Well ladies I know I have been away quite some time and I apologize. For today's post I will be talking about all things beauty and how better but to talk about HAIR! Whether is putting dye on it, cutting it or just plain treating it. I am far from being perfect and that comes along with my dry hair lately. It might have to do with not getting a trim but I also have not been paying attention to my poor dry hair at least the ends. This post will give you ideas of a couple of hair masks that you can do in your kitchen.
Brittle Hair
Natural ingredients that are protein-rich are eggs and mayonnaise. They also give you an amazing shine and beats all those fancy hair and deep conditioner from the store.
Fine Hair
All you need is bananas, eggs and a tad bit of olive oil. Bananas are one of the most natural ingredients for thinning hair and the eggs have proteins that will give your hair strength, volume and shine along with the olive oil.
Dry Dull Hair
We all use this mask from time to time just for that pick me up. All you will need is a couple of more ingredients but is all natural if you're into that and will leave your hair feeling soft and shiny. I actually altered this recipe a couple of times in one of my past posts HERE depending on my mood and pantry.
♥ 1/2 avocado
♥ 1/4 cup mayonnaise
♥ 1 tbsp coconut oil
♥ 1 tbsp honey
Oily Hair
If you have an oily scalp like myself sometimes you will need to use this hair mask instead of a more moisturizing rich hair mask and this one will do the trick.
♥ 5 tbsp plain yogurt
♥ 1 tbsp of baking soda
♥ 1 tbsp lemon juice
I have fine hair and the ingredients to try the mask for it. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI have both fine and oily and these to me are way better than those expensive hair masks out there
DeleteGreat ingredients I would have never thought to use baking soda the others I have heard of mixed with other stuff. Stopping over from SITS
ReplyDeleteBaking soda was not something I thought of right away but once I used it, it worked great
Deletegreat tips and healthy products love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I'm going to do the oily hair mask this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI definitely do recommend it, it has helped my oily hair
DeleteThanks for the tips. I have dry dull hair. The only problem I see is that I love avocados. Will one ever make it into a hair recipe? Maybe not.
ReplyDeleteMy mother actually used to this specific hair mask as a little girl and slather it all over and has been working ever since
DeleteI am going to try this for my daughter! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it
DeleteHonestly? I just stopped washing my hair and now it feels and looks awesome all the time! I wash it about once a week and just rinse it good in between. It took a few weeks to get used to, but now it has shine and body that it never had before!
ReplyDelete#SITSblogging
I actually wash my hair every other day or even every three days and has bounce just like you say
DeleteI hate using store bought products on my hair and skin and always prefer homemade solutions instead. I can't wait to try these hair masks, as I feel like my hair has been needing a little TLC!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I was able to help. Thanks for stopping by
DeleteMy hair is dead, so brittle. I'm going to have to try eggs.
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds, smells and the consistency is nasty but HEY its all natural and is in your fridge
DeleteMy hair's a mess. Thanks for these recipes! #SITSblogging
ReplyDeleteGlad I can help
DeleteI can't wait to try these. PS - I love the monochromatic color scheme on your blog.
ReplyDelete{stopping by from SITS}
Why thank you!
DeleteI love a good DIY beauty recipe. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed my tips :)
DeleteOh my gosh, I love this. I need them all ASAP. Can't wait to try them out!
ReplyDeletehaha that;s my exact feeling
DeleteI don't use hair masks since I have fine, oily hair and they usually make my hair limp. I'll have to try it using real ingredients, who knows maybe that will work.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I have extremely oily scalp and thin hair too but these do help
DeleteThese are all great! I'm bookmarking and printing out this post for further reference. Cannot wait to try them out! Excited to be part of your SITS commenting tribe! Look forward to more!
ReplyDeleteThese sound really good, A-Hearts! Definitely worth giving a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteWith this crazy winter weather, my hair could use some loving care! Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteWell by the looks of it I think we ALL are going to use some TLC to our hair
DeleteWinter certainly is harsh on hair and skin for sure! Thanks for the recipes. I will be testing them out.
ReplyDeleteI know right! People might think its only harsh on the face or body but our hair needs some TLC too
Deletewow I totally love the idea that I can do this with things in the fridge!! I have fine hair and always worry about putting to much on it, but i'll give this a try!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry I have both oily and fine hair but these are a great way to moisturize your hair and using only things we already own
DeleteI think I'll have to give this a try. I have everything I need on hand. It can't hurt any!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct
DeleteWell, I need mayonaise, but I think I would throw up if I had to put that on my hair. YUCK!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me is not all flowers when you apply it but mayonnaise has all the nutrients that your hair needs
DeleteFabulous ideas! I would much rather use natural products I have around the house on my hair. My dull and frizzy hair could definately use a pick-me-up! #SITSBlogging.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you try it and let me know how it works out
Deletethanks for the tips. I love that they involve things most people have around the house and they're NOT expensive. wonderful resource!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me I'm all for trying new things but natural always is BETTER
DeleteThank you so much for the tips, I just love the natural homemade hair masks!
ReplyDelete#SITSBlogging
Thank you and thanks for stopping by
DeleteThese masks sound great!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteBecause this winter is so freaking harsh, my hair is dry (like my skin), so that hair mask might be the cure it needs. #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to some products I do like using drugstore and so forth but sometimes natural is better. I even use it for scrubs. not these products but natural scrubs
DeleteMy hair is so dry this winter as well - I need to give it some love and maybe a mask would help it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNo problem
DeleteThis is awesome and just what I needed because my hair has become so dry this winter -- it's ridiculous! Thank you so much for sharing this! #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteMe and you both need some upcoming TLC
DeleteThe mask that calls for avocados and mayonnaise looks like the perfect fit for my hair. Jotting it down and making notes now!
ReplyDeleteThat makes me happy, hope I was able to help :)
DeleteSuch great ideas! Thanks for sharing! #SITSblogging
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI have never heard of a hair mask, sounds fabulous though!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from SITS Comment Love Tribe!
They're great
DeleteI've never tried this, but I could use it with all the damage winter's done to my hair.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me it helps
DeleteI have never tried a natural treatment like this before, I might have to. Stopping by from #Sitsblogging
ReplyDeleteWell I am glad you found some tips from visiting my page. Thanks
DeleteHow long do they have to stay on the hair? I love using homemade beauty treatments. Thanks for sharing! #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteI usually do it for 30 minutes but the longer the better, but I do notice that when I use the mayonnaise mask my hair tends to retain the smell
DeleteThese are really interesting. I have a lot of friends that like to try natural hair "remedies", but I've kind of shied away from them myself. Putting food in my hair just seems...well...lol. But I might give the oily hair treatment a go.
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds odd, but some people even make their own scrubs like myself and its not as odd as you may think. Believe it or not natural products are better for us internally and externally
DeleteThat's informative, and making me hungry,,,it's a two-fer! hehehehe (Yep...another one of those #SITSBlogging)
ReplyDeletehaha good one
DeleteI should try the one for fine hair! I wouldn't be mad if my hair smelled like bananas either. #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling, we all sometimes pay for all those good smell shampoos and products why not use the natural stuff ;)
Deletethis was on my list of things to discover so I'm glad I found this. thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to read more
#sitsblogging
Thank you
DeleteI love treating my hair to a mask every once in awhile. I really need to do it more often though. Next time, I'll try one of these!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me I am not as good of doing them weekly but I try!
DeleteThank you for the DIY hair masks! I definitely need these.

DeleteI definitely need to try the mask for dry, dull hair. Think I'll do that tomorrow. Thank you for sharing!

No, thank you for stopping by :)
DeleteMy hair is hating winter. I didn't realize how easy it could be to make a mask. Thanks!! #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteHope I made it easy to understand :)
DeleteOh how fun to do with the girls! I'm excited to try them out! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this post. I have brittle hair, come to think of it, I believe my grandma used to put mayo on it although I never really understood why. I don't know how I feel about having egg on my head but I suppose it's just like easter! (We do a real egg hunt!). Have an awesome week! #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteI have oily hair, so I will defiantly be trying that last hair mask! :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda // Happily Ever After
I love that you can find all these ingredients in the kitchen!! #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS. Hair is my nemesis. cut it off, grow it out...vicious cycle! Your blog is beautiful! #SITSblogging.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try some of these! Love that I have most ingredients for them
ReplyDeleteI love this! Avacado has so many great health and healing properties to it. Can't wait to try it! #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteGoing to try this, this weekend. My hair is so dry from the nasty winter. #SITsblogging
ReplyDeleteLove the natural products and that the ingredients are items we might already have in our homes.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
