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 three ingredients: coconut oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Both coconut oil and honey are known for their moisturizing and restorative properties.

Coconut oil is great for hair. It improves scalp health, supports hair growth, and adds volume and shine. Honey is a powerful moisturizer that draws moisture from the air, which is especially helpful if your hair is dry from using flat irons or blow drying. Apple cider vinegar removes residue from hair and acts as a natural detangler. If you’re looking for a natural way to soften your hair or repair styling damage, this coconut oil hair mask is perfect!

You’ll need:
– 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil
– 1 tablespoon of local honey
– 1 tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar

These amounts can vary depending on your hair’s length or thickness. I have very thick hair, and this amount was more than enough to cover my hair 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 the ingredients well. If it separates a bit, that’s okay. Just give it a swirl or two as you apply it to ensure an even mixture.

Step 3:
The best way to apply the mask is by using a hair coloring brush or a natural pastry brush. Divide your hair into four equal parts, then part each section into half-inch sections. Start applying the mask from the roots to the tips. Once a section is done, 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 with a mild, natural shampoo. I didn’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.

The next time your hair feels dull or dry, head to your kitchen and whip up this easy coconut oil hair mask.
