This all natural hair mask is deep conditioning and takes only three simple ingredients to make.Use for an at home beauty night weekly and keep your tresses nicely conditioned, the natural way.

For as long as I have been into beauty, I have enjoyed a good beauty night. One where I bust out the treatments and nail polish. I love finding different recipes for homemade products to try that use natural ingredients I have on hand. For me this is nothing new. Even as a teenager I would save recipes found inside my YM magazine to try out at my next beauty night.

I’d be lathered up from head to toe. Walking on my heels waiting for paint to dry on my toes and setting timers for my DIY masks. Nothing beats doing an overall once over to keep things fresh, exfoliated, and healthy. It’s a great form of self-care that helps keep us confident when we are well cared for.

One this is certain you simply can’t have a beauty night without a treatment for your hair. Whether that is just slathering on some coconut oil or making a mask, needless to say, the hair needs that extra TLC.

With all the heating, dying, and shampooing we do, it deserves it. I try so hard to wash my hair only a few times per week, but that is a hard thing to do for a girl like me. I like my hair cleaned and styled every day.

On non-wash days that throwing the hair up in a bun is a Saturday-only move with all the places, I have to be in a week. Although my Natural Dry Shampoo helps on those non-wash days. However, even if you don’t wash much, a lot of the time our hair is dried from just general elements. Swimming during the summertime or having a freshly colored mane can be hard on our hair.

Never one to blow my money on expensive hair treatments. This hydrating hair mask is a wonderful treatment that you can do in as little as 30 minutes or paint on while you clean the house for hours. Filled with powerhouse ingredients that work as a great natural conditioner.

It’s an amazing way to pamper your tresses so they stay shiny and moisturized. The best part is you will need just a few ingredients and roughly ten minutes of your time to whip this one up.

Ingredients

Tools

Double Boiler or (sauce pan with glass bowl over)

Directions

Using a double boiler or a saucepan with a bowl over, combine the olive oil, coconut oil, and beeswax. Allow them to melt together over medium heat. To speed the process along you can opt to add a piece of foil over the bowl if using a bowl with the saucepan.

When it is all melted together, use a heat-protective glove or towel to remove the bowl or double boiler from heat. Have a mason jar or an air-tight storage container ready and pour it into the jar. Allow it to set before using. This takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

How To Use

For best results brush out your hair before applying. It does not matter if you have clean hair or dirty hair as you will need to wash deep conditioner out after anyway. Dip your fingers in and begin rubbing it on your hair. Make sure to spread it to the dry areas. Usually the tips of the hair. Take a large comb and comb it through to ensure the mask is spread throughout your hair.

I like to place a shower cap on to help provide warmth for the ingredients to penetrate the hair follicles and really moisturize the areas of dry hair. Let it sit for 30 minutes or for several hours. When ready to rinse off, simply wash and condition your hair as usual. You may need to wash the hair twice to fully remove the mask. Use warm water as cold water might take longer to rinse out the conditioner completely.

How To Store

Store your all natural hair mask in a mason jar or any air-tight container with a lid. Since it is made with oils keep it in a cool dry place. Dark. if possible. A bathroom cabinet or hall closet works well. This hair mask will last up to 6 months if stored properly. If you find it hardens you can warm it up in a microwave for several seconds or by using a sauce pan with a little water and placing the jar in it for a few seconds to help soften it.

Why Use a Hair Mask

Many times over we think that our shampoo and conditioning routine is enough to keep our hair nourished. But when we consider the amount of wear and tear our hair goes through daily, we likely need a good hair mask to help keep it healthy. Color treating, curling, straightening, brushing incorrectly, and even some products can be damaging to our hair.

A deep conditioner is vital to avoid hair issues like brittle hair or dull hair that has lost its luster. Using a deep conditioning hair mask a least once a week can help revive the hair and restore its natural shine. This recipe is enough for several natural hair masks and is a great addition to a proper hair care routine.

Handmade Gifts

I love creating little handmade gifts with my natural beauty recipes. Not only can you have them readily available to give out when needed, people love receiving something homemade. This all natural hair mask particularly makes a great handmade gift because it is one of the best diy hair masks that works for so many different hair needs. From color-treated hair, to curly hair and those with a dry scalp. Anyone who receives a jar is sure to love it.

To package it up in style, place it in a mason jar with a cute tag and twine. This creates a sweet handmade beauty gift and the jar is usable too. For a more elaborate gift add it to a spa-like basket with this Grapefruit Sugar Scrub and this DIY Natural Lip Balm. Or create a theme around your gift. Add a brush, bobby pins, a clip, and this dry shampoo for a hair care basket.

DIY Natural Beauty

There are so many benefits to making your own beauty products at home other than of course, having the actual product to use. Firstly, the cost savings is extraordinary. Who knew that having a few key ingredients on hand can render you almost able to make any sort of beauty product you could need? Certainly, not me. In the beginning it took a lot of learning and trials before finding just what works. And probably more importantly, what does not. Beeswax, coconut oil and olive oil are staples in the homemade natural beauty product world.

So having these will be beneficial for other beauty recipes down the road. Not just that but also not having to buy natural products which tend to cost even more than regular products. So you get the savings and the best quality natural products you can think to make for yourself. We all know that there are a ton of chemicals, toxins and artificial ingredients used in every day beauty products. Making your own allows you to control exactly what you put on your skin, hair or body and that feels pretty darn empowering.
