DIY Hair masks that are good enough to eat

When your hair is fried and damaged, take time off the junk you’ve been feeding it for some real soul food. It’ll take care of the damage caused by chemicals, heat tools and the sun. Scoop up a homemade mask over the weekend and your hair will love you back no matter the length, texture or cut.

For glossy hair

We already know that eggs can do wonders for your hair, but next time whip up some yolks and add a splash of rum (seriously, it'll make your hair smell like cake). Comb it through wet hair and wash it off after 15 minutes. The rum will remove build-up and eggs will nourish hair. 

For stronger hair

This recipe is so close to our breakfast smoothie; it's only missing the oats. Start by blending an overripe banana till it’s smooth, then mix a spoon of coconut oil and honey. The banana promotes healthy hair while the honey and coconut oil helps hydrate. Scoop it up on wet hair and let it settle for five minutes before washing it off. 

For nourished hair

Everyone has their own version of the classic deep conditioning yogurt mask. But add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to a half-cup of natural yogurt and honey (one spoonful should do) to fix your hair’s pH balance and moisturise it. You can also apply this on dry hair and wash it off with a mild cleanser.
