:: DIY Hair Mask + Body Scrub ::
The harsh coldness of winter brings about DRY hair and skin! I for one, have grown weary of my flaky skin and brittle ends! How about you? Do you happen to have a jar of organic coconut oil in your home? There are so many uses for coconut oil… in fact, you can cruise on over to Wellness Mama to view 101 uses for the magical stuff! One of my favorite ways to apply coconut oil is to my hair and skin. Nightly, I actually smooth it all over my face. {It helps to moisturize and has natural anti-bacterial properties that help fight against acne and dreaded breakouts.}
Since coconut oil is so versatile and healing, I came up with two simple DIY beauty recipes you can make on a whim, to help nourish your lovely locks and moisturize your thirsty skin. {I used all Trader Joe’s ingredients for my mixtures.} Enjoy, and please let me know how else you use coconut oil!
The Hair Mask:
The Body Scrub:
I love scrubs, especially before waxing, so important! I have coffee and coconut oil scrub that is fabulous…and it smells like I am brewing coffee in the shower! Hah! Love it!
Oh my, Andrea! That sounds amazing! I love both coconut oil and coffee so that would be a great mix for me! Bet you could make it yourself at home! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog and commenting! Nicole and I appreciate it! Enjoy your day! xoxo
That hair mask looks like perfection!
It really is, Shaina! I hope you’ll try it! Thanks for stopping by our blog today! Hope you’re having a fabulous week with your family! xo
I just used your hair mask recipe and I absolutely love it! The smell is scrumptious and my hair is shiny. Thank you!!
Oh Jenny! I am so glad that you made it and liked the mask! It’s so simple to make… and costs far less than purchasing one premade! Love you, my friend! xoxo
How long will the body scrub last being stored in a jar?
Several months! I stored mine in the shower, and would warm the jar of it under the hot water to melt the coconut oil so it was in a liquid state. Enjoy! š
I love this hair mask recipe, I just would like to ask how long will it last in the jar? I would like to give it to my sister as christmas gift š
Thanks
Barbara
Hi Barbara! Since the hair mask is made out of fresh avocado, it will perish before the sugar scrub. I would plan to make it the same day if possible, and keep it refrigerated… or maybe use the sugar scrub as the gift, and make the hair mask {with your sister} just prior to using it. I’m so glad you like the mask recipe! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog! I hope you have the Merriest Christmas! xo
I love scrubs but have never made my own, can’t believe it now I know how easy it is to do! Will definitely give this a try.
Hi Jill! Scrubs can be so expensive, when store-bought! I think it’s a perfectly simple DIY to make on your own and enjoy! This is such an easy, yet effective scrub! Please do write back once you’ve tried it! I’d love to hear what you think! Happy Holidays! xo
Thanks for sharing, that’s so cute. Do you think it is suitable for hair breakage and split ends? It’s something I get asked quite often from my own blog’s readers, and I would love to know what you might think of it.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
