5 Best Natural Hair Conditioners and Masks

Whether you’re new to maintaining natural hair, want to try something healthier for your hair, or have been natural for a very long time and is looking for something new, these conditioners and masks will help! Here are the top five natural conditioners and masks for the best results on hair.

1.       Mayonnaise, Oil, and Egg conditioner:  This concoction leaves natural hair soft, manageable, strong, shinier, and all around healthier. Each ingredient provides everything one could desire for their hair. Mayonnaise moisturizes hair, protects from UV rays, protects from harmful chemicals in hair products, and restores ph balance. The use of natural oil (whether it is castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or other) helps with shine, and adds additional moisture. The egg provides protein that will strengthen hair while protecting it.

Ingredients:

1 cup of mayonnaise

½ cup of natural oil of your choice

1 whole egg

Directions:

Mix mayonnaise with oil until the texture is fluffy, smooth, and whipped. Next, add oil until the consistency of the concoction is smooth. Once finished, add the concoction to dampened hair and leave on for 45 minutes to an hour. Be sure to cover with a plastic cap or plastic bag (be sure to place all of the hair in the bag and to tie the handles of the bag around head to keep heat in) Once finished, thoroughly rinse out with lukewarm (closer to cool to retain moisture) water and style as desired.
