10 to 20 minutes. Shampoo and condition as usual. When dry, your hair should feel strong and moisturized, thanks to the combination of the avocado and egg yolk.
Add Shine with Olive Oil and Coconut Oil Mask
A combination of olive oil and coconut oil can contribute to high-gloss shine. Both the oils are natural emollients that keep hydration in the hair so it can remain smooth, soft, and shiny. And if you have dry ends, olive oil in particular will coat them, making them feel smooth and look polished. Try mixing one fourth of a cup of olive oil with one tablespoon of heated coconut oil. The warmth of the oil will open the hair cuticle for deeper penetration. Leave on the hair for 10 minutes in a shower cap then rinse with warm water.
For thinning or brittle hair
Blend two egg yolks, two ripe bananas, two to three tablespoons of honey, half cup of conditioner, and two tablespoons of olive oil, until fully pureed. Slather all over and leave on for 20 to 30 minutes; rinse with cool water. “Results are immediate,” says an user. “But keep in mind that it only lasts until your next shampoo.”
While dry, brittle hair is a struggle on its own, it can also lead to increased breakage and dullness. Mix a little lemon into the yolks to lessen the egg smell. When applying, put the mixture on hair from roots to ends and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour to really penetrate into hair.
Strengthen Fine Hair With a Milk and Honey Mask
If you’re sporting fine hair and looking for a DIY hair mask to treat damage, you’ve found it in a mixture of milk and honey. Honey contains keratin to help strengthen the hair and prevent breakage caused by weak, brittle hair. It also encourages cell regeneration for a healthier scalp and has anti-inflammatory properties that can calm irritation. When combined with milk,—which is chock-full of proteins, amino acids, vitamin B12, iron, and zinc—the duo can help soften the hair and support its structure.
Because milk has a thin, liquid-y consistency, try putting one cup of milk along with one tablespoon of honey into a spray bottle and misting it onto the hair. Leave in for 10 to 20 minutes after shampooing (in place of conditioner). Rinse out with warm water for shiny, smooth results.
