Homemade Hairmasks ~ Recipes

Hello!
Today I will talk about my homemade hairmasks. If you like to spoil your hair like I do, I'm sure you will enjoy.
Have you ever felt like your hair needed moisture and you are in desperately need for a hair mask? But Alas! You don't have money to buy one right now. Or you really just want to go natural.
I'm giving you a solution.
I usually mix some of my conditioner with the masks, but you don't really need to do that. Also, organic stuff will work better.
With everymask what you have to do is mix everything and put on your hair (you can apply it on your hair while wet, I don't do that though), I would recommend you to leave the mask for 20m in the first application since every hair is different and will react accordingly to that. If don't see a great improvement leave it for a little more time next time. Also, use a shower cap.
Remember one thing, my hair is medium and I have lots of it, so if you have long hair double the amount of ingredients and if you have short hair use only half.
And don't rinse the hairmasks with warm water but with diluted shampoo. After you do that, you can rinse it like you do when you wash your hair.


Honey Goodness
1. Honey and Cinnamon exfoliator hairmask - My Favorite!
For oily hair, if you want to lighten it up;
This mask will remove impurities and will naturally lighten your hair, while moisturing it.
AMAZING

You will need:
4 tablespoons of honey
4 tablespoons of water
1 tablespoon of cinnamon

If you want, you can use apple cider vinegar instead of water if you have really oily hair

2. Honey and Olive Oil
For dry, damaged and dehydrating hair;
As you know, honey is really sticky so olive oil will loosen the honey. Olive oil will add extra moisture to you hair, while leaving it silky.

You will need:
3 tablespoons of honey
4 tablespoons of olive oil

3. Banana and honey
For thin damaged hair;
The potassium present in bananas makes your hair stronger without weighing it down

You will need:
1 ripe banana
2 tablespoons of honey
You have to use a blender for this one, mix the two ingredients until you have a liquified mixture without no chunks, unless you want your hair with banana chuncks for the rest of the day.

4. Milk and Honey
For all types of hair;
This is an easy way for your hair to absorve all the moisture and benefits honey have

You will need:
A cup of milk
2 tablespoons of honey
You can use warm milk and then rinse this mask with cold water.


Things you would usually eat
1. Eggs
For all the types of hair;
adds shine and boosts your natural hair color.
You just have to beat the eggs and put them on your hair, very simple. I recommend to use this mask only once a month.
Or, you use the egg yolks if your hair is dry and needs a lot of moisture. And if you have oily hair like me, use only the egg whites. This ones you can use a couple of times per month or more.

2. Mayo
If you want shiny hair;
Mayo has an oily base so your hair will get really moisturized
This one is really simple, just rub mayo all over your hair. Your hair should be damp when you do this.
For an extra boost add an egg, or only the yolk or only the white. Your choice!

3. Natural Yogurt
For normal to oily hair;
Yogurt moistures your hair but at the same time washes away the excess of oil in the scalp
Just like mayo, rub it all over your hair. You can add a couple of tablespoons of honey and apple cider vinegar for a boost.

4. Avocado
For dry, brittle hair;
Avocado has great moisturizing properties and will make your dull hair alive again!

You will need:
One half of a ripe avocado
1 tablespoon of olive oil
4 tablespoons of milk

Blend, blend and blend. You should get a creamy mixture, don't put too much milk or else it will get really drippy.
