Making a mask is a great way to soften and discipline frizzy hair, but also to polish and nourish it. Depending on the ingredients you have available (or those that appeal to you the most), you can do different treatments. For example, you can try a yogurt and honey mask enriched with a few drops of coconut oil. Alternatively, you could try a banana, hair butter, and raw honey mask. If you want to shine your hair, an avocado and egg yolk mask can make a real difference, not to mention that it has revitalizing properties. Do one of these treatments once a week according to your needs.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Make a Yogurt and Honey Hair Mask
Step 1. Heat the coconut oil and yogurt in the microwave
Pour coconut oil into a small bowl and heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It should become lukewarm and liquefy, but not hot. Then, heat the yogurt in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to keep it from getting too low. If it gets too cold, the yogurt may cause the coconut oil to solidify again.
Step 2. Mix all the ingredients
Pour the yogurt, honey, and coconut oil into a bowl. Do not exceed the recommended amount of oil, otherwise the mask can leave the hair greasy. Mix the ingredients well.
- Yogurt contains proteins that nourish the hair, making it healthy and strong. Having moisturizing properties, it is also an excellent natural conditioner. It also contains lactic acid, which promotes hair growth.
- Honey has humectant and emollient properties. This means it can soften and discipline hair, while also helping to retain water.
Step 3. Apply the mask to your hair
Massage the mixture into your hair starting from the scalp and working up to the ends. Also massage it into the scalp itself. Cover your hair with a shower cap, plastic bag, or sheet of cling film. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
As you apply the mask, you may get dirt on the surfaces around you. You may want to apply the mask in the shower or on a sink
Step 4. Wash your hair
Rinse the mask completely. Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo, otherwise it may look greasy, not to mention that any yogurt residue left on your hair may turn rancid. Avoid using conditioner or apply it only on the tips.
This mask also acts as an intensive hydration treatment, so there is no need to apply additional products that perform this function
Method 2 of 3: Make a Banana, Honey and Butter based hair mask
Step 1. Mix the ingredients in a bowl
Mix a banana baby food, some hair butter and raw honey. Instead of using a baby food, you can also make a puree by mashing a ripe banana and using about 120g to make the mask.
Banana should only be used in the form of puree (like that of baby food), otherwise it would be very difficult to remove it from the hair
Step 2. Apply the mask to damp hair
Wet your hair well. Alternatively, you can apply the mask after washing them, before they dry completely. Coat them completely with the mixture. Cover them with a plastic bag or shower cap and leave the mask on for 30 minutes.
- Bananas contain calcium, natural oils and vitamins that nourish the hair and make it shiny and silky. The potassium in bananas is also effective in strengthening them and preventing them from cracking.
- Honey is a humectant. This means it can help your hair retain moisture. It is also an emollient, so it can soften and discipline them.
Step 3. Rinse the mask
Use cold or lukewarm water to completely remove the mask from your hair. It is not necessary to use shampoo or conditioner. Afterwards, you can blow dry and style your hair as usual.
Method 3 of 3: Make an Avocado and Egg Based Hair Mask
Step 1. Mix the avocado and egg yolks
Separate the egg whites from the yolks, then beat them with a fork or whisk. Mix the egg yolks and avocado well in a bowl.
You can also leave the egg whites, so that the hair can receive effective proteins to strengthen it. Alternatively, you can keep them in the fridge and use them later in the kitchen
Step 2. Apply the mask to damp or dry hair
Coat your hair with the mixture from root to tip. Cover them with a plastic bag or shower cap. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
- Egg yolks are high in fat and protein, plus they are naturally moisturizing. Egg whites, on the other hand, contain an enzyme called lysozyme, a bactericide capable of removing excess sebum. Making an egg mask can restore shine to your hair, while repairing damage caused by splitting.
- Avocado contains a long list of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B, C, E and K, magnesium, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids. These vitamins and nutrients can soften and strengthen hair. In addition, they remedy the dryness of the scalp and reduce or can even eliminate frizz.
Step 3. Rinse the mask
Use cold or lukewarm water to completely remove the mask from your hair. Shampoo and rinse. Proceed with applying the conditioner if you wish.
It is good to shampoo yourself, so that after the treatment there are no egg residues left in your hair
Advice
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo to combat frizz.
- Apply styling products to wet hair to reduce frizz. Avoid those with a high alcohol content.
