Homemade Pumpkin Hair Mask

What You Will Need

  • Pumpkin puree (about 1 1/2 cups)

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

  • 2 tbsp raw honey

  • Optional: Yogurt, nutmeg, essential oil

Step 1: Prepare the Hair Mask

  1. Blend your pumpkin quickly to create the puree.

  2. In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut oil, and raw honey.

  3. Whisk until the ingredients are fully mixed. The consistency should resemble that of hair conditioner. If too thin, add more pumpkin puree to thicken.

  4. For added moisture, incorporate yogurt. For a warming sensation, mix in a very small amount of nutmeg. To elevate your experience, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil.

Step 2: Apply the Hair Mask

  1. Section your hair into four equal parts for easier application.

  2. Apply the mask to dry or damp hair, but damp hair will allow for easier distribution.

Step 3: Let It Work

  1. Once applied, gather your hair into a bun and let the mask sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. For enhanced absorption, consider using a disposable shower cap to retain heat.

  3. After the time is up, wash your hair with shampoo and style as desired.
