Natural Hair Mask Treatment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons aloe vera gel
- 2 tablespoons organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon carrier oil OR raw organic local honey*
- 24-30 drops desired essential oils**
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together to create the hair treatment mixture.
- Apply the natural hair mask to your head, rubbing it into the scalp well so it penetrates the skin and helps clean away any bacteria or flakes that may be present.
- We find that beginning at the crown of the head, or natural part line, and then working down the head works well. Use a wide-tooth comb to help work it into the scalp well, if needed.
- Cover head with a shower cap or tee-shirt towel and let it soak in for 15-20 minutes or as desired.
- Rinse out and shampoo or condition as normal, although you may not need the same level of conditioner as you typically used before treatment.
Notes
Follow this recipe with my Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse, which balances the hair’s pH and removes any extra product. Then, use organic, unscented conditioner on the ends of your hair. I prefer using a scalp massager to really work the hair mask into the scalp. This may sound funny, but you can also use a Nix lice comb to remove any extra particles from the hair and scalp. To finish your hair care treatment, apply our Hair Regrowth Gel.
*Coconut oil is not recommended because it tends to dry the skin. Jojoba, argan oil, almond oil, or olive oil are the best. Jojoba seems to especially give the hair some extra shine. Honey can have a moisturizing effect as well and often helps to smooth frizzy hair.
**Choose from cedarwood, lavender, lemongrass, tea tree, and rosemary
essential oils. My favorite blend is equal parts peppermint, rosemary, and tea tree.
