The Best DIY Hair Masks for Summer
While there are several hair care products that cater to nourishing your tresses, nothing quite beats the simplicity and effectiveness of a natural home remedy. The range of hair masks for summer on this list ensures that they provide your locks with a nourishing experience that lasts. That said, selecting the best pick for your hair depends on its needs and type.
Whatever your hair problem is, there is a hair mask out there to help. Here are some of our favourites to get your hair care routine started:
Coconut Oil and Avocado Hair Mask
As an ingredient, coconut oil is known for its deep conditioning benefits to the hair. Both coconut and avocado are rich in fatty acids as well as other nutrients. These can help in intensely moisturising your hair while keeping your scalp irritation-free.
Recipe:
• Step 1: Take about one avocado in a bowl and mash it well until it is mushy. Add a few teaspoons of coconut oil to the bowl and fold it with the fruit.
• Step 2: Massage the ingredients well into your hair.
• Step 3: Cover your hair with a shower cap for about 20-30 minutes.
• Step 4: Wash your hair thoroughly with a mild clarifying shampoo and conditioner.
Banana and Yoghurt Hair Mask
The fruit, banana, is a potent source of antioxidants and minerals. It can strengthen your hair and fend off dandruff and frizz. When you add in some probiotic yoghurt in the mix, the hair mask leaves your scalp clean and tresses healthy and voluminous. Since the mask is gently moisturising, you can use the hair mask once or twice a week.
Recipe:
• Step 1: Mash a ripe banana in a bowl until it is smooth.
• Step 2: Mix in a few tablespoons of yoghurt. You can even add a tablespoon of honey to the mix for an extra boost of moisture and shine for your strands.
• Step 3: Apply this mask to your hair and let it sit for 25-30 minutes.
• Step 4: Rinse the mask out with some lukewarm water thoroughly.
• Step 5: Follow with your regular hair wash and condition routine.
Aloe Vera Hair Mask
Aloe is a wonder plant. When used for hair care, aloe vera can soothe your scalp from inflammation and keep it healthy and shiny. Since it's gel, it doesn't feel heavy on the scalp, making it perfect for summer. Moreover, it can be whipped up in a jiffy on a busy day. This is one of the best hair masks for summer and can be added to your weekly hair care routine to soothe your hair.
Recipe:
• Step 1: If you have the aloe vera plant, scoop out the gel from the leaf. In case you are using store-bought aloe vera gel, make sure it is organic and devoid of additives.
• Step 2: To the gel, add a tablespoon of honey and give it a good mix. You can even add a drop of your favourite essential oil to it.
• Step 3: Apply the hair mask to your hair and keep it on for 20 minutes before washing it out.
• Step 4: Follow with a conditioner for best results.
Egg and Olive Oil Hair Mask
If your strands need some extra pampering, then this is the hair mask for you. It has the benefits of amino acids and protein, making it the epitome of hydration for thick, dry hair.
Recipe:
• Step 1: Take an egg and separate the whites from the yolk. We only require the yolk for this hair mask.
• Step 2: Whisk the egg yolk with a teaspoon of olive oil until it is combined.
• Step 3: Apply the mask to your hair, focusing mainly on the mid-lengths and ends.
• Step 4: Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes for best results.
• Step 5: Rinse the hair mask out thoroughly, after which, follow with a conditioner.
Hair care is easy when done right. With a little know-how and a summer hair mask that you can make at home, you can achieve and maintain healthy, hydrated locks all year long. Adding Livon Anti Frizz Serum to your hair care routine will also help in keeping your hair frizz-free and smooth. Now isn't that something we all need some extra love and pampering?
