Natural Hair Mask For Soft, Shiny And Full Hair

Hair suffers the negative effects of the passage of time, weather, stress, poor diet, pollution, etc. To prevent our hair from suffering and becoming rough and dull, we must get into the habit of using a good hair mask.

Discover in this article how you can prepare your own mask to give hair softness, shine and volume.

What ingredients do we choose?

Yolk

Egg yolk is a superfood, as it contains omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, vitamins A, B, D, E and minerals such as iron, phosphorus, magnesium or potassium. For this reason, it is much more nutritious than any chemical hair mask. Its effect on the hair is immediate, as it deeply nourishes it and prevents dryness and split ends.

Apple vinager

Apple cider vinegar is our grandmother’s remedy to keep hair soft and shiny. Many used it as a conditioner after lathering it, as it also helps to close hair fibers and prevent frizz.

In addition, it has a high antibacterial and antioxidant power, which helps us protect the hair from free radicals.

Lemon

Lemon is a citrus fruit that deeply cleanses hair, removes excess sebum and leaves it with a lot of shine and volume. In addition, its continuous application prevents hair loss, combats dandruff and regulates pH.

If the hair is very dry, we do not recommend using lemon juice as the only ingredient because it could increase dehydration. In this hair mask, the combination of ingredients is perfect, since we mix fatty ingredients with other astringents.

Olive oil

Olive oil provides a large amount of antioxidant and protective nutrients to our hair from the roots to the ends. It has a high moisturizing power that maintains the hair’s moisture while providing it with a large amount of essential fatty acids.

The olive oil mask leaves hair very soft and shiny, free from itching or any type of irritation, stimulates growth and revitalizes weak and dull hair.

Lavender essential oil

Lavender essential oil is the special touch of this mask, not only to give it a much more delicious aroma, but also to enhance some properties:

Repairs damaged hair.
It favors growth and prevents the fall.
Regulates sebum in cases of dryness or excess oil.
Prevents split ends.
Fight dandruff.
Plus, it reduces frizz.

Homemade hair mask

Ingredients

The amounts of this mask are for a medium hair. In case of being long or with a lot of hair we will have to double the amounts:

1 raw egg yolk
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (30 ml)
The juice of ½ lemon
3 tablespoons of olive oil (45 ml)
10 drops of lavender essential oil

Elaboration

To prepare the hair mask we will follow the following steps:

First, beat the egg yolk.
Then add the vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil and mix well.
Then add the lavender essential oil and mix well.
If the mixture is too thick we can add a little water.
The mask is ready. We will use it immediately.

App

Apply the mask overnight, just before going to bed so that it can have more effect.

Divide dry hair into parts and apply the mixture to the scalp while gently massaging with the fingertips so that the ingredients penetrate well. This massage is important, as it also helps to activate circulation.
When the entire scalp is impregnated with the mask, apply it along the mane.
Cover the head with plastic wrap to maintain a warm temperature on the head and avoid staining the sheets.
Also put on a towel to keep warm, especially if it is a cold season.
On top of the cushion we can put a towel to avoid staining it.
In the morning, wash your hair normally. If necessary, lather twice to remove the remains of the hair mask.
We will notice the softness immediately, and the shine and volume when we have dry hair.
