HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN HAIR MASK


DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT FOR DRY HAIR

Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp of wheatgerm oil (You can substitute olive oil if you don't have wheatgerm oil)

A few drops of essential oils, such as lavender, rose, sweet orange, or jasmine to make your hair smell good.



Preparation:
Mash all of the ingredients in a bowl or better yet, use a blender.

Shampoo your hair thoroughly, comb it out, and towel-dry.

Apply mask to hair, including the scalp if you want. Or you can just deep condition the ends.

Put hair in a shower cap or wrap it in Saran Wrap and let it sit for about 15 minutes, longer if you prefer.

Rinse mask out in the shower. Place a heavy duty paper towel over the drain to catch the avocado and banana bits.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSE FOR HAIR BUILD-UP

Not only does these products get rid of residue, but vinegar is a natural dandruff fighter. Don't use this recipe if you have colored hair. The acid can strip the color away.

- 2 cups distilled water.
- A spray bottle.

Preparation:
Mix one cup of apple cider vinegar and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Spray on hair after you shampoo and condition. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use more than once or twice a week and do not use on colored hair.
