Fragrances, artificial colors, parabens and other softeners damage your mane in the long run. The hair becomes shaggy, straw-like and greasy faster.

How often you should use a hair conditioner
A homemade hair mask is good for your hair 1-2 times a week. However, you should not do it more often. Your hair needs time to absorb the ingredients and doesn't want to be overprotected.
Since you often work with hair masks with fresh ingredients, they are of course not so long shelf life. It is best to prepare only the amount that you can use immediately.
As a DIY gift, a hair treatment makes especially good. Whether it's a birthday, Christmas or just because your girlfriend is the best. It certainly conjures up a smile on her lips.

Why you should make your own hair mask
Natural cosmetics care gently and without aggressive silicones, surfactants, etc. The more natural the ingredients, the better the hair can absorb. High-quality oils repair each strand of hair from the inside.
Essential oils that you mix in will give your hair fragrance and help customize the care to you.
If you have been using conventional products from the supermarket, your hair will have to get used to them.
You probably expect the hair mask to apply and rinse out just as easily as the one from the store. This will not be the case with natural cosmetics. Your scalp and hair will have to get used to it. Especially the sebum production can get a little out of control at the beginning.
If you decide to make your own hair mask, give your hair and scalp two weeks to get used to the new products.
