5 Homemade Hair Masks Using Items In Your Pantry

Everybody wants luxe beautiful hair, but hair treatments can be expensive, especially when you’re doing them once a month (sometimes more!) Whether you’re on a dollar or dime budget, here are some homemade hair masks that will give you that high dollar look!

1. For Hair Growth

Ingredients:

1 egg

1 tbsp of coconut oil

1 tbsp of olive oil

2 tbsp of honey

Microwave coconut and olive oil for 10-15 seconds, or until it is in liquid form. Let cool slightly (you don’t want a scrambled egg!) and mix all ingredients. Massage into hair and cover with shower mask (or a plastic bag) if you don’t have a mask for 30 minutes. Rinse and shampoo.

Note: For an added moisturizer and a nice smell, add a few drops of lavender oil to the mix

2. For Squeaky Clean Hair

Ingredients:

½ c of plain yogurt

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp water

Mix all ingredients, apply and massage into scalp. Leave for 1 minute and rinse.

3. For Thicker Hair

Ingredients:

1 banana

1 egg

½ c of flat beer (use a pale ale like Bud Light as opposed to a stout or IPA)

1 tbsp honey

Mash banana and mix in egg until the mixture is smooth and then add beer and honey. Apply and massage into hair for 5 minutes. Leave the mixture on the head for one hour. Rinse and shampoo.

Note: Use a comb in the shower to get out any residual banana chunks

4. For Softer Hair

½ avocado

1 tsp olive oil

Blend avocado and olive oil until smooth. Apply to damp hair, let sit for 10 minutes and rinse.

5. For Oily Hair

Ingredients:

5-7 strawberries

½ c plain yogurt

½ tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Blend strawberries and yogurt in a food processor or blender until smooth, and then mix in vinegar, massage into hair, focusing on oil-producing areas of the scalp and around the ears. Leave for 2-3 minutes and rinse.
