As the winter season arrives, it’s important to take extra care of your hair and scalp. The cold weather and low humidity can leave your hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. But don’t fret, we’ve got you covered with some fun and easy DIY hair masks that use natural ingredients to help maintain and repair your hair.
Let’s start with the Coconut & Avocado hair mask. This powerful combo of coconut oil and avocado is rich in healthy fats that nourish your hair and keep it moisturized. The essential oils add a soothing scent to the mix that will help you relax and de-stress. Here’s how to make it:

- 3 tbsp. Avocado
- 2–3 drops Essential Oils (We recommend 2 drops lavender and 1 drop tea tree oil)
Directions:
- Mash the avocado and combine it with coconut oil to make a smooth blend.
- Add 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil to the mix and stir well.
- Apply the mask to damp hair, focusing on the ends and any dry areas.
- Let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes before combing out, then rinse and wash your hair with conditioner.
Next up, let’s tackle those split ends with our Strengthen Hair & Fix Those Split Ends hair mask. Split ends can be a major nuisance, especially during the winter season when the hair tends to be drier and more brittle. This mask uses natural ingredients like bananas, raw eggs, and olive oil to strengthen your hair and prevent breakage. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp. Plain Yogurt
- 1–2 Raw Eggs
- 2 tbsp. Mashed Bananas
- 2–3 tbsp. Olive Oil
Directions:
- Mix together the yogurt, mashed bananas, and olive oil to make a thick paste.
- Add 1-2 raw eggs to the mixture and stir well.
- Apply the mask to your hair, either damp or dry, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
