I am currently awaiting for some products to be delivered for me to write my hair rave post and my best skincare products post so keep your eyes peeled should be uploaded by next week. I will also be giving some of the items away. No catches just comment on the post when I write it and you'll be entered and it will only be open for 24 hours so that's definitely something to watch out for.
Anyhoo I have been trying out some homemade hair masks and I have now picked my favourite ish three. I've tried my best to pick ones that are good for all hair types. The best thing about the three that I have chosen is they will either be in your cupboard or they are dirt cheap - less than £1. So here are the three that I've tried.......
Egg Whites
- Use 3 egg whites whisk them in a bowl add 4 spoonfuls of water
- I added half a squeezed lemon just to give it a hint of smell
- I made sure my hair was shampoo'd and conditioned
- Apply the egg white mixture onto clean wet hair - it does get messy so do it whilst relaxing in the bath
- Wrap your hair in a towel and leave for about 30 minutes
- Once 30 minutes has passed rinse out (luke warm water), I used conditioner to ensure it was all out
Eggs are protein so when you use it on your hair its for strengthening it up . The protein helps prevent breaking of the hair . Protein is good if you use alot of color or heating tool on your hair . I'd recommend using it if you have quick thick, dry and coloured hair. It's not going to change your hair overnight but it is a saviour if you have run out of your hair mask and its not pay day yet. It left my hair feeling so soft just like I had been to the hairdressers. I'm glad I added the lemon as the smell of eggs makes me feel a bit sick.
Aspirin
- Applied on clean wet hair
- I crushed 5 aspirin tablets in a half a cup of warm water with a few squeezes of shampoo
- Apply all over the head focus on massaging the scalp if you have bad dandruff
- Wrap in a towel for 5-10 minutes so it can settle onto your scalp
- Rinse clean and rewash
The texture of my hair was the same as normal but I noticed that my scalp was less stressed. I will be doing this treatment twice a month as it really did help my scalp.
Olive Oil and Honey
- Put 3 tablespoons of honey with 4 tablespoons of olive oil into a bowl and mix
- Apply to clean wet hair focusing on the ends
- Either wrap hair in towel or put on a shower cap
- Leave for 15 minutes
- Shampoo and rinse well
This made my hair feel amazing! Olive Oil contains vitamin E and anti-oxidants so its a great food for the hair. This treatment isn't for everyone though as it may be heavy for fine hair. It does give a great shine just ensure that you wash it out completely or your hair will become very greasy once dry.
Have a fab hair day
