Natural Curl Care Masks You Can Make
Dry Curls:
In a small glass bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of raw, organic honey and 6 tablespoons of virgin olive oil. Mix until blended.
Section curls into 6-10 sections, and clip back. Apply the mask to damp curls, making sure to evenly saturate the sections.
Once curls are covered, place a shower cap over and sit for 30-60 minutes, applying heat if desired. Wash away with shampoo and follow with a conditioner.
Brittle Curls:
Place 2 tablespoons raw, organic honey and 1/2 cup room temperature whole milk in a bowl. Blend until completely mixed and smooth.
Section curls into 6-10 sections, and apply the moisture directly to your scalp, combing it through your curls gently.
Allow the moisture to sit for 60 minutes and cover with a shower cap. Rinse with shampoo and cool water, then follow up with a conditioning treatment.
Split Curls:
Mix 2 tablespoons raw, organic honey, 1 tablespoon almond oil, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar into a bowl. Blend until all the ingredients are fully mixed. Swap coconut oil for nut allergies.
Sections curls and dampen. Apply the mixture throughout your hair, paying special attention to the ends. Cover and apply heat. Allow it to sit for 60 minutes and remove with shampoo.
Frizzy Curls:
Take 1/2 of a ripe banana, and mash until smooth. Mix in 2 tablespoons raw, organic honey and 1/2 tablespoon of almond or coconut oil.
Once the ingredients are completely blended, apply evenly throughout wet hair. Massage into your scalp using your fingertips and comb throughout your strands. Cover with a plastic shower cap and allow it to sit for 60 minutes before rinsing out with shampoo and cool water.
