DIY Hair Masks! 3 Deep conditioning, moisturizing and repairing hair masks! #DIYBeauty

I have an awesome DIY for you ladies today! If there is one thing I hate, it’s spending money on things I can do myself at home. In the world of hair masks, I hate to spend money on a bottle or jar of one particular product because I don’t like my hair to get “used” to any one product for an extended period of time because I feel like it loses it’s purpose. So I researched a lot over the years and have found so many different “at-home” hair masks. That way, you just whip it up and use it once and the next time you can try something new with products that you have at your house instead of spending an obscene amount of money on something that may or may not even work for your hair. Today I am going to share three of my FAVORITE masks that I rotate throughout the month.

Dry and Damaged Hair Mask 
DIY Egg Hair Mask! Full instructions & Super moisturizing!
This mask is great for anyone with dry and damaged hair. It’s instantly moisturizing. The measurements for this mask are based on someone with shoulder length hair so for longer hair I would double the ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 1 Egg
DIRECTIONS
  • Mix well
  • Apply generously to dry hair
  • Let sit for 15-20 minutes
  • Shampoo & Conditioner hair as normal
Banana Hair Mask 
DIY Banana Hair Mask! Full instructions!
This hair mask is great for when you need a little extra moisture and I have also found that it helps cut down on frizziness. I love using this in the summer, as well as after I have dyed my hair for some added moisture. It also leaves your hair smelling amazing!
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Banana
  • 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
  • 3 Spoonfuls of Mayonnaise

DIRECTIONS

  • Mix well
  • Apply to dry hair generously, concentrating on the root
  • Leave mask on hair for 30 minutes
  • Shampoo normally
Strawberry Deep Conditioning Mask 
DIY Strawberry Hair Mask!
This mask works as a deep conditioner and is probably my favorite of the three. It leaves your hair feeling weightless and looking shiny and smooth.
INGREDIENTS
  • 8 Strawberries
  • 2 Tablespoons of mayonnaise
DIRECTIONS
  • Blend well to form a cream
  • Apply generously to wet hair
  • Leave mask on for 15 minutes
  • Shampoo as normal

    Great ideas! I’ve done avocado hair masks before and still do. Just mash up an avocado add olive oil and mix it well, apply to hair let sit 20 mins and wash like
    Normal. It adds moisture and texture which I love.

    I make my own hot oil treatments changing out my favorite essential oils of the moment and using coconut oil from the kitchen. I don’t think I’ve ever done a diy hair mask though. I should try one of these out.

    Ill definitely try the strawberry one. I use apple cider vinegar as a rinse once a week and i also use another diy recipe ( rosemary oil. Lavender oil. Basil oil. Burdick root and aloe vera gel for itchy scalp and to help promote hair growth). Second one was expensive but i like the wayy scalp feels after i use it

    I definitely need to try out this hair growth one! My hair is at a standstill and refuses to go anywhere, I need to find someone who knows how to install extensions!
