CREATE YOUR OWN DIY HAIR MASK

By BrazenWoman

Using plain ol' supermarket foods!

  • AVACADO MASH-UP

    Avocado is one of nature's greatest moisturizers, rich in vitamins such as E & B and nutrients. Its natural oils will give your hair the moisture it's lacking. Use about half an avocado, mash it, use on it's own or with other ingredients.

  • Slick On Honey

    Honey is moisturizing and a humectant (has the ability to cling onto moisture) making it suitable for dry hair. Be aware that it also lightens the color of your hair (bleaching effect). Use as much as necessary (not too much or you'll be left with sticky hair), can be mixed into other ingredients such as the avocado or banana. Apply to damp hair.

  • Magic Mayonnaise

    Sounds disgusting, but mayonnaise is made of eggs, vinegar and oil, all three of which have been used for many years to give volume, shine and hydration to hair. For dry and damaged hair it's best used mixed with avocado, although it can be used alone.

  • Banana Beauty

    Mix in a little mashed up banana with your honey or olive oil for the most moisturizing and sweet-smelling hair mask around. Be sure to wait until it's nice and ripe for easy mashing.

  • Olive Oil, the Extra Virgin Kind

    Olive oil has been used for centuries for hair and skin moisturizing as it is nourishing and strengthening, perfect for dry and damaged hair! Can be mixed with other ingredients such as avocado or banana, OR to use on its own; work it through warm, damp hair as needed (not too much or risk not being able to rinse it) from roots to tips. Wrap either a warm towel or a plastic bag over your hair and leave for 20 minutes, then rinse.
