Common Hair Mask Bases
Yogurt is full of protein, and this is the perfect mask base for someone who wants thicker, stronger hair follicles, especially if you get little protein from your diet during the week. Yogurt also acts as a skin exfoliator to slough away buildup of dead skin cells on the scalp and within your hair follicles. To give your scalp, a thorough cleanse, start with this base and move to the add-on section to complete your mask.
Coconut Oil is a natural, saturated fat that melts easily when applied to your palms. This oil contains lauric acid, myristic acid, and other essential fatty acids, with a small percentage of vitamins E and A. Coconut Oil is known to add moisture as it soaks directly into the cuticle to coat the hair, acting as a pre-conditioning treatment. For those with an oily scalp, try to concentrate the bulk of your treatment from the midshaft to the ends of your hair. For dandruff or dry scalp, use Coconut Oil as a base in your DIY mask then go to the add-on section to customize.
