Best Hairmasks For Oily Hair During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful time in any woman’s life. But it’s also a time when your hair and skin goes through a lot of changes. While we have heard how pregnancy makes your hair shinier and thicker, it’s a struggle for oily hair beauties. And washing your hair every day isn’t an option when you have so much to deal with and so little time. For all those women who have greasy hair during pregnancy, here are the 6 best hair masks to tackle your hair woes.
Yogurt Hair Mask
What you need:
- Plain yogurt – 1/2 cup
- Baking soda – 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice – 2 tablespoon
- Egg white – 1
Yogurt is a product that does wonders not just for your skin, but your hair as well. It is a great source of probiotics and contains antioxidants and vitamins that will nurture and nourish your hair while also controlling the excess oil on your scalp. Mix all the above ingredients in a bowl to form a fine paste. Now apply it on your hair from the roots to the tip. Let it stay for half an hour before you wash it off.
Aloe Vera Hair Mask
What you need:
- Aloe vera extract – 1 leaf
- Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
Because of its soothing properties, it’s the perfect hair mask to use during summer. Apply this hair mask focusing on your scalp and let it be for 30 minutes. It’s a refreshing hair mask and is perfect to pamper yourself after a long and tiring day. If you don’t have aloe vera at home, it’s best to plant it in a small pot so that you can use it whenever you need.
Egg White Hair Mask
What you need:
- Egg white – 1 egg
- Lemon juice – 1 lemon
Egg whites are great for oily scalp beauties. And unlike the yolk part, egg whites do not smell that bad. Beat the egg white and lime juice really well before you apply it on your hair. Also, it can get a bit messy. So be prepared for some dripping. You can place a thick towel around your neck and shoulders to do some damage control. But trust us when we say its worth the effort. Just let it sit for half an hour before washing it with your regular shampoo.
Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Mask
What you need:
- Apple cider vinegar
- Water
- Lavender essential oil – 7 -8 drops
Many people have an aversion to apple cider vinegar because of its strong smell. But it’s great for a hair mask if you have greasy hair. Before you start, make sure you take equal amounts of apple cider and water according to your hair length. To this, add 7 to 8 drops of lavender essential oil. Pour this mixture in a spray bottle and apply it on your hair and scalp. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and wash with your regular shampoo.
Baking Soda Hair Mask
What you need:
- Baking soda – 2 tablespoon
- Tea tree oil — 5-7 drops
- Castor oil – 1 teaspoon
- Water – Enough to form a thick paste
Mix all the ingredients to form a paste. Apply it on your scalp. Leave it on for about 20 minutes. Now wash it off with shampoo.
Tomato Hair Mask
What you need:
- Ripe tomato – 1
- Fuller’s earth – enough to form a paste
Extract juice from one tomato and mix it with fuller’s earth to form a paste. Apply this mix on your scalp and hair evenly using a hairbrush. Cover it with a shower cap for half an hour. Now rinse your hair with water and you’re good to go.
