Hair colour is not just used for hiding grey hair anymore as people are changing the colour of their tresses according to their mood and seasons. However, the process needs a lot of care and attention. Here are a few homemade hair mask recipes that help keep locks strong and shiny.
Avocado plus almond oil
Avocado is densely packed with nutrients and is a super food that good to incorporate into one's diet. This creamy fruit can also be applied on hair to give it extra softness and shine. Since colour treatments can make hair dry and brittle, a nutrient-rich and creamy fruit like avocado can efficiently salvage colour-treated hair. Almond oil is great for hair because it contains Vitamin A and E, in addition to other nutrients. Mixing avocado and almond oil is like giving hair super food.
Eggs plus honey
Eggs are extremely good for hair. The protein-rich eggs help bring lost shine and lustre back to your hair. If hair colour turned hair dry and frizzy, egg masks can help effectively bring back softness. Honey is a great humectant and has over 22 amino acids, 27 minerals and 5,000-plus enzymes. It is also full of anti-oxidants. Mix eggs and honey to bring life back to hair and fight the negative effects of pollution.
Banana plus milk
The combination of banana and milk provides protein, good fats and calcium, among other nutrients. As good as this combination is for the bones, it works wonders for colour-treated hair too.
Olive oil plus honey
Olive oil is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids and is extremely beneficial for hair. Virgin olive oil works great for colour-treated hair. Honey, on the other hand, adds lustre to hair and the amino acids and enzymes it contains help repair damaged hair.
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is rich in fats since it is made mostly of egg yolks and vegetable oil. It can make hair soft and smooth. The smell can be an issue but that can be remedied by adding a drop or two of essential oil, such as lavender, before applying it to hair.
