DIY homemade hair mask

Whether it's damage, dryness, flakes or fading, we all run into hair issues from time to time. The change in seasons, indoor heat, outdoor elements, and hot tools are only some of the culprits that can cause these changes. While you can't change the weather, you can fix your hair.

1) Honey, egg, and apple cider vinegar mask

The issue: If your hair is feeling (and looking) a little parched, try this honey, egg and apple cider vinegar (ACV) mask. It is a great hydrating treatment that provides shine and nourishes without weighing down strands, says Stephanie Brown, master colorist at IGK Salon in New York City.

Ingredients: 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of ACV.

Directions: Combine in a small bowl. You can double or half the recipe, depending on your hair’s length. Leave it on for 30 to 40 minutes before rinsing. This nourishing treatment works on all hair types.

2) Coconut oil, sugar, and essential oil mask

The issue: Flakes. If flakes start to appear on your scalp when the temperature is dropping, it may be because the heat in your home is higher and is drying out your skin, says Paul Cucinello, celebrity stylist and owner of Cucinello Studio NYC. Your scalp is no exception. This exfoliating treatment helps remove and reduce flakes and (bonus!) doubles as a great facial scrub.

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of raw unrefined coconut oil, 4 teaspoons of raw sugar, 5 drops of peppermint oil, 2 drops of tea tree oil.

Directions: In a small bowl, mix ingredients together. Using your fingers or a hair color brush, apply mixture directly to two inch sections of clean, damp hair in the shower. Once evenly applied, gently massage for 1-3 minutes and then clip your hair up and let it sit for the duration of your shower.
