DIY Mask for Damaged Hair & Split Ends!

Hello cutie~^__^

If you didn't know, my hair has some major damage from a digi perm I did last year...then I recently dyed it..so my hair has lots of damage and is pretty dry, especially the ends of my hair! It was really bad until I tried the egg hair mask a few days ago, but of course a mask that has been used only once isn't going to solve everything - but that would be great wouldn't it! >w<!

So I had to do more research for DIY/homemade treatments for hair~ I found a great idea on all women's stalk! The mask is to treat dry hair and split ends~

Basically the mask calls for:

☆2 tablespoons of honey

☆1 tablespoon of almond oil

☆1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

**double this if you have long hair

Instructions:

☆mix all ingredients in a bowl

☆ apply to damp hair and massage, focusing on the ends, and all damaged parts

☆ let sit for about 30 min (or more) rinse off with shampoo~

Of course this won't perfectly get rid of all your split ends and damaged hair, but it would help^_^

all these products I just bought at the local grocery store ^^

So why does this work?

☆Why Honey?☆

honey is a humectant -it helps to retain moister-, and also an emollient  -it softens and smoothes-. It is also packed full of vitamins and minerals to help your hair look healthy and shiny~! I've also heard it can lighten your hair~ so you can get a healthy dye - lols!

☆WhyAlmond Oil?☆

Almond oil/sweet almond oil can be used to help your hair grow and look shiny too! It is helpful for conditioning your hair and skin. Almond oil is packed with lots of nutrients to help grow strong hair~ it also prevents breakage in your hair! You can even use almond oil by itself by putting a few drops of it into your hands and put it directly on your hair for a shinier look!

☆Why Apple Cider Vinegar?☆

Apple cider vinegar can help a dry scalp and make your hair shine! Apple cider vinegar actually has a lot of beauty benefits like whiter teeth, body detox, good skin, etc.! It balances the pH in your scalp (can do the same for your skin), removes product buildup, treat dandruff, and other awesome things! 

After using the mask, my hair was so shiny! and soft! I also noticed the decrease in damaged hair, I was so happy and surprised! The only thing I didn't like was the apple cider vinegar smell (vinegar scent makes me cringe - bleh!) But that smell went away the next day so it's not a major problem^^

this mask was so great and easy to do, I think I'd definitely do it again!
