3 DIY Moringa Hair Masks That Are Good Enough to Eat

When you’re going grocery shopping this week, add a few items to your list that will nourish your tummy and your hair! We've put together three DIY hair masks you can make with food from the kitchen - just add moringa oil for a home-salon treat alone or as a girls’ night in. 

Moringa & Avocado Hair Mask

This recipe is a great deep conditioner because of the antioxidants found in Moringa and Avocado. The lemon is great for itchy scalps and/or preventing dandruff.

You will need:

  • 1 tablespoon of Moringa oil 
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Mash the avocado in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix them all together. Apply the mixture to damp, clean hair and also massage it onto your scalp. Put a shower cap on your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes.

This is a great time to catch up on your favorite shows, talk to the girls, make something for your stomach (now that your hair has been fed) etc. Rinse out after the time is up and wash your hair as usual.


Moringa & Banana Hair Mask

You already know how great Moringa is, but did you know honey is a humectant? It naturally attracts moisture. Tea Tree oil stimulates hair growth and bananas, the base of this mask, are rich in potassium (hair strengthening).

You will need:

  • 2 tablespoons of Moringa oil
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 banana
  • 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree oil

Directions:

Mash the banana in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix them all together. Apply the mixture to damp, clean hair and also massage it onto your scalp. Put a shower cap on your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Casually take any other bananas you have left add some honey and milk. Mix in a blender. You’ve now made yourself a smoothie while you wait.

 

Moringa & Yogurt Hair Mask

Is this a hair mask or a really good dessert?

You will need:

  • 2 tablespoons of Moringa oil
  • 4 tablespoons of yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon of mint

Stir the ingredients together in a bowl. Apply the mixture to damp, clean hair and also massage it onto your scalp. Put a shower cap on your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Bon appetit to you and your hair!
