When it comes to taking care of your skin and hair, natural ingredients are the way to go. We can choose the most suitable ones for our type of skin and hair while avoiding components harmful to our health such as paraben, sulfate, or silicone.

15 recipes for natural and homemade masks

In the following slides, we'll give you some suggestions for natural and homemade masks. If you're not sure whether you're allergic to some of their ingredients, try a little bit of the mask on your hand before applying it to your head.

Coconut oil hair mask

Do you have dry and damaged hair? The coconut oil mask will deeply nourish it and make it softer and shinier than ever. Opt for virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil.

 

First, warm the coconut oil

This type of oil tends to solidify, so it is necessary to warm your jar of coconut oil before using it. You can just hold it in hot water, for example.

Hair oil bath

Once your oil is in its liquid form, you can apply it in a hair oil bath. Massage your scalp, strands, and hair ends with the liquid coconut oil. It's recommended to use virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil.

 

Leave it on as long as possible

Leave it on for about thirty minutes, or ideally overnight with a towel. Finally, rinse and wash your hair. You may need to wash your hair twice to get it all out.

Banana hair mask

The banana mask has nourishing and repairing benefits. It makes the hair more supple and stimulates its growth.

Mix banana with oil

Mash a very ripe banana, and mix it with a tablespoon of vegetable oil (such as olive oil). Apply the paste to damp hair, section by section, and leave it on for thirty minutes. Rinse your hair and wash it.

Hair mask with egg yolks

Eggs are full of vitamins, minerals, and good fats, which makes them an excellent beauty product for skin and hair. Egg yolks will nourish your hair, strengthen it, and give it shine.

This mask is recommended for dry and damaged hair

Beat one or two egg yolks (depending on your hair length) and mix them with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Apply the mix to your hair from root to tip and section by section. Then, leave it on for about thirty minutes. Finally, rinse and wash with shampoo.

Avocado oil hair mask

Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, avocado oil nourishes our hair fibers in depth. It is a great ally if you have dry and brittle hair. This natural ingredient will also strengthen your roots thanks to its vitamin D, thus stimulating hair growth.

Avocado oil

Choose an avocado oil, preferably one that's 100% pure and organic. Apply the oil on dry or damp hair, from root to tip. Leave it on for at least an hour and ideally overnight. Finally, rinse and wash your hair several times.

Hair mask with yogurt and honey

Yogurt fights dandruff, moisturizes the scalp, and eliminates dead cells that accumulate in the hair. Honey also has moisturizing properties, stimulates hair growth, and makes it softer and shiny.

 

A perfect combo to make a hair mask!

Mix two tablespoons of honey and half a glass of natural yogurt until you obtain a homogeneous texture. Apply it to damp hair, from root to tip. Wait twenty minutes before rinsing and washing your hair.

Castor oil hair mask

Castor oil is well known for boosting hair growth and limiting hair loss. It strengthens all hair types, whether fine or thick, straight or curly.

Castor oil mixed with another vegetable oil

Mix castor oil with another vegetable oil, such as sweet almond oil, in equal quantities. Apply the mask to damp hair, strand by strand, working well from the scalp. Leave the mask on for thirty minutes, or ideally overnight, before rinsing and washing your hair several times.

Green clay hair mask

If your hair tends to be oily, this green clay mask is for you. Thanks to its absorbent power, green clay regulates sebum production (the oily, waxy substance your skin produces to protect itself) and removes impurities from the hair.

Green clay with warm water

To use it in a homemade hair mask, mix four tablespoons of powdered green clay in a bowl with warm water until obtaining a creamy paste. You can add ten drops of essential tea tree oil (unless contraindicated) or aspic lavender.

Great for oily hair

Apply the mixture to dry hair, from root to tip, and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and wash the hair. You'll see it helps regulate the production of grease on your head!
