Two Easy and affordable DIY: hair mask for natural hair

Hello Guys, I'm back!

Today post is gonna be about two different hair mask that I use for my TWA (Teeny, Wenny, Afro) and they are really affordable and easy to make. I finally did my big chop, three days ago.  I feel good about it, no regrets but like I said in my last post that I don't feel confident yet slaying my short natural hair.

I used this hair mask when I was transitioning and it really worked for my new growth, now that I big chop I feel that my hair looks thicker and fuller than when it was relaxed. I thought about sharing my DIY hair mask and here is it!

1. The fenugreek powder is the secret for DIY homemade deep conditioner mask.

This DIY deep conditioning mask is my favourite, I use it every two weeks after my washing my hair.

Fenugreek seed powder

Avocado

Ingredients that you will need are:

• Olive oil (50ml)
• 1 banana
• 1 Avocado
• Aloe vera juice about 30-50ml
• Fungreek seed powder ( 2- 3 tbsp)
• Organic Mayonnaise (optional)
• Honey (2 tbsp)

Benefits of this Ingredients:

• Olive oil: for hair growth has been used for centuries and there are many happy people who say it definitely works. Olive oil contains softening benefits and helps the hair to be much thicker and denser. It contains essential nutrients and monosaturated fatty acids. these aid in strengthening the hair from the roots and right down to the tips of your hair.  
• Banana: they are rich in potassium, natural oils, carbohydrates, and vitamins which help in softening the hair and protects the hair's natural elasticity preventing splits ends and breakage. Banana creates shine, growth and controls dandruff from your hair.   
• Avocado helps to rejuvenate and moisturise the scalp. They are a rich source of proteins, amino acids, and vitamins which help to shoot the scalp and promote long, strong and healthy hair growth.  
• Honey is an humectant, which means that it helps attract and retain moisture to your hair. As a naturalist, we are constantly trying to feed our hair nourishment to fight dry hair and frizziness. Honey is ideal for that, it replenishes that moisture, as well as fusing vitamins and minerals into strands for healthy results. 
• Greek yoghurt is great for moisturising hair, help your hair to recover your natural shine, achieve a bouncy hair, strong hair and healthy scalp (helping to get rid of dandruff).
• Aloe vera juice contains something called proteolytic enzymes wich repair dead skin cells on the scalp.it also acts as a great conditioner and leave your hair all smooth and shiny. It also promotes hair growth, prevents itching on the scalp, reduces dandruff and conditions your hair making it easy to manage and style.  
• Mayonnaise (optional): mayonnaise contains vinegar which is an effective ingredient for balancing the scalp Ph levels and oil production. Excessive oil production is one of the leading of dandruff, using mayonnaise will help to shoot the scalp while unclogging and tightening the follicles. This helps kerb dandruff. It also seals the hair's cuticles shut which keep moisture from the atmosphere from sneaking into your hair shaft. Keeps hair calm and smooth.
• Fenugreek seeds (Methi powder) helps your hair from breaking, thinning and balding. Also, prevents dandruff, makes your hair shimmer, silky and easy to detangle and style as desired. 

  
Directions:

1. Grab the avocado and cut it in half with a kitchen knife. Take away the seed in the middle with a tablespoon. Place the avocado into a blender. If you don't have a blender don't worry you can use a bowl where everything can fit in it.  
2. Now peel the banana and cut it into the blender or bowl. 
3. Add 2 tbsp of Fenugreek powder in the blender or bowl.
4. Add 30 ml of Aloe vera juice to the mix.
5. Add 2 tbs of Olive oil to the mix.
6. Now blend everything together in your blender making sure that everything is mixing well. No crumbs visible or big pieces. If you don't have a blender you can use a hand blender or even a fork will do it. Mix everything about 2 minutes or until you mix turns into a creamy consistency. 
7. Once you everything is blended properly, place it into a bowl or recipient. Add one pot (120g) of greek yoghurt in the mix and add tbs of olive oil. Mix everything well with a hand blender.
