DIY Autumn Cinnamon, Honey & Olive Oil Hair Mask

When it comes to hair and facial treats the first stop for me is usually raiding the kitchen cupboards, I mean there are so many goodies that work wonders on hair and skin, are all natural, budget-friendly and oh so easy to make.

So, how about a DIY Autumn Hair Mask?

This treatmenttakes minutes to make and only uses three simple ingredients and will be leave you feeling pampered with glossy so locks – what’s notto love about that?

Grab your supplies..

• Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Tablespoon of honey
• Two teaspoons of cinnamon

This will make enough mask for mid length hair – if you super long mermaid locks, double up on the quantities to make enough to cover all your tresses.

Preparation:

• Mix the ingredients into a small bowl or ramekin, blending them all together to make a deep dark brown mix.
• Warm the treatment – either for a couple of second in the microwave (be careful notto getthe oil too hot as this will burn your scalp and damage your hair!) or place in a bowl of hot water and allow to gently warm.

To apply, brush out your hair, and dipping your finger tips in the mask begin massaging into the hair starting at the temples and forehead, and working over the whole scalp. Keep re-dipping your fingers into the mask and massaging over the scalp, once the scalp is covered, begin smoothing through the heights of your hair. Twist your hair up and wrap in a shower cap (or clear wrap for a super sectlook!) I like to leave this on for a few hours – but working from home makes this super manageable for me!

The mask has a lovely warming feeling – and smells greattoo! Cinnamon, honey and olive oil are all renowned for their benefits to healthy glowing hair and skin – some even believe thatthey promote hair growth, add a glossy sheen and can create natural gleaming highlights – I intend to keep up this mini hair pamper routine throughout the autumn, so I shall keep you posted!

To remove the mask aer the treatment, rinse with warm (nottoo hot) water and gently massage the hair and scalp to remove fully. You mightthink thatthe oil would be hard to remove, and will leave your hair feeling yucky, I find thatitrinses away really easily, and leaves my hear clean, glossy and super so…with out a hint of autumn frizz in sight. I have also found that co-washing (hair washing with only conditioner) is a great way to finish up this treatment. So, Autumn hair, don’t care!
