From the best DIY hair mask for hair growth to the best mask for frizzy hair, there’s a recipe for everyone on this list. Scroll now to get the deets!
Best DIY Hair Mask for Hair Growth: Egg Yolk
Not only does this simple hack restore shine, but it has even been credited with stimulating hair growth. Although all-egg white masks are popular, your hair benefits more from the whole egg, as the yolk contains sulfur and protein (aka it thickens the hair follicle to create serious volume).
- Simply beat an egg yolk until creamy and spread the mixture evenly through your mane.
- Leave it on for 30 minutes and rinse with cold water. (Use cold water, otherwise your strands will be covered in scrambled eggs)
Best DIY Hair Mask for Frizzy Hair: Avocado
FYI, an avocado mask is a game-changing frizz fighter.
- Mash two ripe avocados into a bowl until well blended.
- Massage the mixture into damp hair and top with a shower cap.
- Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes then rinse and wash your hair as usual.
Best DIY Hair Mask for Thick Hair: Olive Oil
For those with thick or processed hair, meet your new BFF: olive oil. This ancient ingredient has been used throughout history as a natural treatment. With emollients like squalene, olive oil turns up your mane’s shine to the max.
- Massage 2 tablespoons of the oil into your scalp and hair.
- Let it soak in for 15-30 minutes.
- Follow the soak with a double shampoo.
Best DIY Hair Mask for Damaged Hair: Coconut Oil
Fight dryness and dullness with the multipurpose oil used for pretty much everything these days. Though be warned, it isn’t for everyone.
- Massage 2-4 tablespoons of liquid virgin coconut oil from your scalp to your ends.
- Once coated, leave the oil in for 15-30 minutes (depending on the level of dryness/damage).
- Shampoo and condition as usual.
- The treatment will leave your locks super moisturized, strong, and dandruff-free. An added bonus? It leaves your hair smelling like heaven.
Best DIY Hair Mask for Thin Hair: Beer
Finally, indulging in beer can be guilt-free. This beverage actually adds fullness and body to your locks because of power-packed ingredients such as B vitamins, protein, sucrose, and biotin.
- Warm up the beer (add a few drops of essential oils to mask the smell, if you’d like).
- Rinse through your hair with warm water.
- Seal in the moisture by using cold water during your final rinse.
