Why spend a small fortune on quality hair masks? Do-it-yourself hair treatments are easy to make and so affordable. Plus, you probably already have half of the ingredients in your pantry. And they’re oh-so-good for your hair because most of the ingredients are 100 percent natural.

Some natural ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry include: coconut oil, coconut milk, olive oil, and soy yogurt. Coconut oil and milk are both ideal for repairing damaged hair. They hydrate and give hair a lustrous shine. Olive oil isn’t just for cooking anymore — it actually helps lock in moisture and repair damaged split ends. And soy yogurt adds shine to your dull hair.
