Cost Breakdown
One of the advantages of making a homemade repairing hair mask is its affordability, especially when compared to salon treatments or commercial hair masks. However, it’s good to mention that the prices may vary, depending on the quality of the products you choose, since both honey and olive oil prices can vary greatly. Here’s a breakdown of potential costs:
1/2 cup honey: $0.94
1/4 cup olive oil: $0.53
3 drops Clary Sage essential oil: $0.58
3 drops Geranium essential oil: $0.43
Total: $2.48
Ingredients
- Honey: The humectant properties in honey help regulate and retain moisture in hair. Plus, honey can help promote hair growth and strengthen hair follicles.
- Olive Oil: Olive oil helps to moisturize your hair shafts as well as your scalp, helping to reduce dryness and dandruff. Using olive oil in your hair can also help smooth away fly-aways, protect your hair from breaking, make it extra soft, and bring much needed moisture back from hair damaged from blow drying, heat, and styling. Plus, the olive oil in this recipe helps to dilute the honey so that the oil treatment is easier to apply to your hair and makes it less sticky from the honey.
- Clary Sage Essential Oil: Clary Sage essential oil is balancing, floral, and feminine. It helps to balance the pH levels of your hair allowing it to look and feel healthier than ever.
- Geranium Essential Oil: Also known as “poor man’s Rose”, Geranium essential oil is a common oil used to help beautify hair. Geranium helps to add shine, increase moisture, and promote new hair growth.
How to Make Repairing Honey Hair Mask
Step 1. In a small bowl, add the honey.
Step 2. Add the olive oil. Stir until combined.
Step 3. Add the Geranium drops.
Step 4. Finish with the Sage drops. Stir again.
How to Use it
To use, apply to hair, focusing on ends and damaged areas. Let sit for at least 15 minutes (I prefer to leave it on overnight). Wash with shampoo (you may have to double rinse with shampoo to get all of the oil out) and condition. Style as usual and enjoy your shiny, healthy, and glowing hair.
FAQs
For dry or damaged hair, using the mask once a week is ideal. If your hair is healthier, you can use it every two weeks or as needed to maintain softness and manageability.
It’s not necessary, but I recommend it! If you choose to leave it overnight, make sure to cover your hair with a shower cap to avoid mess and rinse it out thoroughly in the morning.
Yes, this mask is generally safe for color-treated and chemically treated hair. The nourishing and hydrating properties of honey and olive oil can help restore moisture lost during chemical treatments.
