#33: How to; Treating damaged hair+DIY hair masks

Dedicated to @cevynsmamma for requesting a tutorial on how to treat damaged hair! 

Everyone has their good hair days, and bad hair days-mine being everyday. When your styling your hair, it's as if the universe decided to make your hair simply not work, no matter what you do. This might be becuase your hair is damadged. There are many ways to treat damadged, dry hair, but I will be showing you how to get healthy, shiny via hair masks.

3 DIY hair masks:

Coconut Oil Hair Mask

Coconut oil not only smells delicious, but is also the perfect lightweight moisturizer for your thirsty strands.

Ingredients:

2 parts Coconut oil

1 part Olive oil (optional)

Directions:

1.     Combine coconut and olive oil in a small bowl and mix well

2.     Apply the mixture to your hair, focusing on the ends

3.     Wrap hair in a bun on top of your head, cover with a shower cap and leave on for 15-30 minutes (depending on how damaged your hair is)

4.     Rinse out in the shower

5.     Shampoo and condition as usual

Banana Hair Mask

This mask is perfect for those of you with thinner hair – bananas contain potassium, which strengthens and fixes damaged hair without weighing it down.   

Ingredients:

1 banana (the riper, the better!)

1 tbsp honey (optional)

Directions:

1.     Blend banana in a blender, making sure all chunks are smoothed out (this is VERY important! If you don’t, you’ll be stuck with banana chunks stuck in your hair all day-ew)

2.     Apply the mixture to your hair

3.     Wrap hair in a shower cap and wait 15-20 minutes

4.     Rinse out in the shower

5.     Shampoo and condition as usual

Avocado Hair Mask

You already know that avocados are great moisturizing face masks – but did you know you can use them to nourish your strands as well? Egg yolks are full of fats and proteins to naturally revive your hair.

Ingredients:

½ avocado

1 egg yolk

Directions:

1.     Blend the avocado and egg yolk in a blender

2.     Apply to your hair, working from the bottom up to your scalp

3.     Wrap hair in a shower cap and wait 15-20 minutes (this is a great time to use the egg whites for a pore-tightening facial!)

4.     Rinse out in the shower

5.     Shampoo and condition as usual

Store bought hair alternatives:

If you don't have the time, ingredients or energy to make your own hair maks, this is for all you lazy arse's!

1.Macadamia natural oil deep repair masque (for Dry, Damaged hair-250ml/8.5oz) RRP $37.50 (AU). Yes, I know this is a bit pricey, okay its hella pricey but it works wonders. It leaves your hair shiny, healthy and repairs seriously damadged hair. So if you want to spend a tad more moolah in return for perf hair, this one is for you!

2.For those who like to keep it affordable, yet effective, there are heaps of products out there in store for you. I'd recommend 'Neutrogena triple moisture deep recovery hair mask' (RRP $6.99-prices may vary). It serves for practically all your hair wants and needs!
