With unpredictable weather teeter tottering from warm to cool or humid to moist, it definitely means placing more work into keeping my hair healthy. Where I live, the temperature can sometimes shift multiple degrees in one day, which often leaves my curls frizzy or lackluster.
One of my favorite ways to keep my hair looking healthy year-round is making my very own weekly hair mask. I’ve found it easier than one would think and super effective! Below, I’ve shared some fruity recipes that you can whip up right at home using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
Here are three of my favorite go-to recipes for all kinds of hair issues, from dryness to dullness to excess oil. So the next time you want to give your hair a little salon-quality TLC at home, I encourage you to try one of these delicious treats!
