How Do You Make a Lemon Hair Mask?

A simple lemon hair mask can be made with just three ingredients: honey, lemon juice, and water.

Ingredients and Instructions

This recipe uses readily available ingredients to create a nourishing and potentially brightening hair mask:

• Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup water

• Instructions:

  1. Combine the honey, lemon juice, and water in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. After washing and conditioning your hair, apply the mixture evenly throughout your hair, focusing on the areas that need the most attention.

Benefits of a Lemon Hair Mask

While this specific recipe doesn't detail the benefits, lemon juice is often associated with adding shine and potentially lightening hair color. Honey acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture. The water helps to dilute the lemon juice, preventing potential scalp irritation. Remember, individual results may vary.
