Salon treatments for maintaining shiny, healthy hair can often come with a hefty price tag, making them inaccessible for some. However, with a bit of research, I’ve uncovered some beauty secrets that allow you to achieve radiant, glistening hair without breaking the bank. If you’re looking to replicate that glossy strand hair look at home, give this Coconut Lavender Hair Mask a try. Not only will your hair look stunning, but it will also smell divine!
What You’ll Need:
- Small glass bowl
- 2 tablespoons of unrefined, virgin coconut oil
- Fresh or dried lavender sprigs (or 2 drops of lavender essential oil)
- Measuring spoons
- Shower cap (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to your glass bowl. Remove the buds and greens from your lavender sprigs and add them to the bowl. If using lavender essential oil, add 2 drops to the mixture.
-
Melt the Ingredients: Place your glass bowl over a saucepan filled with water. Heat over low-medium heat, allowing the coconut oil to melt slowly. Stir occasionally until fully combined. Continue this process for 45 minutes to an hour, then remove from heat.
-
Cool the Mixture: Allow the infused coconut and lavender oil to cool for 10-15 minutes, or until it’s slightly warm to the touch (not hot). If desired, remove the lavender pieces from the mixture.
-
Apply the Mask: Distribute the oil evenly throughout your hair, from roots to tips, ensuring thorough coverage. Massage the oil into your hair until fully saturated. Gather your hair into a bun, cover with a shower cap, and leave it on for as long as possible for a deep conditioning treatment.
Tip: For best results, apply this mask at night and wash your hair in the morning. The longer you leave it in, the more conditioned and shiny your hair will become. If you have dry hair, consider doing this treatment once a week.
