Does your hair need some deep conditioning? Keep reading to learn how easy it is to make a homemade coconut oil hair mask!
Every now and then, my hair loses its shine. I start getting more split ends, and it looks a big more fizzy. Over the years, I have tried expensive and inexpensive deep conditioning treatments on my hair, and have had varying levels of success. It was only when I started making my own DIY Coconut Hair Mask that I found something that really worked for me.
I am all about homemade beauty products. I’m able to make my own homemade teeth whitener, homemade lip gloss and my own homemade body scrubs.
I have found that once I invested in a few key ingredients, such as coconut oil, essential oils and shea butter, then I can make hundreds of different beauty products, while saving money and reducing the toxins in my home.
If you haven’t jumped on the homemade beauty product bandwagon, this is a great product to start with 🙂 Your hair will feel hydrated, healthy and shiny. One treatment will honestly leave your hair looking better for weeks!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful recipe.
I am a huge big fan of you! This recipe is good – thank you!
Hey,how often do you use it? I’ve got 4C hair so will it work for my hair too? I usually use coconut oil and shea butter so finding something with coconut oil has me happy thanks.
Hi! I use this once a week. If you notice your hair getting too oily, space it out every 2 – 3 weeks. I don’t have any experience with 4C hair, so I’m not sure… if you try it, please let us know how it works!
Do you put this on dry hair or damp hair? How much does this make? What kind and size jar do I put this in?
You can do either, I usually prefer dry hair. This recipe only makes about 1/8 cup of conditioner, so it’s really designed for a one-time use. If you want to triple or quadruple the recipe, you can store it in a clean half-pint mason jar.
My hair has got dryer as I have gotten older, and could use a deep conditioning. I love making my own natural products so I will have to try this one. Thanks for sharing!
With three women with long hair in my home, I will definitely be giving your recipe a try. My teen daughters will think it’s fun to make our own conditioner.
I have always done this with just coconut oil and left it on my hair for an hour. AMAZINGLY Soft hair! :o)
Do you put just straight coconut oil on your hair? I will have to try that, thanks!!
Awesome! I’m a coconut oil lover … one the best beauty ingredients we can use 🙂
Beautiful!
