There’s nothing as wonderful as basking in the summer sun and heading to the beach and pool all summer long, but there’s no doubt your locks take a beating. From salt water to chlorine and the drying rays of the sun, sometimes summer hair can use a little TLC. So what’s better than whipping up some natural hair masks at home? Treat your scalp and hair right with these delicious natural solutions.
When your scalp is dry and itchy:
Ingredients: Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Water
Directions: Mix 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil and 2 Tbsp water, and massage into damp scalp. Let mixture sit for 20 minutes, then rinse and shampoo hair. Treatment can be applied every other week.

When you need to restore and repair…go bananas.
Ingredients:
1 to 2 overripe bananas
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
Blend the bananas very smoothly, until there are absolutely no chunks or teeny banana pieces. This is not the recipe to be cutting corners—put in the time for the fine blending. Add the honey and coconut and olive oil to your delicious mixture and blend again. Slather the smoothie into your hair, and let it settle and sink into your scalp for at least five minutes.
Thoroughly rinse the mixture out with warm water. Afterward, take your time to comb through your hair. You want to make sure you have removed any pieces you may not have blended thoroughly.
Do a final rinse. Because bananas smell delicious, you need not shampoo.
