DIY Hair Mask 1: Sweet As Honey

The first mask has ingredients that are jammed packed with nutrients that feed your dry, brittle hair.

  • 1/4 cup honey- This is an emollient which means that it is a natural softener. It improves the health of hair follicles, which are responsible for hair growth. The natural antioxidant that the honey contains also stimulates hair growth by making the scalp healthy. It has been said that proper use of honey can awaken the sleeping hair follicles that boost hair growth.
  • ½ cup yogurt- Surprisingly, yogurt has been used since ancient times. The multi-vitamin rich food contains an endless amount of lactic acid that is extremely beneficial for dull hair. This acid is great for cleansing the scalp and clearing away any unwanted skin cells.
  • 1 banana– Yes, that’s right, it’s not just for eating! Bananas help with the prevention of hair loss and are a natural conditioner. Bananas also repair the scalp and hair that are severely damaged.
  • Essential oil 5-10 drops (optional) – Add your favorite essential oil to form a sweet smell, leaving the hair with a pleasant scent.
