DIY Hair Conditioners
If your hair is dry and lacks luster, you can go to the salon and spend $30 to $50 on a conditioning treatment, or you can do it yourself right at home!
"Everybody needs a good conditioning treatment. It's a form of bringing life back to the hair, bringing nutrients back to the hair," says Mario Tort, Owner of Estilo Salon & Spa.
He recommends doing a treatment at least once a week and even making your own!
DRY HAIR CONDITIONING MASK
- 1/4 cup aloe vera gel (to strengthen the hair follicle)
- 1/2 tsp olive oil (to promote moisture in the hair)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (to remove any build up on the hair follicle)
- 6 tsp powdered milk (to promote protein in the hair)
- 1-2 kiwis (to promote vitamin c)
Blend all of the ingredients until smooth. Apply the mixture to dry hair. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse and shampoo as normal.
MOISTURE MASK
- 1 tsp of honey (to promote moisture and add nutrients)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (for moisture)
- 1 egg (for protein, split ends, dry hair)
- 2-4 cantaloupe slices (for vitamin C and shine)
Blend all the ingredients. Apply it to dry hair. Then, wet a towel with hot water, wring it out, and wrap it around the head. Put a shower cap on top and let sit for 15 minutes. Then, rinse, shampoo, and blow dry.
SHINE MASK
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 3-4 medium strawberries
- 3-4 capsules of vitamin E (clipped and squeezed)
Blend all of the ingredients. Apply the shine mask to dry hair. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Then, rinse, shampoo and blow dry.
