We’ve already spoken about how moisturising coconut oil is and how much good it can do for you and your hair. \u00a0But some people may be lost:\u00a0how\u00a0<\/em>are you meant to use these products to do you good? \u00a0Well, I’m here to help you: here are the 8 best DIY coconut oil hair masks to make your hair glow.<\/p>\n

1. Keep it simple<\/h2>\n

So, the best place to start is probably just with plain coconut oil. \u00a0It can be put on your hair overnight and washed off in the morning for an extra element of moisture for your hair. \u00a0Not only is this the easiest, cheapest and quickest hair mask. \u00a0It may not be quite as amazing as other masks with extra ingredients, but it will, undoubtedly, leave your hair with a soft touch and blinding shine.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Sweeten it up<\/h2>\n

Honey is used in a lot of hair mask recipes as it is, but why not mix the two together? \u00a0Mix it together on a warming plate until soft, chuck it on your hair and leave it for 15-20 minutes before washing out. \u00a0For more info about what honey does for the hair: it has antioxidant properties, strengthens the hair follicles, and helps to keep moisture in your hair.<\/p>\n

3. For dry and damaged hair<\/h2>\n

Whisk an egg, mix in half a mashed avocado and then a couple of spoons of coconut oil. \u00a0As usual, leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off. \u00a0Avocados are full of vitamins B and E, which help with hair growth and repairing scalp damage, which is why they work so well here.<\/p>\n

4. Fruity mix<\/h2>\n

Mix bananas, honey and coconut oil together for a once a week hair mask. \u00a0If anyone is wondering why the banana is good for this recipe, bananas help reduce dandruff, promotes hair elasticity and smoothness.<\/p>\n

\n

5. 2 benefits in one<\/h2>\n

Almost everyone knows that argan oil is\u00a0great<\/em> for our hair, I use it about twice a week to help prevent my hair from getting dry. \u00a0So why not mix the two together? \u00a0Heat up the coconut oil slightly so it softens and then mix in a couple of spoons of argan oil, massage onto the scalp and voila! \u00a0Once washed off your hair will be soft and silky once more.<\/p>\n

6. Cool it down<\/h2>\n

Add aloe vera gel to the coconut oil as it helps to calm down inflamed skin and scalp infections. \u00a0Leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash off. \u00a0To make it easier to wash off, also make sure you use a shower cap when it’s on your hair to prevent it from drying out. \u00a0If anyone is wondering what to do with all the leftover aloe vera gel, there are so many benefits online, but to name a few: after-sun, insect bites and cooking burns.<\/p>\n

7. Citrus Fresh<\/h2>\n

Lemon juice and nourish the scalp and also cleans it (see all of the cleaning tutorials which use lemon as the wonder ingredient). \u00a0Mix the juice of half a lemon into the coconut oil and place onto your hair for a dandruff wonder cure.<\/p>\n

8. Oil times 2<\/h2>\n

Mix some vitamin E oil into the coconut oil to get all the benefits with none of the recipe makings. \u00a0Vitamin E oil will improve hair strength alongside the coconut oil which will hydrate and reduce fizziness in hair.<\/p>\n
