We all love our tresses to be beautiful and shiny. Lot of factors determine the loss of shine and luster of hair like pollution, diet, hair products, hair treatments and so on but that does not mean there is no way out of it...
Read on for a DIY hair mask to bring that shine back to your hair:
You will need:
*The above quantity is for anyone who has medium length hair - increase the quantity based on the length and thickness of your hair.
Method:
Make a fine paste of almonds and cold milk along with rose water in a blender or grinder (the mixture should not be coarse). You can use rose water if you are not comfortable with the smell of milk or if you want the mixture to be more thin. Once the paste is ready add olive oil and mix it. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 mins.
Use a wide-tooth comb and apply the mask from the root to the ends of the hair - similar way we apply hair color. Once you finish applying the mixture - give a 5 min massage for the mask to sink in. Ensure the mask sits for a minimum of 45 mins to an hour. While washing your hair - first wash of your hair with only water and take off any residue left from the mask. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner for hair wash after using this hair mask for better results. Avoid keeping the conditioner on your hair for more than 30 secs to a minute when you are using this procedure to know full benefits of the mask, if you can totally skip conditioner for this wash, all the more better.
Pros:
-Hair becomes shiny and soft
-Inexpensive method
-All natural products
-Less time consuming
-Result oriented
Cons
-Could require help
-Not long term results
-Some may find washing of the hair tedious if almonds are coarse in the mixture
My Take:
I have experimented this DIY couple of times and it has always given me favorable results. It is recommended to try it on a pamper night/day as it requires some time for the whole procedure. The results last for maximum of a month, which is quite good for an inexpensive mask like this.
