We all have those days when our locks just don’t seem to cooperate. But before you reach for that expensive, chemical-laden hair treatment, here’s a tip. You can whip up a magical hair mask right in your kitchen with just a few ingredients. It’s easy, fun, and so good for you.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Optional: For extra protein, especially beneficial for damaged or chemically treated hair, add 1 egg to the mixture.
Instructions:
- Start by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a blender or a mixing bowl.
- Add the honey and olive oil to the avocado. If you’ve chosen to include an egg, add it now.
- Blend or mix the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Apply the mask to damp hair, starting from the roots and working your way down to the tips.
- Once your hair is fully coated, cover it with a shower cap or a warm towel to create a warm environment that helps the nutrients penetrate deeper. Leave the mask on for at least 20-30 minutes.
- Rinse the mask out with lukewarm water, followed by your regular shampoo and conditioner routine.
