Natural Beauty: Do It Yourself

I remember last year, my roommate and I created a concoction out of yogurt, eggs, olive oil, mayonnaise, and whatever else we saw fit in our fridge for an at-home hair mask. It wasn't completely horrible, but we clearly had no idea what we were doing (we didn't even measure things out haha).

Here are some tried and true DIY hair care recipes, enjoy :)

Got split-ends? Try this:

• Combine 1 can coconut milk (it gives hair tons of shine!), 1 mashed avacado, and 1/4 cup honey in a bowl.
• Slather the mixture on dry hair, focusing on split and damaged ends. Top with a plastic shower cap.
• Blast your hair with heat from your blow-dryer for about 5 minutes. Then allow the mask to soak in for an additional 30 minutes.
• Rinse well but don't shampoo! Style as usual.

Dark colored hair? Try this:

Not only does coffee satisfy our much needed caffiene fix, it also intensifies darker shades to make hair really shine!

• Brew any type of plain nonflavored coffee and let it cool.
• Pour enough coffee over dry hair until hair is completely soaked, then comb through.
• Cover your head with a plastic shower cap and let the rinse set for about 20-30 minutes.
• Rinse well then shampoo. Give your hair a final rinse with cold water to maximize shine!

Frizzy hair, meet your match! :

• Mix 1 banana, 1/4 cantaloupe (without the rind), 2 tbsp yogurt, and 1 tbsp olive oil together in a blender.
• Apply mixture to damp unwashed hair, and comb through from roots to ends.
• Allow it to sink in for 15 to 20 minute, then rinse well. Shampoo and condition your hair, style as usual.

Enjoy!
