Here are 10 hair masks for oily hair that I enjoyed trying

1. Green Tea Mask

Ingredients:

½ Green Tea

1 Cup of Water

10 Drops of Lemon Essential Oil

This is one of the best hair masks for oily hair I have tried, other than its benefits it is so calming and relaxing. Start with making the tea, as usual, adding tea to water and let boiling then simmer for nearly 5 minutes. Strain then let it cools down adding the lemon essential oil. Apply on your hair for nearly 45 minutes then wash hair with lukewarm water and finish with cold water.

Green tea is full of antioxidants and that clean your hair and vanish any kind of dirt and bacteria, it also has a significant amount of caffeine that also stimulates hair follicles to increase growth. Another great benefit for green tea is being an amazing tonic for hair besides astringent properties that moisturize and give your hair that incredible shiny look.

1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

This is also a lovely mask I decided to use often, that is because it gave me deep nutrition without being too thick over my head. All the component hair need for shyness, volume, and health. Mix all the ingredients together and apply on your hair for 20 minutes, if you want deep moisturization to add one egg yolk. Rinse with lukewarm water then use your own shampoo and end with cold water.

Aloe vera has antioxidants and antibacterial properties that kill any fungus or bacteria caused by dandruff or dirt, it also moisturizes and coats every follicle. Lemon juice balances the sebum section which is very crucial for oily hair while honey also has antibacterial and antioxidant properties that give your great benefit.

I go for that mask if I am going for an important event or occasion, it makes my hair looks like made by a professional. It makes these little frizzy hairs vanish as they have never been there. It also gives it a healthy shiny look, so if you don’t want to apply tons of chemicals on your hair to tamp a frizzy look go for this mask.

Yogurt is a great cleanser for your oily hair because of its antibacterial properties, it also works as a deep moisturizer that gives your hair a shinier and more healthy look. Baking soda also works as a cleanser that is because it balances the secretion of sebum that blocks your scalp and prevents hair growth.

Grapeseed oil is clean your scalp and improves its balance and PH as it controls the secretion of sebum and the formation of oily dandruff.

8. Apple Cider Vinegar Mask

Ingredients:

Apple Cider Vinegar

Water

10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil

Apple cider used widely in DIY beauty recipes, I don’t prefer using it on my face because it is very strong and I was afraid using over my head as well but I heard great feedback of it for oily hair so I decided to give it a shot.

The most important tip for this mask is using the same ratio for both vinegar and water, there isn’t a fixed one you determine it according to your hair length. Mix all the ingredients together then pack in a spray bottle and apply hair while massaging the scalp then leave for 15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water as always then apply your shampoo.

Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid that helps in balancing the PH of the scalp to get rid of the greasy unwanted look for your hair, it also avoids any roots of oily dandruff.
