This homemade cream for dry hair was originally developed for family members that wanted stronger, healthier and less frizzy locks.  Health problems created issues with thin and brittle hair for me and less of it.  My husband was blessed with thick, textured hair that is able to be formed so many ways and then magically stay put.  The aging process, however, has taken its toll, and those lovely strands are becoming dry, less nourished and thinner.

This dry hair remedy has been used by us for a short time, but we love the hair cream. It is moisturizing, provides nutrients for your scalp, hair follicles ,and hair strands. It is surprisingly not too heavy and easy enough to wash out, and of course, is all-natural.  Use it and provide your hair with a little extra love.

This post shows you how to create a DIY hair mask for dry hair that will give your hair healthy strands that will better withstand the elements.

#1  Make Herbal Infusion

To Create the herbal infusion using the sun method, make sure you have a sterile and dry pint sized mason jar if you are using exact measurements of herbs  according to this recipe.  Otherwise, you can fill a mason jar 1/2 way up with dried herbs, then add the oil to the jar stopping 1 inch prior to the top of the jar.

• Add measure herbs into mason jar.
• Pour castor oil into the jar stopping 1 inch from the top.
• Put a piece of natural parchment paper over the top of the jar.
• Place the mason jar lid on the jar and screw it on tightly.
• Give the jar a shake.
• Place the mason jar inside a paper bag and place next to a window sill for 2-3 weeks.
• Make sure to give the jar a shake every so often.

#2  Melt Shea Butter

In a pint-sized mason jar, place Shea butter into the mason jar. Place the mason jar inside a small sauce pan and pour water 1/2 the way up the side of the jar.

Tip 1:  Place the mason jar's metal lid in the pan underneath the glass mason jar or wash cloth.  This will  ensure the glass from cracking during the heating process.

Tip 2:  Do not cover the mason jar oil and beeswax formula with a lid. Condensation can build up, and you do not want any moisture or water in the mixture.

#3  Add Oils

Once the Shea butter is melted, add the castor, coconut, and jojoba oils and stir.  Pour the oil into a medium-sized bowl and allow to cool for approximately 20 minutes or until the oil mixture has firmed enough to whip.

#4 Whip Into A Beneficial DIY Dry Hair Treatment

Whip the oil mixture into a cream using a whisk or blender.  Do this for approximately a minute or two.  Only do this until the mixture is a creamy well-incorporated blend.

#5  Pour Into Container.

Pour the mixture into a container and label.  Only a small amount is needed for the hair. Make sure to use clean, dry hands when scooping the mixture out.  

You may want to store the DIY hair mask in a jar and scoop a small amount out at a time into a smaller jar to use.
