Is your scalp feeling dryer than normal? Is split ends starting to form? Maybe the heat from straightening your hair every day is catching up to you? I’ve been there! Either way, this DIY Hair Mask for Dry Hair is just what you need in times like these.

I absolutely love this hair mask! It’s easy to make and you more than likely have all the ingredients sitting in your pantry right now.

This mask is great for thick hair, thin hair, long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair, and any type of hair really.

Ingredient Benefits

Fun fact! Did you know that avocado is a fruit and not a vegetable? Avocado is full of vitamins A, D, E, and also contains proteins, amino acids, magnesium, folic acid, copper, and iron.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? There’s a lot of good stuff in there. Fatty acids help to moisturize the scalp which helps with dandruff. Avocado is also known to promote hair growth through its vitamins B and E.

Egg yolk is also known for strengthening hair and promoting growth. The two are a perfect pair! Egg yolk contains biotin. Biotin is widely known for keeping hair and nails healthy.

Honey has emollient and humectant properties making it a great moisturizer that adds shine to your hair. The proteins in milk work to strengthen the hair while calcium promotes growth.

There are many benefits of coconut oil. It’s said to be the best oil to use on your hair because it reduces protein loss that are caused by everyday functions. Such as using heat styling products, liquid styling products, and climate changes.

Using too much coconut oil on the hair can make it become greasy and hard to wash out. Just keep an eye on how much you’re using and your hair will love it!

Ingredients

1 egg
1/2 avocado
1 tbsp honey
1/2 cup milk
1 oz unrefined coconut oil

Directions

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend. Your mixture should become light and fluffy.

Starting with your scalp, apply a good amount all the way down to the roots of your hair. I like to split my hair into sections and go from there.

Leave in your hair for 20 to 30 minutes.

Wash as you normally would in the shower with your favorite shampoo and conditioner.

I love how my hair looks and feels after using this DIY Hair Mask for Dry Hair. My hair loves it too!

I have wavy to curly hair and this mask makes my curls more profound and jumpy. I don’t even have to apply mousse to my hair after the shower like I normally do. It’s that good.

I have definitely noticed a difference in my hair’s strength and appearance after using this DIY Hair Mask for Dry Hair for a little over a month now. I try to use it once every week when my busy schedule allows. Once every two weeks will show benefits as well!

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The shelf life of this mask is one week. Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, the mask is good for one or two uses.
