We all love our hair, and it is one of the beauty assets we are blessed with! Long, healthy and nourished hair is every woman’s dream, and it is a misconception that for those dreamy locks, we need to resort to the salon or take regular spa treatments that leave us with light pockets. Sometimes the home remedies our grandma’s swore by can do a much better job for our hair than the chemicals we swear by at the salon. We bring you a hair mask that is perfect to moisturise, strengthen, repair and control frizz and help your hair grow.
Try this simple and effective protein DIY hair mask for those envious luscious locks you see onscreen. The best part is that this masque is environmentally friendly with no harsh chemicals and toxins.
All you need are
Eggs Olive oil Yogurt Honey
Start by beating 2 eggs one by one until they become frothy and double the original volume; then add in half a cup of olive oil.
Once blended, add half a cup of yogurt to it until the consistency is thick and creamy, mixing the honey into the mask.
Free your hair from tangles and dampen it for the masque application.
Take 1-2 inch sections of hair and apply the mixture from roots to the end, massaging each strand slowly with your fingers. Once applied, comb the hair with a wide-tooth comb so that all your hair is coated evenly.
Wrap your hair in a warm towel for 20-30 minutes and add heat with a blow dryer for a spa feel, interlocking the heat and giving steam to your hair. Rinse out thoroughly and shampoo in the normal way. Repeat this once a week.
And voilà! You just got yourself a spa treatment at home without spending a penny. And your hair is happy with a little bit of chemical-free TLC.
