I am a huge advocate for deep conditioning treatments and hair masks. Hair masks are very effective in adding moisture, strength, softness, and shine to your hair. They allow for deep penetration of nutrients necessary for hair thickening, hair growth, and nutrition that ultimately results in healthy locks. Some of the best hair thickening products can be made at home. Homemade hair treatments like masks give you control over what you’re putting on your fine locks and your scalp. They also provide a lot of fun, as you can experiment with different natural ingredients like fruits, essential oils, and organic extracts. To improve effectiveness and optimize results, use the following recipes at least once a week.
Thickener and nourishing recipe
Take a ripe banana and mash it to a thick consistency, mix in an egg and blend until smooth, use a hand mixer if possible. Add half a cup of non-alcoholic beer, then a tablespoon of honey and mix for a creamy consistency. Apply the conditioning mask generously, making sure to apply it to all of your hair and scalp. Let it sit in your hair for a few hours and then use a mild shampoo when you’re ready to wash.
Natural protein recipe for thicker hair
Use this all-natural conditioner to bulk up those fine locks by applying plain mayonnaise with a beaten egg. To add some moisture, mix in a little honey and olive oil (about a tablespoon of each). Let it sit on your main for 30 minutes and wash it off with a moisturizing shampoo. Remember that this recipe has a lot of protein that can make hair a bit stiff and hard. It is essential that after shampooing you proceed with a moisturizing conditioner. This ensures that you do not experience dryness that can lead to breakage.
Recipe to remove frizz
Are your braids frizzy? Don’t worry, this recipe is sure to tame those frizzies in no time! To make this frizz-removing mask, take ½ cup of honey, ½ cup of yogurt, and a tablespoon of almond oil. Combine ingredients and massage hair from roots to tips. Let it sit for twenty minutes before washing with a mild shampoo.
Homemade beer and egg mask
Yes, here is another recipe that calls for beer. Why beer? Beer has properties that help to thicken fine hair, give the appearance of fullness with volume and succulence! It also contains proteins that add shine and make hair look healthy! Take an egg and separate the yolk from the white. Using only the yolk, blend with about 50ML of beer, making sure they are mixed very well. Apply to damp hair, cover with a plastic shower cap, wrap the head in a towel and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then shampoo the mixture, rinse well, and proceed with the application of a moisturizing conditioner.
Tip: Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
