One of the hottest trends in hair care is natural hair mask and hair rinses that you can make from basic ingredients found in most kitchens. A hair mask is a common treatment in spas around the world, used not only on sun scorched hair but on colour treated hair and hair that is constantly being damaged due to heated appliances.
Protein conditioning mask
Use on all hair types. Put ½ of a banana, ¼ of cantaloupe, ¼ of avocado, one tablespoon of yogurt and one tablespoon of wheat germ oil in a blender. Massage the mixture into the scalp, cover and leave for at least 15 minutes.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon
Combine 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar with the grated peel of an entire lemon and allow it to set for 15 minutes to absorb the excess oil from your scalp, and then rinse in the shower.
Fast Track Mask
For a dry scalp and hair, warm up some extra virgin olive oil over a pot of water, apply to your hair, massage into your scalp, wrap your hair up and leave for 30 minutes.
Banana banquet
For damaged hair, combine a very ripe banana with a few drops of almond oil. Apply throughout the hair, cover and leave for approximately 15 minutes. Rinse with soda water and shampoo as normal.
Egg-centric hair mask
For very dry hair, mix together two whole eggs with four tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the mixture mid lengths and ends and then to the root area, cover with a plastic wrap. Wait for 10 – 15 minutes and shampoo as usual.
Curly Sue
Mix a tablespoon of honey with one litre of clean water and rinse the hair after using your normal shampoo to keep frizziness under control.
Restructuring mask
Mash ½ an avocado, ½ of a banana add an egg yolk and one teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Blend all ingredients and apply to pre-washed hair. Massage into the scalp, cover and leave for up to an hour. Used once a week will help protect and restructure your hair.
