Summer can put a lot of stress on your hair, but you don’t need any fancy products to keep it healthy. Try these simple DIY hair masks suggested by Luca Piattelli, founder of Luca Piattelli Luxury Salon, that you can make using ingredients from your kitchen and keep your hair looking beautiful all season long.
1. Avocado Moisturizing Mask
Avocados contain natural oils that are great for dry or brittle hair. Mash half a ripe avocado with two tablespoons of coconut oil and one tablespoon of honey. Apply this mixture to the ends of your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
2. Banana and honey nourishing mask
Bananas contain vitamins and minerals that help repair damaged hair and provide moisture and shine along with honey. Blend a ripe banana with a tablespoon of honey until smooth and then apply this mixture on clean wet hair and leave it for 20-30 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
3. Aloe vera soothing mask
If you’ve spent a lot of time in the sun, chances are your hair is feeling dry and lifeless at this point. This is where aloe vera comes in – it has cooling properties and is also extremely hydrating, so it’s perfect for post-sun care! Simply squeeze some gel from an aloe vera leaf and apply it directly to your scalp and, if possible, to those thirsty ends; leave it on for about 15-20 minutes and then wash it out with shampoo.
4. Yogurt and lemon juice mask for oily hair
If you’re suffering from greasy hair, a mixture of yogurt and lemon can help restore the natural oils in your scalp. Mix 1/2 cup of plain yogurt and the juice of one lemon together before massaging it into wet hair; let it sit for thirty minutes and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
5. Egg and olive oil mask to strengthen weak hair
Eggs contain a rich amount of protein that strengthens the hair and prevents them from breaking easily, as does olive oil – mix in equal proportions, beat until well blended, then apply this mixture on clean damp hair and leave it for half an hour and then wash it out using cool H20.
6. Coconut milk-based frizzy hair revitalizing mask
Coconut milk is a great natural moisturizer that can be used to control frizz and make your hair shiny. Mix two tablespoons of honey with half a cup of coconut milk and then apply it on clean, wet hair; leave it on for twenty minutes or more before rinsing it off completely with lukewarm water.
7. Refreshing cucumber and mint mask for irritated scalp
If your scalp is swollen in this scorching heat, we have brought some remedies for you. Just apply a cucumber and mint mask. Mix half of the peeled cucumber with a handful of fresh mint until it becomes liquid or soft. Apply the mixture on the scalp and massage gently and then leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before washing it off with cold water.
