Hair Mask For Dry Hair

Hair Mask For Dry Hair


Decide what problems you are aiming to fix with your hair. Then you can decide on which ingredients will be right for you. These ingredients will aim to provide much needed oil and moisturisation to help protect against further damage and give your hair some shine back. Mix and match depending on what you have available and what matches your specific needs.

Make a selection of ingredients from the advice below and make your mask. Then, wash your hair as normal, but don't apply conditioner, just stop after shampooing. Squeeze any excess moisture out of your hair and comb. Then, take your mask (make it in a bowl before going for your shower), and apply evenly through the hair. Leave for 10-20 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. Finish with a cool (but not cold) rinse to close the hair follicle. Follow these instructions unless indicated to do differently with any of the ingredients below.

- Avocado: it's 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.

- Banana: good for improving hair elasticity, therefore preventing split ends and breakage. Mash about half a banana, use on its own or with other ingredients.

- Clear honey: honey is moisturising and has the ability to cling onto moisture making it suitable for dry hair. Be aware that it also lightens the colour of your hair.Can be mixed into other ingredients such as the avocado or banana. Apply to damp hair.

- 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.

- Olive oil: this has been used for centuries for hair and skin moisturisation as it is nourishing and strengthening, perfect for dry and damaged hair! Can be mixed in with other ingredients such as avocado or banana, OR to use on its own

- Eggs: are good for strengthening the hair and hair follicles meaning that they are ideal for damaged hair. Can be used alone or mixed into other ingredients, in particular olive oil for a super moisturising hair mask.

- You can also use Apple Cider Vinegar, Strawberries, Baking Soda and Lemon Juice.
