Silky smooth black hair is a dream for many women. Just like skin care, hair also needs attention and care to look its best. Here are 3 natural hair masks that you can try.
Aloe Vera
Separate the aloe vera gel from the outer layer and use the gel to apply on your hair. Hold a small basin or a large bowl under the aloe leaf, pour a small amount of warm water, and gently squeeze the leaf to release the gel. Massage the gel into your scalp and hair, leaving it on for 20-30 minutes. Rinse with water and then shampoo and condition as usual.
Honey
Honey is a popular ingredient for hair softening. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, all beneficial for hair health. Honey also helps moisturize, soften, and add shine to your hair. Mix 2 teaspoons of honey with 1 cup of warm water. After shampooing, towel-dry your hair. Apply the honey mixture to your hair, focusing on the roots and ends. Gently massage your scalp and hair for 5 minutes. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
Rice Water
Rice water is another natural hair treatment. Collect the water used to rinse rice and let it sit overnight in the fridge or at room temperature. Alternatively, you can use the water for cooking rice. Apply the rice water to your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour. Shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
Banana
Bananas are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, which nourish and improve hair health. Using bananas is an effective way to soften hair at home. Take 1 ripe banana and mash it. Mix it with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of honey. After shampooing, towel-dry your hair and apply the banana mixture, especially to the roots and ends. Gently massage your scalp and hair for 10 minutes. Cover with a shower cap and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and shampoo.
