Missed a scheduled hair appointment because of the extended quarantine? If your hair is in serious need of some loving, don’t worry—you can pamper your tresses right at home, using ingredients lying unnoticed in your fridge!
Below, check out these easy DIY hair masks you can try at home:
1. Egg Hair Mask
Perfect for: Brittle hair
What you'll need:
1 egg yolk
One of Bea Alonzo’s beauty hacks is applying egg yolk to her scalp and locks. Egg yolks are packed with protein, which strengthens the hair. Do this mask regularly to reduce hair fall!
2. Coconut Oil Mask
Perfect for: Lackluster locks; colored hair
What you'll need:
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
Unfortunately, damaging hair styling comes in Miranda Kerr’s line of work. She uses a mixture of coconut oil and apple cider vinegar to simultaneously hydrate her tresses. It helps remove product buildup on the scalp, too!
3. Yogurt Hair Mask
Perfect for: Itchy scalp and dandruff treatment
What you'll need:
1 scoop of full-fat yogurt
1 teaspoon of honey
1 egg
Actress Priyanka Chopra keeps her hair sleek with this recipe. Yogurt also contains enzymes that help keep dandruff in control. Leave the mixture on for 30 minutes. Wash off with baby shampoo or warm water.
4. Mayonnaise Hair Mask
Perfect for: Dry, bleached hair
What you'll need:
1 scoop of mayonnaise
Leave the mayonnaise on for 20 minutes. Rinse and voila, you’ve got smooth, shiny hair! This beauty hack is vetted by Sam Pinto, who maintains long, healthy locks despite multiple dye jobs.
5. Green Tea Hair Mask
Perfect for: Scalp psoriasis and dandruff treatment
What you'll need:
3 green tea bags
2 to 3 cups of hot water
If it’s good for your body, it’s good enough for your hair! After seeping the tea, allow it to cool down. Shampoo and condition your hair as normal, then massage the tea onto your scalp and tresses for 15 minutes.
6. Avocado Hair Mask
Perfect for: Dull, dyed hair
What you'll need:
1 mashed avocado
Your conditioner of choice
Mix your favorite conditioner or hair mask with mashed avocado. Leave it on for 30 minutes. Victoria’s Secret Angel alumna Adriana Lima shares that this concoction leaves her hair extra shiny.
