With midterms coming up, we could all use a little relaxation time. So, give your hair and face a little love with these easy DIY recipes! You can whip them up with simple ingredients you can find in your kitchen.  

1. Hair Mask For Frizzy Hair 

1 mashed banana

2 tablespoons plain yogurt 

1 tablespoon honey

 

2. Hair Mask For Dry Hair

1/2 avocado 

2 egg yolks

 

3. Hair Mask For Damaged Hair

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 tablespoon organic raw honey

 

Keep these masks in your hair for about 30 minutes, then wash out.  A shower cap helps keep it in place and prevents it from dripping.  They may sound gross, but they make your hair feel amazing! 

 

1. Pore-Shrinking Acai Face Mask

2/3 cup sugar 

2 teaspoons acai powder OR 1/4 cup acai slush

10 fresh berries of your choosing

1 tablespoon olive oil

 

2. Rejuvenating Milk Face Mask

1/4 powdered milk

water until thick

 

3. Exfoliating and Moisturizing Lemon Face Mask

juice of 1 lemon

1/4 up olive oil

 

Go and pamper yourselves!
