Homemade Hair Treatment Options - In order to maintain the health and beauty of your hair, it is important to keep hair properly conditioned and hydrated. While there are a large number of treatments available for purchase at drugstores and salons, many hair masks and moisture treatments can be made inexpensively at home. These mixtures provide a more natural means of taking care of your hair.
To begin with you need to understand the present condition of your hair. Extremely dry hair tends to absorb more moisture, but your individual results may vary greatly. Before trying a mask, apply a small amount of the mixture to a test strand in order to determine if the treatment is right for your hair.

Fruit Hair Mask
To make a mask, combine one-half banana, one-half avocado, and a small amount of cantaloupe or other melon. Blend fruit thoroughly with a few tablespoons of plain, unflavored yogurt. Smooth evenly through hair and allow the mixture to sit for ten to fifteen minutes before rinsing thoroughly. The yogurt and avocado moisturize and condition the hair while the cantaloupe and banana encourage shine and manageability.
Fruits mixtures can be used to enhance the health of your hair. The citric acid in many fruits adds shine to hair, while antioxidants help protect hair from harmful environmental toxins.
Note: if your hair is blonde or light brown, avoid dark fruit such as berries or grapes that can stain light hair.
