DIY Hair Masks for Special Occasions …or Even Everyday!

DIY Hair Masks for Special Occasions

A special occasion doesn’t mean you need to spend lots of cash to look fabulous. Need a hair treatment that will bring the radiance back to your locks? Want to turn a few heads when you make an entrance? Well, believe it or not, a visit to your kitchen and bath will give you some of the best hair treatment and deep-conditioning hair masks that you’ll ever experience.

The protein in the hair masks will strengthen hair follicles. The vitamins, minerals and fatty acids also help stop hair loss and add suppleness and luster to your hair. Try these hair masks and the added bonus: you don’t have to leave home have amazing hair!

Honey Bunch Protein Hair Mask for All Hair Types

Just add the following to your favorite conditioner. (I know that it’s Imbue™ Natural Conditioner*.)

2-3 tablespoons of honey, 1-2 whole eggs, 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, almond oil or your favorite oil. Mix with enough conditioner to make a thick pudding-like mask (not runny). If you desire it to be even thicker, then add a couple tablespoons of yogurt and mix well.

Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles.

Hair Mask to Moisturize Dry Hair

Make a paste by mixing:

2 egg yolks, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. almond oil, 2 tsp. brandy, 2 tbsp. each of Amla, Reetha and Shikakai powder. Enough water to make paste

Gently part hair and massage mixture on the scalp, first, then throughout hair. Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for 30 minutes. Shampoo with Imbue™ Natural Shampoo. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles. Repeat it for 2-3 times a week, when needed.

Oily-Honey Hair Mask for Extra-Dry, Damaged Hair

Mix a teaspoon of each: olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and 1 tablespoon of honey.

Massage and smooth gently into the scalp. Do NOT comb hair with honey in it, USE YOUR HANDS to smooth.
Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for 20 minutes. Shampoo with Imbue™ Natural Shampoo or Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles. Repeat this 3-4 times a week. This treatment will strengthen hair follicle, reconstruct, moisturize, soften hair and remove frizz.

5 Natural Hair Care Oil Treatments from Your Kitchen

From the Kitchen: Natural Hair Care Oil Treatments

Did you know that natural herbal oils you probably already use for skin care are known to help protect, strengthen, regrow hair and eliminate dandruff? They’re easy to apply, and most can be found right on your kitchen pantry shelves. When used along with other natural botanical powders, they can make a real difference in your rate of hair growth in just a few short months. So, use these helpful oils for natural hair care maintenance.

Almond Oil contains fatty acids that are essential in natural hair care maintenance. It helps to grow and strengthen hair, while adding suppleness to healthy hair. Try a simple scalp massage with about a tablespoon of almond oil. Continue the gentle massage to ends of hair; let rest for about 15 minutes, then use cool water and rinse hair. Follow with an all natural shampoo powder. Depending on condition of hair, repeat this treatment once or twice a week.

Black Cumin Oil (Black Seed Oil):

Black Cumin Seeds are believed to be one of the most powerful healing natural medicines available to mankind; widely used by people belonging to India, Egypt and countries in Middle East since ancient times. Though very tiny in nature, the seeds have about 100 chemical compounds (including vitamins, proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates, minerals, etc) and some are not yet identified.

Black Cumin seeds are different from Cumin seeds (botanical name is Cuminum cyminum), although both look similar. However, Black Cumin seeds are black in colour unlike cumin seeds.The oil extracted from the seeds is called as Black Cumin oil. The other names include black seed oil or black oil.

Hair growth treatment: After bathing, mix a small quantity of black seed oil and olive oil and apply it to the scalp (or the bald portion of your head). This is known to promote hair growth.

Clove Oil

Clove has been used in ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations for its rich in minerals such as calcium, hydrochloric acid, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and vitamin A and vitamin C. Clove oil is antiseptic and one of the strongest natural antioxidants ever tested. Eugenol is the active ingredient in clove essential oil that causes stimulation of blood circulation, which makes it one of the best support for hair growth stimulation. Please be extremely careful when applying this very strong oil, as it must be diluted before application.

Virgin Coconut Oil

Virgin coconut oil is unadulterated and free of chemical or other additives. Virgin Coconut oil is an excellent pre-shampoo treatment because it not only coats the hair, it penetrates the hair shaft.

Coconut oil has been used to promote hair growth, literally, for centuries. Protein loss is reduced and hair is protected from drying and breaking due to the medium chain triglycerides (MCT) contain within coconut oil. This is also a substance that is contained in sebum (an oily substance secreted from the sebaceous glands that keep the scalp moist). The scalp contains ‘friendly’ bacteria that break down the MCT into free fatty acids. This is what provides protection against scalp problems such as dandruff and head lice. The oil also adds a radiant sheen to the hair.

Hair Growth TIP: Boil together some fresh curry leaves and coconut oil just until black residue forms (don’t fry leaves; gently boil). Turn off the heat and harvest the black residue. When cool enough, apply to your hair. Use once a week (or twice a week for damaged hair). This is an ancient Indian recipe used to help hair grow faster and reduce gray hair.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Extra virgin olive oil improves hair health. Being rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, olive oil nourishes the hair. It is a natural conditioner and great for healthy hair shine. The emollient contained within olive oil improves hair strength, thus enabling it to grow by, stopping hair fall and breakage. Hair elasticity also increases. An olive oil scalp massage is a wonderful stress reducer.

Why Extra-Virgin or Virgin Olive Oil for Hair?

Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) comes from virgin olive oil production only, contains no more than 0.8% acidity (smell is not as pungent). Virgin olive oil comes from virgin oil production only, has acidity of less than 2.

Note: Oils labeled as “Pure Olive Oil” or “Olive Oil” are of poor quality; usually a blend of refined and virgin production oil. Per Wikipedia: “Over 50% of the oil produced in the Mediterranean area is of such poor quality that it must be refined … Note that no solvents have been used to extract the oil, but it has been refined with the use of charcoal and other chemical and physical filters.”

The next time you need a hot oil treatment for natural hair care, look no further than your kitchen pantry for radiant, healthy hair.

Baking Soda, Olive Oil and More for Scalp Care

Olive Oil, Baking Soda, Amla Powder Helps Prevent Scalp Damage

Scalp damage can be caused by a variety of practices such as staying out in the sun too long, using excessive heated appliances, tight rollers or even using the wrong kind of brush bristle. However, one of the most overlooked ways to avoid scalp damage is simple to have a healthy hair maintenance routine: daily, weekly and monthly. Suggestions:

Daily Hair Maintenance

Believe it or not, eating a balanced diet each day with lots of water aids in growing healthy hair and preventing scalp damage. Get your blood circulating with fresh green veggies and raw fruit. Avoid the sun’s harmful rays as much as possible by wearing a scarf, comfortable hat or use an umbrella.
Moisturize dry hair daily. Protect your hair at night by using a satin cap or sleep on satin pillows.

Light Daily Maintenance: In the palms of your hands, add just a few drops of olive oil. Run your hands through your hair to control frizz. You can apply this on dry or damp hair.

Use a conditioner on your hair once or twice a week. Imbue Natural Conditioner is filled with ingredient that really benefit the scalp and hair.

Weekly Hair Maintenance

Shampoo once weekly with an all-natural shampoo filled with ancient botanicals that promote a healthy scalp condition and hair growth. Lustrous Henna Shampoo Powder is an excellent choice. Imbue Natural Shampoo is also extremely nourishing to the follicles.

For exceptionally dry hair, try a hot oil treatment using coconut, almond or extra-virgin olive oil. Castor oil is also beneficial but heavy on the hair, so use on the scalp only. Oils can even be mixed and massaged into the scalp. Cover hair with plastic cap and leave on overnight. You can also use a hot, moist towel until the towel cools (about twenty minutes).

Monthly Hair Maintenance

The scalp should be gently cleansed of debris from hair treatments and products at least once monthly. A good natural scalp scrub needs to be applied with a GENTLE touch. Too harsh or heavy-handed of a massage can cause harm to the scalp by simply being too abrasive. So cleanse your hair and scalp naturally with a very gentle touch.

Baking soda is a natural cleanser. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil adds moisture and controls frizz. Pure Amla Powder is a cleansing agent for the hair and scalp; Amla Powder also protects from dandruff, also helps prevent premature graying. Amla Powder stimulates growth of hair on the scalp and strengthens the hair roots. Tea tree oil is an effective antifungal and antiseptic.

Baking Soda Scalp and Hair Cleanse

½ cup of Baking Soda
2-3 tablespoons of Pure Amla Powder
¼ cup of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
5 drops of Tea Tree Oil
½ to 1 cup water (add enough to make a thin paste)

Directions: Mix above until well blended. Apply mixture to hair. Gently massage scrub on scalp in circular motion. After two or three minutes, rinse out with warm water.

Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Rinse

½ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2 cups of water
5 drops each of the following (to minimize vinegar smell):
Rosemary or Peppermint Oil
Sage or Lavender Oil

Directions: Close eyes tightly (you DON’T want this in your eyes) as you tilt head back; pour mixture through hair from root to ends. If needed, tilt head forward to cover hair completely. (Save any remaining mixture, if desired). After a minute or two, rinse with cold water to seal in moisture.

Hot Olive Oil Treatment (HOOT)

Warm up 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the microwave for around 15 seconds. Pour into the palm of your hand and gently massage it into the hair -from scalp to ends- until complete saturated. Cover with a plastic cap and damp towel. Wait for at least 30 minutes. Rinse out using a mild shampoo like Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. (You don’t really need to use a conditioner, but if you insist, try Imbue™ Natural Conditioner by Saba Botanical of USA.)

This is a great conditioner for all hair types.

Olive Oil and Multani Clay -What are They Good For?

Olive Oil and Multani Clay -a great combination for hair.

Multani Clay* (Fullers Earth) is great for drawing dead cells and excess oils from the skin. It also stimulates circulation to the skin. It absorbs bacteria, toxins and reduces water loss. The skin is then rejuvenated and becomes smooth, soft and supple. An aged method for controlling excess oil in the scalp. Wash hair and impurities are removed but the hair still retains its natural moisturizers; thus hair is left soft and radiant.

Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth)has also been used as a natural treatment for acne and even to alleviate the pain of arthritis. It can be used as a face mask or full body mask (10-15 minutes). The only caution is that the multani clay not be left on the skin for an excessive amount of time because it could cause over drying.

Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth) and Olive Oil Recipes for Hair

Damaged or Dull Hair Treatment: Moisten hair with warm water. Massage generous amount of natural oil into hair (refined sesame or apricot, shea nut oil, olive oil, etc.) Cover hair with plastic shower cap (or plastic wrap like “Saran” wrap) and a towel. Leave on for a minimum of one hour.

Next: apply a muddy paste of Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth) mixed w/water to hair and scalp. Leave on for 30 minutes. Using warm water, completely rinse the mud from hair and scalp.

Shampoo with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical). Apply a small amount of refined oil (except olive oil due to scent) to damp, towel dried hair and scalp. Comb through with a wide tooth comb. Let your hair dry naturally.

Split End Olive Oil Treatment:

Massage hair and scalp with olive oil. After 2 hours, steam hair for 30 minutes (wrap a towel dipped in hot water around head, avoiding face). Wash hair using a mix of Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth) and whole milk (use buttermilk for oily hair). Let dry naturally (olive oil will be absorbed. The next day, shampoo hair with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical).

Super Quick Dry Shampoo:

Divide hair into sections and fluff a little Multani Clay Powder through each section. Rub in well and leave on for 10 minutes. Brush out thoroughly with a clean brush. The Multani Clay will absorb most of the oil and dirt from hair. (Can be done if it’s inconvenient to do traditional shampoo).

Olive Oil for Great-looking Nails and Lustrous Hair.

Nail Care and Hair Care: Internally

Extra-virgin olive oil should be included in a healthy diet. A healthy diet is the key to healthy nails and healthy hair. Healthy nutritional changes can promote hair and nail growth and prevent nail damage and hair loss. You can obtain most of these from the foods you eat. If taking supplements, do not overdo it, since overuse can cause other health problems. Below are other essential foods to ingest, in addition to using extra-virgin olive oil for a heart-healthy diet.
Healthy Diet for Great Nail Care and Hair Growth:

Include omega-3 fatty acids; an essential part of your healthy diet. For nail care and hair growth, try to eat salmon (preferable wild Alaskan salmon), sardines, herring or mackerel two or three times a week. Or, sprinkle two tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseeds per day on your cereal or salads, or eat walnuts.
Supplement your diet with the essential omega-6 fatty acid called GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) in the form of black currant oil or evening primrose oil, available in capsules or soft gels at health food stores. Take 500 mg of either twice a day. Be patient with this one. You won't see results for six to eight weeks.
Minerals that strengthen the nails and hair shaft: calcium, selenium and silicon (silica).
Minerals that stimulates hair growth: manganese and zinc.
Minerals needed that help prevent thin, flat nails and hair loss: iron (deficiency can cause hair loss), iodine (regulates thyroid hormone -affects hair growth).
Vitamin that strengthen the nails and hair shaft: vitamin B-7, vitamin A (retinol).
Vitamins that stimulates nail and hair growth: vitamins B-1 (thiamin), B-2 (riboflavin), B-3 (niacin), B-5 (pantothenic acid), B-6 (pyridoxine), B-9 (folic acid), B-12 (cobalamin), vitamin E.

Nail Care and Hair Care: Externally

Olive oil can not only be used internally, for a healthy diet, but externally for great skin, nails and hair. Olive oil can be used as a nighttime massage oil for hair, hands and nails.
Olive Oil for Nail Care:
1.) Simply warm the olive oil and soak nails for about 10 minutes; cover with cotton sleep gloves (worn while sleeping). Go to sleep.
2.) Use the following recipe to soften skin and strengthen nails.
Moisturizing Paraffin Bath for Hands.
4 ounces paraffin
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. Lustrous Henna® Face & Body Mask Skin Treatment

In a small saucepan, heat the first 2 ingredients together until liquid. Mix in Lustrous Henna® Face & Body Mask Skin Treatment until well-blended. Cool to comfortably warm and "paint" each hand or dip both hands at once into the mixture. Wrap in plastic wrap. Leave on 10 minutes; then peel off.

Olive Oil for Hair Care:

Nighttime Hot Oil Hair Massage Therapy for Hair

Before going to bed (or anytime you have an extra 6-8 hours to wear a plastic cap), massage hot oil (EEVO/extra-virgin olive oil) into your scalp. Be careful not to make it too hot-should still be able to touch it without scalding your fingers.
Cover hair with a plastic cap or wrap and hair bonnet/scarf. (Sleep on a towel to protect pillow from possible leaking). In the morning, (before bathing) mix a little lemon juice and acv (apple cider vinegar) together and apply it to your scalp, dabbing with a soft cloth. Leave on for about 5 minutes and rinse out. Wash hair with Lustrous Henna Dry Shampoo Powder (made into a paste). Cover hair with plastic cap. Leave shampoo powder on hair for 5 minutes and rinse out. This will also help prevent dandruff and hair loss.
Taking good care of your hair will not only prevent hair loss, but will help you strengthen and maintain great-looking nails.

Deep Repair Masque -Recipes for Damaged Hair.

You’ve finally done it. You’ve pulled and twisted and tugged and fried and starved your hair into a state of panic. All is not lost if you spend the time to take care of your hair properly. You MUST have a regular hair care routine if you want healthy hair. No one wants damaged hair, so let’s start with a couple of deep repair masque recipes to get your hair on the road to wellness.

Damaged Hair Deep Repair Masque #1

Blend together the following in a bowl: 3 egg yolks;1 cup of full-fat mayonnaise (let mayo warm to room temperature); ½ cup of olive oil (some folks prefer extra-virgin olive oil also known as, EVOO). Makes 1-2 hair treatments, depending on your hair length.

Apply this mixture to your hair thoroughly –from root to tip-and gently massage it in for 3-5 minutes. Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles No need to shampoo. It’s best to use this masque when you have time to spend to let your hair dry naturally. There will be some oil left in your hair but it will be conditioning your hair until your next shampoo.
BTW: when ready to shampoo, suggest to shampoo with totally natural and extremely gentle: Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder since it doesn’t soap up much and contains more conditioning herbs –no need to use other conditioner.
Note: This hair masque is best used immediately after mixing. (When mixture is refrigerated and cold, the fats and oils can’t penetrate the hair follicles as well.)

Damaged Hair Deep Repair Masque #2

½ cup of full-fat mayonnaise, 1/2 of a ripe or over-ripe avocado, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup almond oil, 1 small jar of organic bananas baby food (won’t leave stuff in hair)

Make sure avocado is completely mashed and blend everything together until smooth, like pudding, with no separation of color. Apply this mixture to your hair thoroughly –from root to tip-and gently massage it in for 3-5 minutes.
Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles. No need to shampoo. It’s best to use this masque when you have time to spend to let your hair dry naturally. There will be some oil left in your hair but it will be conditioning your hair until your next shampoo.

Extra Hair Tip: Warm or Hot temperature opens the hair follicles and the hair conditioner can penetrate the follicles deeper. Cold water closes the hair follicles. Remember: after you rinse your hair, rinse again (briefly) with very cold water (whatever you can stand). You will have radiant, shiny and lustrous hair using the hair masque with this tip.
