Charcoal Hair Treatment Recipe

 

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 tablespoons activated charcoal powder
• 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ½ cup plain yogurt or conditioner base
• 5–6 drops essential oil (optional, such as lavender or rosemary for fragrance and scalp benefits)

INSTRUCTION:

1. Prepare the base: In a clean bowl, combine yogurt or conditioner with aloe vera gel. Mix until smooth.
2. Add charcoal: Slowly stir in activated charcoal powder, blending thoroughly to avoid clumps.
3. Incorporate oils: Add melted coconut oil, olive oil, and honey. Mix until the mask has a creamy, spreadable consistency.
4. Optional fragrance: Add a few drops of essential oil for a pleasant scent and additional scalp benefits.
5. Application:
   • Dampen hair slightly before applying.
   • Section hair and apply the mask evenly from roots to ends, massaging gently into the scalp.
   • Ensure full coverage for best results.
6. Processing time: Leave the mask on for 30–45 minutes. Cover hair with a shower cap to prevent mess and allow deeper penetration.
7. Rinse thoroughly: Wash out with lukewarm water, followed by a gentle shampoo and conditioner.
8. Dry and style: Allow hair to air dry or style as usual.

SERVINGS:
