After you've chosen your base, it's time to pick two “fillings”. The fillings are two ingredients you choose to add to your mask which will further strengthen the base.
- Strawberries – for oily hair
- Bananas – for dry hair
- Avocado – for dry, damaged hair
- Baking Soda – for product build up and oily hair
- Almond Oil – for breaking, damaged, and dry hair
- Mayo – for dry hair
- Lemon – for lightening
#3. Pick a Strengthener
To tie the above ingredients together, you'll need to add one more ingredient which will strengthen the recipe.
- Yogurt
- Honey
- Egg
Simply play around with these ingredients and see which hair mask you like!

This looks good I gonna try for sure, but What abut the Proportions?
The amounts will vary from recipe to recipe, but we always suggest you start off with the thicker ingredient first (such as yogurt, mayonnaise, avocado etc…). To that, add just enough liquid ingredients to make a smooth paste!
