Hair love: Easy peasy DIY hair masks

Hey guys,

I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been feeling pretty crappy lately. Between hayfever, feeling sick and a bad hairdresser experience, I’ve royally had enough so, I was sitting in bed trying to think of things that would cheer me up and I decided to give myself some pampering…starting with my hair.

So today I’m going to be sharing with you a few DIY hair masks that are simple to make and are kind to your bank account. When it comes to fashion, healthy hair is always in style, however, hair masks can be quite pricey when bought in shops. The masks below mostly consist of things that you probably already have in your kitchen cupboard. They are cheap, contain no harsh chemicals and are just as effective as expensive shop bought versions. I’ve tried to include a hair mask to suit all hair types.. but knowing me I’ve probably left some out. If I have, please leave a comment below and I’ll find one for you or alternatively just give “DIY hair masks” a good ol’ Google. There are recipes EVERYWHERE on the internet I can tells ya!

Ok I realise that for some people, the idea of putting food into your hair is strange and in some ways..yucky..however, I do promise you that you will completely get used to it and even end up becoming obsessed.. word of caution though… know your limitations…
