Cinnamon Hair Mask Recipe and Application
Here's how to make and apply a cinnamon hair mask:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Coconut oil (or olive oil)
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the cinnamon, honey, and enough coconut oil (or olive oil) to create a thick, spreadable paste.
- Apply to Scalp: Apply the mixture directly to your scalp, focusing on the roots.
- Massage: Gently massage the mask into your scalp to stimulate blood flow.
- Leave-In: Leave the mask on your hair for approximately 20 minutes.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the mask out of your hair thoroughly with water. You may need to shampoo to remove all residue.
Important Considerations:
- Patch Test: Before applying the mask to your entire scalp, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
- Frequency: Limit use to once or twice a week to avoid potential irritation.
- Other Benefits: Some people also believe cinnamon can lighten hair slightly, though results may vary.
