Along with much hair drama, the monsoon offers much-needed rain. Frizz becomes a daily struggle, particularly for those with wavy or dry hair. Your hair becomes unmanageable and dehydrated due to the humidity. Don’t worry, though; you don’t require expensive salon services. You may use basic kitchen products to make hair masks that work well at home.
To combat frizz and maintain silky hair throughout the season, try these five easy DIY hair masks.
1. Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil Mask – For Smoothing and Repair
What you require:
Two tablespoons of fresh gel of aloe vera
One tablespoon of coconut oil
Why it works: Aloe vera smoothes the texture of hair and calms the scalp. By into the hair shaft, coconut oil repairs damage and stops more frizz.
How to use: Apply to damp hair after thoroughly mixing. Before washing it off, let it sit for forty-five minutes.
2. Avocado and Egg Mask – For Strength and Smoothness
What you require:
Half a ripe avocado
One egg
One tablespoon of almond oil
Why it works: Dry hair is nourished by the nutritious fats found in avocado. Almond oil smoothes and softens, while the proteins in eggs repair damage.
How to use it: Whisk in the oil and egg after mashing the avocado. After applying completely, let it sit for half an hour. To prevent the egg from being cooked, rinse with cool water.
3. Banana and Honey Mask – For Deep Conditioning
What you require:
One ripe banana
One tablespoon of honey
One tablespoon of olive oil
Why it works: Bananas add moisture and smooth the hair cuticle. Olive oil adds gloss, and honey, a natural humectant, keeps moisture in.
How to use: Blend all ingredients into a smooth paste. Apply from root to tip, cover with a shower cap, and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse with a mild shampoo.
4. Yogurt and Honey Mask – For Frizz Control and Shine
What you require:
Two teaspoons of plain yogurt
One tablespoon of honey
Why it works: Lactic acid, which is found in yogurt, softens and detangles hair. Honey provides your hair a natural sheen while retaining moisture.
How to use: Apply the mixture to your hair, focusing on the ends. Leave it on for 20–30 minutes, then rinse.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse – For Cuticle Sealing and Shine
What you require:
Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
One cup of water
Why it works: ACV flattens the hair cuticle and regulates the pH of your scalp, which minimizes frizz and increases shine.
How to use: Rinse your hair with this after shampooing. Rinse with cold water after a few minutes of sitting. No need for conditioner!
Final Tips
Once or twice a week, apply these masks.
When it’s humid outside, let your hair air dry instead than using heat.
To lessen friction, sleep with a satin pillowcase on.
During the monsoon, homemade hair masks are revolutionary. They are inexpensive, natural, and surprisingly powerful. You can control the frizz and show off healthy, glossy hair throughout the season with a few simple ingredients and a little perseverance.
