Coco-cado Smoothie
This mask will provide moisture to your strands with the hydrating coconut milk while the avocado will supply strength with the fortifying fatty acids. The honey and olive oil will act as a moisturizer while also serving to seal strands to lock in the moisture.

• 1/2 of an Avocado
• 1 Cup Coconut Milk
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Honey

Blend all ingredients until smooth and consistent. Apply the mixture to wet hair. Put on a plastic shower cap for around 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water to reveal healthier hair!

Banging Banana Smoothie

This DIY hair smoothie is rich in vitamin B which helps rebuild keratin for stronger hair while also promoting circulation to encourage new growth. The banana and olive oil has moisturizing aspects to leave hair hydrated and soft.

• 1 Cup Plain Yogurt
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1/2 Banana

Combine all ingredients and blend until even. Apply to wet, clean hair and cover in a plastic shower cap. After 30 minutes, rinse out of hair.

The Grow Up

The grow up is like the glow up but for your hair! When you need a multi-use mask that will help with growth, this overnight mask is perfect. The coconut oil will moisturize and seal in moisture, while the lavender oil is known for scalp stimulation that increases circulation to encourage new growth.

• 1 Cup Coconut Oil
• 4-6 Drops Lavender Oil

Heat up your coconut oil to get it back to a liquid consistency. Add in the essential lavender oil and stir until blended. Apply to wet strands and put on a shower cap. This is an overnight mask, so go to bed! In the morning, rinse out and style as usual.
