minutes. Divide your hair into four to six sections, depending on how thick your hair is. Starting with the first section, use your fingers to apply a thin layer of coconut oil to your hair and scalp. Continue applying the oil to each section until your hair is coated. Then, cover your head with a shower cap and a hot towel. Let the oil sit for up thirty minutes, then shampoo and condition your hair to remove it.If you don’t have much time, leave the oil on your hair for ten minutes. It won’t be quite as effective, but you should see results.
Variation: For very dry hair, it’s okay to leave the mask on your hair for longer. In fact, you can even use it as an overnight treatment. Use the oil before bed, then sleep with the shower cap and towel on your head. Wash your hair in the morning to remove the oil.
Do a hot oil treatment to add moisture to your hair. Pour about .five cups (120 mL) of oil into a bowl. Heat the oil in a pot of boiling water or the microwave until it feels warm. Massage the oil into your hair and scalp, then cover your hair with a shower cap and a warm towel. Let the oil sit for thirty to forty five minutes. Finally, shampoo and condition your hair to remove the oil.
You can use any oil that you have on hand. Avocado oil is a great option for dry hair, and jojoba oil helps with dandruff. You can also use coconut oil, which is great for all hair types.
Try a homemade egg yolk mask, which may help with dryness. To make your mask, put two to three whole eggs into a clean bowl and add 2-3 drops of lemon juice. Beat the eggs until they get frothy, then apply the mask to your hair using your fingers. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the mask sit for twenty minutes. Rinse the mask out with cool water, then shampoo and condition your hair.
You can use this treatment once or twice a month.
Don’t rinse the mask out with warm or hot water because the egg will start to cook and will be harder to remove.
Variation: You can add half a banana, two tablespoons (30 mL) of honey, two tablespoons (30 mL) of olive oil, or 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of coconut oil to your mask for extra softness and shine. However, keep in mind that these ingredients don’t work the same way for everyone and aren’t guaranteed to help your hair.
Use a homemade gelatin mask for smooth, shiny hair. Stir 1 tbsp (9 g) of gelatin into 1 cup (240 mL) of warm water. Let the gelatin sit for 5 minutes, then add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of apple cider vinegar and 6 drops of rosemary essential oil. Mix the ingredients, then apply the mask to your hair. Let is sit for 10 minutes before shampooing and conditioning your hair.
Instead of the rosemary essential oil, you can use clary sage, lavender, or jasmine essential oil.
Use a thick layer of mayonnaise to your hair to restore moisture. Wet your hair with warm water before applying the mask. Use your fingers to apply a thin coat of mayonnaise to your hair, starting at your ends and working up to your roots. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the mayonnaise sit for thirty minutes to an hour. Finally, rinse out the mayonnaise, shampoo, and condition.
Choose a mayonnaise that contains eggs and oil, as these are the ingredients that treat the dryness.
Use an avocado mask to add moisture to your hair and scalp. Add a ripe avocado, two tablespoons (30 mL) of extra virgin olive oil, and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of honey to a blender, food processor, or clean bowl. Mix the ingredients together until your mask is an even consistency. Use the mask to dry hair and massage it into your scalp. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the mask sit for 30 minutes. Finally, rinse your hair out with cool water, then shampoo and condition.
Avocados are rich in vitamins, minerals, and naturtal oils, so they may make your hair soft
