DIY NATURAL HAIR MASK TREATMENT

Quarantine has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for many of us, myself included!

At first, I struggled to adapt to self-isolation and as a result, a lot of things I used to do beauty-wise, fell to the waist side. Now that time has gone by and I have had the time to properly adjust to the situation, I am trying to build a new and improved routine, one that involves a few extra self-love beauty practices like doing a DIY hair mask at home using natural ingredients.

Hair mask are great for a variety of reasons. For 1) they promote scalp health and can help balance the PH levels of your scalp making it either less oily or less flaky, 2) it can help strengthen the hair and reduce breakage, 3) it can add moisture back into your hair so that it feels softer and is shiny, and 4) it can actually help stimulate growth and thickness.

For me personally, I wanted to have something that added moisture back into my scalp and strengthen my hair so I used coconut oil, honey, banana, and egg in mine.

During the research and development phase of this blog post though what I quickly figured out about hair masks was that when it comes to ingredients any combination from the below list goes, it just depends on what kind of results you are after!

So next, I encourage you to take a look at the list of ingredients below and review their benefits before creating a hair mask that fits your personal hair needs.
