Steps
Patch test each mixture on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours before putting it on your scalp. Stop if you see redness, itching or swelling.
For the fenugreek and yogurt mask, soak 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight, then blend them into a smooth paste with 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt.
For the honey and olive oil mask, stir 2 tablespoons of honey into 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Warm the bowl in hot water if the honey is thick.
For the banana and coconut oil mask, mash one ripe banana and blend it with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil until no lumps remain.
For the avocado and aloe mask, mash half a ripe avocado with 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel until smooth.
Apply one mask to damp hair, working from the mid-lengths down to the ends. Keep it off the scalp if your roots get greasy quickly.
Cover your hair with a shower cap or a warm towel and leave the mask on for 20 to 30 minutes.
Rinse with cool water, then wash gently with a small amount of shampoo to remove the oils. Let your hair air dry.
Repeat one mask a week through winter, rotating between the four recipes so your hair does not get used to a single one.
Tips and common mistakes
Blend banana and avocado very smooth, since lumps are hard to rinse out and can leave bits in your hair.
Warm the oil slightly before mixing so it spreads easily, but never heat it so much that it burns your skin.
Cool water at the rinse stage helps calm frizz and static better than hot water.
Tie your hair back loosely while the mask sits so it does not drip onto your face and clothes.
Questions
How often should I use a DIY hair mask in winter?
Once a week is enough for most hair types. If your hair still feels dry, you can use a light mask twice a week, but watch for build-up.
Can I leave a homemade hair mask on overnight?
It is better not to. Twenty to thirty minutes is plenty, and leaving oil or yogurt on your scalp overnight can cause irritation or greasy roots.
What if I have an oily scalp and dry ends?
Apply the mask only from your ears down to the ends. Keep the roots clear so your scalp does not get weighed down.
