How to Make an Easy Nourishing Aloe Vera Hair Mask - Treehugger

jembutikal.blogspot.com

This mask is easy to make, but preparation is key. Make sure you have all your tools and ingredients at the ready so you don't get stuck with your hands covered in hair mask while looking for a towel.

This recipe is best for those with hair that's drier, curly, frizzy, or in need of extra moisture. Double the recipe if you have very thick hair or hair longer than the bottom of your shoulder blades. Halve it if your hair is shorter than your earlobes.

Treehugger Tip

This hair mask is going to be a bit messy, and due to the oils, may stain clothing or towels. We recommend that you wear an old T-shirt and use a towel that you don't mind getting splotches on.

1. Prepare Your Ingredients

   Get all your tools and ingredients prepared and measured out. Make sure you're wearing what you want to be in when you apply the mask, as things can get messy.

2. Melt the Coconut Oil

   Use the microwave or put a heat-safe bowl in a pot with an inch of water to create a double-boiler.

   Heat the coconut oil until it is liquid. You don't need it to be hot, just warm. If it gets hot enough to burn your skin, let it cool. Use when it's at about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

   Mix honey into coconut oil so it dissolves in the warm oil.

3. Mash Avocado

   Using a fork, mash the 1/2 avocado in the main bowl you will use to mix the mask. Keep at it until there are few or no lumps of avocado.

4. Mix Ingredients

   Add the liquified coconut oil and honey mixture to the avocado and mix well with the fork. Then, add the aloe vera gel and mix.

5. Apply Mask to Hair

   This hair mask will be very liquid—consistency will be close to a watery conditioner.

   Begin applying to the ends of your hair (you can even dip them into the mask) and work your way up. Apply to your scalp last.

6. Wait for the Mask to Work

   Gently twist your hair up if it's long. Wrap it in a towel and set a timer for 20 or 25 minutes.

   Take advantage of the waiting time and apply a face mask, watch a short comedy, or do something relaxing while your hair mask works.

7. Wash Mask Out and Style

   Using your normal shampoo, give your hair a good wash. If you'd like, you can condition your hair as you normally would, but you probably won't need to. Style as usual.
