You don’t need to spend a fortune on fancy conditioners and hair treatments. The solution for dry hair is right in your kitchen. This simple hair mask uses just three ingredients: coconut oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Both coconut oil and honey are great for moisturizing and repairing hair.
Coconut oil is fantastic for your hair. It helps improve scalp health, supports hair growth, and adds volume and shine. Honey is a strong humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air, which is perfect if your hair is dry from using flat irons or blow drying, or if you have a dry scalp. Apple cider vinegar helps remove residue from your hair and works as a natural detangler. If you want a natural way to soften your hair or fix styling damage, this coconut oil hair mask is perfect!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 tablespoons of Organic Coconut Oil
– 1 tablespoon of Local Honey
– 1 tablespoon of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
Adjust these amounts based on the length and thickness of your hair. For thick hair, this amount should be enough to cover from roots to tips.
Step 1:
Melt the coconut oil until it’s liquid. Add the honey to the melted coconut oil. If your home is cool, you might need to warm the honey in the microwave for a few seconds. Then, add the apple cider vinegar.
Step 2:
Mix everything well. If it separates a bit, that’s okay. Just give it a quick stir as you apply it to make sure you get an even mix of each ingredient.
Step 3:
The best way to apply the mask is with a hair coloring brush or a natural pastry brush. Divide your hair into four equal parts, then section your hair in half-inch sections. Apply the mask starting at the roots and work your way to the tips. After each section, massage your hair with your fingertips to really work it in. Pile your hair into a bun and let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then wash it out with a mild, natural shampoo. You probably won’t need an additional conditioner.
If your hair is very dry, leave the mask on longer. For even better results, wrap your hair in a towel or use a shower cap and leave the mask on for an hour or more before rinsing. Style as usual.
Next time your hair feels dull or dry, head to your kitchen and make this easy coconut oil hair mask.
