7 natural DIY
hair masks
to prevent frizz in monsoon
1. Aloe vera and almond oil mask
This mask combines the soothing properties of aloe vera with the deep nourishment of almond oil. Aloe helps hydrate the scalp and reduce inflammation, while almond oil seals in moisture and smoothens dry ends.
How to use:
Mix 2 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel with 1 tbsp almond oil. Apply from roots to tips, leave for 45 minutes, then rinse with a mild shampoo.
2. Coconut oil and honey
Coconut oil deeply penetrates the hair shaft, while honey acts as a humectant to lock in moisture and fight frizz.
How to use:
Warm 2 tbsp coconut oil with 1 tbsp honey. Massage into hair and scalp. Cover with a shower cap and leave for 30 minutes before washing off.
3. Banana, yogurt, and olive oil
Banana adds shine, yogurt restores protein, and olive oil reduces breakage.
This trio is perfect for taming frizz and giving lifeless hair a silky finish.
How to use:
Mash 1 ripe banana, mix with 2 tbsp yogurt and 1 tbsp olive oil. Apply evenly to hair, wait 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
4. Aloe Vera and hibiscus
Monsoon scalp issues like dandruff can lead to itchiness and more frizz. Hibiscus has anti-fungal properties while aloe vera soothes irritation.
How to use:
Grind a few hibiscus flowers into a paste or use 1 tbsp powder.
Mix with 2 tbsp aloe gel and 1 tsp coconut oil. Apply to scalp and hair. Leave for 30–40 minutes, then rinse.
5. Fenugreek, amla, and coconut milk
This mask helps reduce hair fall, fortify roots, and add natural shine. Fenugreek is rich in protein, while amla is a powerful antioxidant.
How to use:
Soak 2 tbsp of fenugreek seeds overnight. Grind into a paste and mix with 1 tbsp amla powder and 2 tbsp coconut milk. Apply generously and leave for 30 minutes.
6. Egg, olive oil, and lemon
Eggs are rich in protein, olive oil provides moisture, and lemon helps remove excess oil and dandruff.
This is great for balancing oily, frizz-prone hair during the monsoon.
How to use:
Beat 1 egg, add 1 tbsp olive oil, and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply only to the hair length (avoid too much on the scalp if sensitive). Leave for 20 minutes before washing with cool water.
7. Avocado, honey, and coconut oil
Avocado is loaded with healthy fats and vitamins that repair damaged hair. Honey and coconut oil work together to hydrate and lock in softness.
How to use:
Mash half an avocado, mix with 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Blend well, apply all over your hair, and leave for 30–40 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
