DIY Hair Mask - All Natural Hair Mask
I absolutely love being outside; however, all that sun can be really harsh on my hair. Typically we are camping, hiking, backpacking, paddle boarding, etc all summer long so we are constantly in the harsh sun. I learned awhile back, that even though this is awesome, sometimes you have to give your hair a little extra love.
I tried multiple store bought hair masks and man, they just didn’t do what I wanted them to do. I felt like, honestly, they didn’t really do anything. So, I decided to try and make my own. After multiple tests, I created my own DIY hair mask that I am just obsessed with. It leaves my hair happy, soft, bouncy, and all the frizz is gone. It is amazing!
This hair mask has only natural ingredients: Castor Oil, Rosemary, and Coconut oil.
So before we get into how to make the mask and how to use it lets dive into why I chose these three ingredients.
Castor Oil benefits for Hair:
It increases blood flow to the scalp, which promotes healthier hair. Applying castor oil once a month can boost hair growth up to five times the usual rate. It can moisturize a dry, irritated scalp. Castor oil's antibacterial and anti fungal properties can reduce dandruff.
Coconut oil benefits for Hair:
It is deeply moisturising which makes coconut oil a great oil to use to help with damaged hair and it can also help to encourage hair growth.
Rosemary benefits for Hair:
Boosts hair growth
Dandruff
Hair loss
Strengthens hair
Adds shine
Improving scalp health
Rosemary oil massage
Itchy scalp
Rosemary oil stimulates blood circulation
Scalp folliculitis
So, now that we know how amazing all these ingredients are, lets get into how to make this all natural hair mask, how to use it, and how often to apply it.
Save this one so you don’t lose it by. Pin it to Pinterest!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup castor oil
1 dropper full of rosemary

mix together /stir
How to Use the Hair Mask:
Put mixture onto your hair
Ensure full coverage all over your hair
message into scalp for 1 minute
Now that it is on your hair you are going to put your hair in a high bun. The reason for this is that you want to contain your hair as it has A TON of oil on it. You don’t want to get oil all over.
Leave the hair mask on for 30 minutes - 2 hours.
Wash out in the shower as normal. You may need to shampoo twice in order to get all the oil out
Style hair as normal

How often to use this Hair Mask:
During the summer I like to use this hair mask once every two weeks. If you aren’t in the sun much or your hair isn’t getting stressed I would use this once a month.
