Quick And Easy DIY Hair Masks For Luscious Tresses!

Just because you cannot go to the salon as much as before doesn’t mean your hair doesn’t deserve some pampering! With intimate weddings on a rise, every bride needs to bring her a-hair-game to her happy day. So, we thought to help you out a little. Simple and easy DIY hair masks will allow you to say hello to shiny and luscious tresses. Read on for hair masks that you can make from some simple ingredients in your kitchen.

Coconut Tales

If you are looking for the answer to this question - What is the best hair mask for extremely damaged hair? This is it! Coconut oil is a natural beauty powerhouse and works best to soften and tame thick dry and damaged hair. Combine melted coconut oil and whisked egg in a bowl. Mix until blended. Use a spray bottle to wet your hair, and then apply the coconut oil and egg mixture evenly over your damp hair. Let the mask sit for 15 to 20 minutes, and then rinse out with lukewarm water.

Hair Mask In A Cooker!

Who knew that a hair mask could be made in a cooker? While you cook rice, take out the excess water that remains after you cook the rice and use it as a hair mask. Rice water for fungal infections like dandruff is a great remedy. After shampooing, apply rice water to your scalp and hair. Massage for 15 mins and rinse or condition as usual!

All The Goodness Of Milk And Honey

Milk for hair? Yes! It is chock-full of proteins, amino acids, vitamin B12, iron, and zinc combined with honey, which contains keratin to help strengthen the hair and prevent breakage caused by weak, brittle hair - the duo can help soften the hair and support its structure. Are hair masks good for thin hair? This one is! Put one cup of milk along with one tablespoon of honey into a spray bottle and misting it onto the hair. Leave in for 10 to 20 minutes after shampooing (in place of conditioner). Rinse out with warm water for shiny, smooth results. Quick tip - The thicker the hair, the higher the fat content of milk you should use; for example, if you have coarse hair, use cream, and if you have thin hair, use skim milk.

The Ultimate Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

Who thought that a rinse with one ingredient could be one of the most cleansing hair masks ever! If you are looking for a hair mask for shiny hair at home this simple one is a game changer. It can be a great detangler for long fine hair, helps to close the cuticle of colour-treated hair, thus reducing fade age. It can also help control frizz, making it a popular treatment among those with curly and textured hair and clear the hair follicle from debris and help reduce hair loss. Take one cup of ACV and mix it with 2 cups of water and rinse your hair post shampoo with it. Ensure that you shut your eyes as it may irritate your eyes while rinsing. Another easier way to do this is mix one cup of apple cider vinegar with a tablespoon of honey, put the mixture into a spray bottle and mist onto the hair. Leave in for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Perfect hair mask on dry hair!

Bring In The Oils!

Are googling how to get shiny hair home remedies? This is the hair mask you have been waiting for! Olive oil and coconut oil! A combination of olive oil and coconut oil can contribute to commercial-ready, high-gloss shine. Both are natural emollients that keep hydration in the hair so it can remain smooth, soft, and shiny. Mix 2 spoons of olive oil to one spoon of coconut oil (increase in this ratio if you want more quantity) and warm it. If you are wondering should you put a hair mask on your roots? – this is the one you should. Massage this mixture on your scalp and massage the scalp for atleast 15 minutes. The warmth of the oil will open the hair cuticle for deeper penetration and the massage will stimulate the roots. Leave it on for a hour or two (max 4 hours) and shampoo as usual!

This is super simple and super effective! Mix almond oil and egg until you get a smooth paste. Section your hair and start applying the almond oil and egg mask to your scalp through the length of your hair. Rinse it off after 40 minutes using a mild shampoo and conditioner.
