DIY Hair Mask for Dry Hair With Coconut Oil
Dry hair can be a frustrating problem, but with the right ingredients, it can be easily solved. Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that penetrates deep into the hair shaft, leaving it soft and silky. This hair mask is easy to make, and it only requires a few simple ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen. It's an excellent solution for those who want to have healthy hair without breaking the bank.

- Spoon
- Shower cap or plastic wrap
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the coconut oil and honey (if using) until well combined.
- Heat the mixture in the microwave or in a double boiler until it is warm and liquid.

- Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap and let it sit for 30 minutes.
