Time to queue Gossip Girl on Netflix because we have 7 Hair Masks that will get your Mane Ready for Summer.
Remember that we are trying to metaphorically embarque the journey of healthy hair; now that we've figured out the hair tie~ AKA TIY (see what we did there? ). Now it's time to get to show your hair some love.
Oily Hair
Egg, lemon & coconut milk
Oily hair can be a real pain, maybe your arch nemesis but a hair mask can help. Eggs will provide extra shine to your hair. They are rich in vitamins and proteins. Lemons are great for absorbing excess oil built up on the scalp. Here is a great hair mask for my ladies with a little extra moisture.
Optional: Coconut milk is a great additive. It will act as a light natural moisturizer.
What you'll need:
- 1 egg (egg white)
- ½ lemon
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut milk
Directions
- Crack open egg (make sure to only use the egg white)
- Mix the egg white
