Coconut Hair Mask

The older I get the worse my hair seems to get! I don’t know why, but it gets dry and tangled really easily. My hair also sheds. A lot! It’s horrible. So I have been looking for ways to improve my hair’s condition. This is a really easy hair mask that I have made a few times and I really like it.

I will say that my hair is naturally greasy. Like there is no skipping hair washes for me! So this hair mask does make my hair greasy, but it’s SO worth it. My hair is soft and easy to brush for days! I also notice that I don’t shed as much. I try to do it once a week and I have noticed a big difference!

You only need 4 ingredients which is great! 🙂

– 3 tbsp All Natural Coconut Butter (You can also use coconut oil if you have that on hand)

– 2 tbsp Olive Oil

– 1 tbsp Gelatin – the one I use is amazing! You can find it here. It’s a BIG bottle, but it will be great for lots and lots of hair masks! 🙂

– 3 -4 drops of Lemon Essential Oil

You may also want a shower cap! My pink one I have was only about $3 and it shipped for free! You can get it here. 🙂

This recipe will make enough for one hair mask. I mix my hair mask in a plastic jar that I recycled. I have doubled the recipe and it has kept just fine in it.

Mix your hair mask and then put into your hair. Massage it into your scalp. The gelatin is full of protein so massage it into those roots! Let it sit for 15-20 minutes and then shower. Shampoo and condition as normal. The lemon essential oil will keep your hair from getting greasy and it will also prevent/help to fix dandruff. Plus, it smells good!

Admire your super soft hair! I repeat each week and I have been loving the results so far!
