Lack of hair hydration affects both young and mature women. While it's true that today there are multiple treatments to repair the damage, it's also true that at home and in the kitchen we can find 100% natural remedies that can help us solve this annoying problem.
But first let's start with the basics...
How can I tell if my hair needs hydration?
Below we list several of the symptoms that are common when our hair loses its natural moisture.
The first sign you may notice is split ends, which may even tend to appear a different color. Another sign you may notice is if you've changed products repeatedly and haven't seen any improvement, which is when you need to pay attention to this problem.
Now take note because below we'll present you with recipes for incredible homemade treatments to hydrate your hair!
Egg yolk and honey mask
Egg yolk contains a huge amount of protein and is also a source of vitamins A, B6 and B12.
Honey is one of nature's most valuable gifts, as it contains almost all the amino acids in existence, as well as vitamins C, D, and E.
To prepare this mask, all you need is a glass container, an egg yolk, three tablespoons of honey, and a hand blender.
Preparation method
We recommend using a mixer because it will lose the honey's viscous properties, making it easier to apply and remove.
Apply it to your medium to long hair and let it sit for 35 minutes. Once the time has passed, wash as usual and apply the conditioner of your choice.

Greek yogurt and avocado mask
Greek yogurt contains twice the amount of probiotics compared to regular yogurt, contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and magnesium, and is a source of vitamins A and B.
Avocado is a source of vitamins E, K, B6, and C.
To prepare this mask, all you need is a serving plate, a fork, half an avocado, and half a cup of sugar-free Greek yogurt.
Preparation method
The first thing you should do is mash the avocado with a fork and gradually begin adding the yogurt.
The consistency we're looking for is similar to that of styling cream. Apply it to your mid-lengths and let it sit on your hair for 15 minutes. We recommend covering your hair with a warm cloth once applied. This will make the mask take effect in less time.
If you don't want to do this step, let it sit in your hair for 25 minutes. Once the time is up, wash as usual, but this time don't apply conditioner. This is because avocado is already a greasy enough product, so adding an extra product would be counterproductive.
Of the recipes we've presented, the last one is possibly the simplest to make, but it's also one of the most effective home moisturizing treatments you can try.
Mayonnaise and olive oil mask
Mayonnaise has natural ingredients such as oil, lemon and egg and is a source of protein and vitamins A, B and E.
While olive oil is also a bomb of vitamins A, D and K.
To prepare this mask you will need a glass container, a tablespoon of mayonnaise and a tablespoon of olive oil.
Preparation method
Start by mixing both ingredients until you have a homogeneous mixture and apply it to your hair only from the ends to the middle.
Since this mixture is quite oily, it is very important that you do not apply it to your roots, as it could saturate your scalp and leave an unpleasant aroma. Let it sit for 20 minutes and once the time is up, wash as you normally would, just like the previous mask; you do not need to use conditioner.
And now it's official, you already have a plan for next week. Take the time to try one of these treatments and you'll realize how good it will make you feel and how beautiful it will make you look.
