The 4 Best Hair Masks to DIY for Dry Hair

1. Strawberries, egg and olive oil

Hydrated hair is healthy hair, and protein is one of the building blocks for this.

But before you go packing your diet full of steak, hold up a minute, there are better ways to up your hair's protein intake.

In fact, a healthy hair diet should be moderate to low in protein, but more on that here.

One of the best ways to boost your hair's protein is with this hair mask for dry hair.

Egg yolk strengthens your strands while strawberries boost shine and olive oil soften your hair.

To make this hair mask, you'll need

  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Purée the strawberries before adding the other ingredients, then mix them all.

Apply to dry hair and cover with cling wrap.

Leave for 20-30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Keep in mind this mask is extra sticky so it might take some work to get it all out of your hair.

Wash your hair as normal.

2. Banana, Avocado and coconut oil

Look, I know you have a fruit bowl full of overripe bananas, but instead of baking yet another loaf of banana bread, let's get a little more creative.

Bananas don't just boost your mood, but they also help boost hydration.

They're packed full of potassium and natural oils which help soften strands as well as improve elasticity and prevent breakage.

Avocado contains high amounts of vitamin B, which promotes healthy and strong hair growth while coconut oil seals in moisture.

To make this coconut oil and banana hair mask you'll need:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 Tbsp of coconut oil

Mix all ingredients until smooth.

Coat all your hair and leave for 20 minutes.

Rinse out and wash with your regular shampoo and conditioner.

The very same oils and fats that make avo and olive oil great for your insides also make them great for your outsides.

Specifically, your strands.

This DIY hair mask doesn't just repair brittle and broken hair, but it also helps protect your locks from further damage while honey helps them shine.

The ingredients for this at-home hair treatment are:

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 Tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp of honey

Mix all ingredients in a food processor or beat until smooth (if you're a child who doesn't own a blender).

Apply the mask to damp hair focusing mostly on the ends.

Pull your hair into a top knot and cover with a shower cap.

Heat your hair with a blow dryer for 5 minutes to activate the ingredients and leave for 15.
