1. Egg + Yogurt Mask (For Strength and Shine)
What it does: Eggs are packed with protein that helps rebuild damaged hair and prevent breakage. Yogurt adds moisture and shine while gently cleansing the scalp.
Ingredients
- 1 egg (use only the yolk for dry hair, whole egg for normal hair)
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
How to use
Beat the egg thoroughly and add yogurt to it while stirring gently until you achieve a smooth paste. Apply the mask on hair that is clean and damp, covering the whole hair from roots to ends. Wear a shower cap and let it sit for 20-25 minutes. Wash your hair with cold water or, if you wish, lukewarm water. After that, take up your shampooing routine as usual.
Pro tip: The mask may have a little egg smell that you can get rid of with 2-3 lavender or rosemary oil drops for a fresh scent!
2. Banana + Honey Mask (For Deep Moisture)
What it does: This combo hydrates dry strands and smooths frizz like a dream.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
