Ah, summer! Like many, during the warm summer months, we spend extra time outside enjoying the nice weather. However, the extra time under the summer sun can wreak havoc on your hair. The heat and UV rays can cause your hair to dry out, become brittle, and lose its natural luster.
Today I have 5 easy DIY Recipes for Homemade Hair Treatments. These recipes include ingredients you likely have at home in your kitchen pantry. If you don’t happen to have them, they can be found at most local grocery stores.
Banana & Egg Revitalizing Hair Mask
Blend a banana and one raw egg together. Apply the mask to your hair starting at the scalp and working your way to the ends. Cover your hair with a towel or a shower cap. Allow the mask to soak into your hair for 10 minutes and then wash and condition with your normal products.
Plain Yogurt & Coconut Oil Moisturizing Hair Mask
Combine 2-TBS of plain yogurt with 1-TBS liquid coconut oil. Apply the mixture to your hair from your scalp to the ends. Cover your hair with a towel or shower cap and allow it to soak on your hair for 10 minutes. Then wash and condition your hair as you normally do.
Avocado & Honey Hydrating Hair Mask
Mash a ripe avocado with 1-TBS of honey. Apply the blend to your hair working from the scalp to the ends. Cover your hair with a towel or a shower cap. Allow it to soak on your hair for 10 minutes, then wash and condition with your normal products.
Aloe Vera & Olive Oil Renewing Hair Mask
Blend 2-TBS pure aloe vera with 1-TBS extra-virgin olive oil. Apply the mask to your hair from your scalp through to the ends. Cover your hair with a towel or shower cap and allow it to soak on your hair for 10 minutes. Then wash and condition your hair as you would normally.
Pumpkin & Cinnamon Refreshing Hair Mask
Combine 2-TBS of pumpkin puree with 1-tsp of ground cinnamon. Apply the blend to your hair from the scalp to the ends. Cover your hair with a towel or shower cap. Allow the mask to soak for 10 minutes and then wash and condition your hair as you normally do.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.

All of these sound so interesting. YEARS ago I used beer (I don’t like beer) to rinse my hair. Don’t remember what it did but it made my hair nice.

This is some valuable tips! I had to pin ?
I heard of using Mayonnaise, egg, and honey mixtures on your hair. Not particularly together either. Some of these mixtures sound tasty. The ingredients are reasonably cheap. Thank you for sharing.
I am going to try a couple of these DIY treatments.
