Three D.I.Y. Hair Masks
Air-dry
Forgo the hairdryer for the summer and let your hair dry naturally and embrace natural waves and curls. When it comes to showering, hot water can also cause damage to your hair. Always use lukewarm water to rinse your hair.
These hair masks can be made with ingredients you may have in your kitchen right now so, whip one up and pamper your tresses.
Almond Oil, Honey, And Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Mask
Regular Trimming
For extremely dry hair and split ends, here’s an excellent solution.
During summer your hair is more prone to split ends at a faster rate. Visit your stylist for a regular trim to eliminate split ends or opt for a new cut or style that is easier to care for during the summer months. A wash-and-go cut is the perfect accessory for 2018.
Take a small bowl, and mix two tablespoons of honey, a tablespoon of almond oil, and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Mix all the ingredients well and apply from your scalp to the lengths of your hair. Focus more on the damaged ends. Keep the mask for half an hour and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. Honey acts as a natural conditioner, so it’s ok if you skip conditioning. Repeat this procedure once in 15 days and soon, you’ll notice the results. But before you try this treatment, it is better to trim your hair and get rid of split ends.
Protect Your Hair
Always protect your hair from the sun and the environmental pollution with a stylish hat, a pretty scarf or even a a bandana to cover your hair.
Wash and Condition
You don’t need to and shouldn’t wash your hair every day. Over-washing strips both your hair and scalp of natural oils and can make it dull and easily damaged. Wash your hair three times a week instead of seven and use a good quality shampoo and conditioner like ORIBE — high-performance, treatment- based products — now available at Blake Caissie Signature Blonde in Charlottetown.
Avocado And Mayonnaise Hair Mask
Since mayonnaise is made up of egg and oil, when applied to hair, it adds moisture and prevents further damage. Avocado is rich in fat, and it makes your hair much softer and smoother. To apply this hair mask, mash half an avocado and mix it with two tablespoons of mayonnaise. Apply this to your hair, especially at the ends. Keep it on for 20 minutes and then wash it with a mild shampoo.
Drink More Water
When you consume ample amount of water your body absorbs it and your scalp retains the moisture and strength which protects your hair follicles. Drink at least two to four litres of water everyday.
Egg And Mayonnaise Hair Mask
This recipe works well to defrizz your hair.
To make this, separate the yolk of two eggs from their whites and then, whisk the yolks with a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Apply this hair mask to your hair and let it sit for half an hour. Wash it off with a mild shampoo.
Oil Treatment
Gently massage your scalp with your favourite kind of oil and restore the moisture level and bring back the strength and nourishment your hair needs. You can use olive oil, coconut oil, rosemary oil or any other favourite.
