Natural Hair Masks for Optimal Hair Growth

After you have experienced some hair loss or thinning, the next thing to do is start 
growing your hair back. Try to use more natural products on your hair to nourish those 
follicles and treat your scalp well. There are a variety of hair masks you can make with 
simple ingredients that don’t have any harsh toxins or chemicals.

Olive Oil and Lemon

This simple hair mask is for anyone who is dealing with hair growth issues due to a dry, 
itchy scalp. This can cause you to scratch your scalp a lot, which negatively affects your 
follicles and might cause more hair to fall out. If you want a natural way to help with your 
itchy scalp, try making a mask of just olive oil and lemon juice. Just make sure you don’t 
have open sores or scabs on your scalp or the lemon will burn. It is good to test it on a 
small area of hair first before all your hair.

Coconut Oil

The great thing about coconut oil is that it can be used on its own for a hair mask, or 
combined with just about any other natural ingredient. Many people find that it helps 
with the strength and softness of their hair, reduces itching and dry scalp, and helps to 
make the hair shiny. If you just want to use coconut oil on its own, apply it to your scalp 
and hair before washing it. This can be a mask done in an hour before washing your 
hair, or by leaving it on overnight. You can also mix the coconut oil with honey or other 
natural ingredients.

Avocado and Oil

Here is another simple hair mask you can make with ingredients you probably have in 
your kitchen. This one is great for conditioning your hair in a way that is much more 
intense than regular conditioner. You will leave it in your hair for several minutes to let 
the nutrients soak into your hair and scalp, helping to protect your hair from breakage 
and excessive shedding. For this mask, you just need to combine some mashed 
avocado with an oil of your choice, like castor oil or argan oil.

Banana and Olive Oil

Lastly, you can try another food and oil mask with bananas and olive oil. This is 
especially great for protecting your hair from breakage as a result of dying or using 
heated appliances on a regular basis. Banana provides some excellent nutrients, while 
the olive oil is going to protect your strands and reduce the frizz.
