OTC Hair Care from the Grocery Aisle

Rx: Yogurt Honey Hair Mask 

Sig: Apply weekly as needed for dry, dull hair or flaky, itchy scalp

Quantity: 1

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 3-4 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • optional: 1 egg yolk

Instructions:

  • Whisk ingredients together
  • Apply mask to hair and scalp
  • Tie hair up in a bun of some kind
  • Wrap in towel or put on a shower cap (optional)
  • Leave in 20-30 minutes
  • Rinse, shampoo

Here are a few quick tips and explanations:

The yogurt and egg add lots of proteins.  Yogurt can help pull away flakes from the scalp, as well. Make sure to get full fat yogurt, for best results.

Honey adds and helps seal in moisture.

Olive oil helps make the hair extra soft.

Covering the hair helps the mask do a better job.

I usually wash my hair then do the mask, then shampoo it again (I use a sulfate-free shampoo). You can do the mask first, then shampoo and condition, if you want.

Substitutes: 

  • yogurt- coconut milk
  • olive oil- avocado oil

I love this recipe and use it weekly, although you can use it less often, if you want. I have all these ingredients at home already. I just make sure to grab extra some yogurt when I’m out shopping. This mask keeps my hair soft and my scalp happy. Pamper yourself this week, and don’t forget to let us know how you liked it!
