Five Hair Masks You'll Need, If Your Tresses Have Been Crying Out for Moisture

Your fast paced life, stress levels, irregular eating habits, pollution and chemical hair styling can turn your hair dry as well as lifeless. Dry hair is very weak and vulnerable to damage and frizz. 

Five hair masks for moisturized, healthy and smooth tresses

1. Coconut and olive oil hair mask

Coconut oil is one of the few oils that can actually get absorbed by hair strands, which makes it a nourishing hair mask ingredient. You just need to mix two parts of coconut oil with one part of olive oil and warm it a bit. Apply the mixture on the scalp as well as the hair strands and cover it with a shower cap. Leave it for 30 to 40 minutes after which rinse with water. Follow it up with your regular shampooing and conditioning routine. 

2. Banana hair mask

Banana is one of the best things that you can apply to your hair. It contains potassium that is great for strengthening hair and repairing damaged tresses. You can mix various ingredients with a ripe banana to make a hair mask including honey, glycerin, almond oil, olive oil, a little bit of lemon and honey. Blend the ingredients properly in a grinder, making sure that you do no miss out on any of the banana chunks. Once you have a smooth and consistent paste, apply the mask on damp hair and let it sit for 30 to 40 minutes, preferably under a shower cap. Rinse with water and follow with shampoo and deep hair conditioner. 

3. Avocado hair mask

Avocado is a great natural hair conditioner and moisturizer. Add one egg yolk to half an avocado and blend properly in a grinder. Apply on scalp as well as hair strands and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse and follow with shampoo and conditioner. 

4. Rum and egg yolk hair mask

Both rum and egg yolk are great for moisturizing your hair and making it shiny. Just mix 2 tablespoons of rum with one egg yolk. Add a little olive oil and grapeseed oil in it to make a highly moisturizing natural conditioner for hair. Mix all the ingredients properly and apply liberally on the scalp and hair. Cover your head with a wet and warm towel for 15 to 20 minutes and rinse the hair. Avoid shampooing on the same day if you can. 

5. Yoghurt Mask

Yoghurt is a moisturizing and scalp-cooling agent that works wonders for dry hair. You do not even need to add other ingredients to it before applying it to your hair and scalp. If you wish you can add a few drops of lemon and almond oil. Let the mask stay on your hair for 30 to 40 minutes and rinse followed by shampoo and conditioner. 

Moisturizing your hair doesn't need to be an expensive affair. Just open your refrigerator and voila!
