A BEAUTY guru with enviably long hair has revealed three ingredients that she swears by for her DIY treatment mask.
She said the kitchen cupboard staples can be applied to locks for moisture, shine, and growth.
Amrit K (@amrit.k.virdi) has over 2,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares natural beauty remedies.
“Here is the only hair mask you need for long, luscious, and healthy hair,” she said.
“The best part is that it’s only three ingredients that you already have in your house.
“First, you want a healthy amount of coconut oil.”
She put a large scoop of coconut oil into a glass bowl and then melted it until it was runny.
“Once you’ve melted that down, add half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar,” she said.
“The coconut oil is moisturizing, while the apple cider vinegar cleanses and improves scalp health.
“The final ingredient is honey, which is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory.
“Mix this well and apply generously all over your scalp.”
The hair mask was a golden yellow color and runny after all three ingredients were combined in the bowl.
She recommended leaving the mask on for a few hours before rinsing it out.
“Your scalp will be detoxed and hair moisturized with visible shine,” she said.
“The perfect hair mask for getting longer and healthier hair (deep conditioning and cleansing),” she added.
“A healthy scalp will improve hair growth and/or decrease hair shedding.”
Many viewers liked the video and saved it to watch again.
The hair mask recipe comes after an article published by Healthline cited studies sharing the benefits of coconut oil.
Researchers have found that coconut oil reduces protein loss more than sunflower and mineral oils when applied to hair before washing.
Coconut oil may also help hair to grow longer as it reduces the damage caused by day-to-day wear and tear.
Scientific findings support theories that apple cider vinegar could strengthen hair and that honey restores shine while moisturizing dry hair and scalp.
