Hair masques are a great way to unwind and relax, especially if you include essential oils! As well as the unwinding and relaxing aspect, hair masques are a great way to “feed” your hair by adding moisture, conditioning, and for cleansing.
Great essential oils for spa are Lavender, Sweet Orange, Patchouli… any essential oil that you love! Just add a few drops to your spa recipe. 🙂
Nourishing and Cleansing Rhassoul Hair Masque (for all hair types)
Depending on your hair type, the length at which the rhassoul treatment stays on the hair differs.  According to the blog post  “How To Use Ghassoul (rhassoul) For Soft, Healthy Skin And Hair“,  the rhassoul treatment should be applied to damp hair and left on for 5-10 minutes for dry hair  (this can be done in the shower), on normal hair, let sit 5-15 minutes, and for oily hair, let sit 10-20 minutes. Deep conditioning may or may not be necessary afterwards, depending on your hair type.
- 3TBS  organic rhassoul powder made into a paste with pomegranate or carrot juice
- 1/2 cup  light greek yogurt
- a drizzle or your favorite oil (organic argan, organic camellia, olive etc)
- 1TBS of aloe vera gel or organic aloe vera powder
Avocado Hair Masque for Dry Tresses
- 1 avocado mashed very well
- 1-2TBS coconut milk or Greek Yogurt
