Here’s a step by step guide to make your moisturizing hair mask and apply the right and easy way:
- Divide the Avocado into two with a knife. Remove the seed and seed peels left behind, bring out the butter with a spoon, put it into a bowl, add your banana, and mash them together.
- In the same bowl or plate, beat one organic brown egg and add 1 Tbs of raw honey, 1 Tbs of Olive Oil.
- Add Your butter (Yellow Shea Butter, Murumuru Butter, Unrefined African Shea Butter).
- Blend and mix everything until it becomes smooth and even. Not bad if you use your kitchen blender to blend everything.
- Divide your hair into four sections and wet it so it can absorb the masks easily.
- After that, apply the mask on your hair section by section, starting from the roots to the tip, then massage your scalp.
- Tie your hair in a bun or updo style and cover with a plastic shower cap or anything that will add heat to your hair. You can even sit under a hairdryer (with a shower cap on).
- Allow the concoction to sit on your hair for at least 30 minutes.
- The final step is to rinse out.
I will advise you to rinse it out with only water, but if you feel like your hair is not clean enough, feel free to rinse with a gentle shampoo.
How Often to Use This Moisturing Hair Mask
Many people are worried about how often they should use masks on hair because they believe it can be overdone.
And that’s true.
Ideally, it would be best to use a moisturizing hair mask 1-3 times a month. However, certain hair conditions can make you use a mask more than ten times a month, like extensively dry and damaged hair.
Should I Wash Hair Before Applying Hair Mask?
The short is Yes.
It is crucial to wash your hair clean before using any hair mask on your hair. The buildups from products, dirt, sweat, and sebum can be roadblocks to the mask nourishment transfer.
Home-Made Mask vs. Ready Made: Which is Better?
It wouldn’t sound nice if I say one is better than the other. But the difference between the two is obvious.
For example,
The shelf life of a homemade mask and store-bought (manufactured by brand) is very different.
In as much as storage is concerned ready-made mask lasts longer than a homemade mask.
That’s to say that homemade masks can be stored, but not too long compared to store-bought.
Another difference is that, for the store-bought masks, the mixing and calculation works are already done for you.
While on the other hand, you will have to do it yourself and still buy ingredients if you don’t have them available.
From my understanding, the homemade mask’s real benefit is that you enjoy the nourishment of raw and unrefined ingredients.
Manufacturers claim these unrefined ingredients contain impurities, Yes I agree.
But they should also agree with me that these impurities do our hair no harm because they cannot penetrate the hair.
And if you make the hair mask in a clean environment, I don’t think there is a need for fear of impurities.
Notwithstanding, they both work perfectly.
So If you want to save time, opt for a store-bought hair mask.
But if you want to enjoy the magic of raw nutrients.
Then opt-in for the homemade mask.
