One of my favorite DIY hair masks for winter is the ultimate frizz fighter. Static doesn't have to be your enemy any longer if you use this mask every few weeks. Plus, it moisturizes and strengthens hair. Combine the meat of a well ripened avocado with one tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well and apply to clean hair. Leave on for 30 minutes and shampoo out.
Apple cider vinegar might sound too drying, but it's great at removing gunky build-up that makes your hair look dull. The honey revives it so you have super clean, smooth and healthy hair. Mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon of olive oil and two tablespoons of honey. Apply evenly to clean hair and leave on 20-30 minutes. Shampoo out.
Give your hair an instant health and shine boost with this super tasty mask. Honestly, it really does taste good. Start with two ripe bananas, two tablespoons of honey and a half a cup of milk. Mix extremely well and apply evenly to clean hair. Leave on for 20 minutes and shampoo out. What I love most is the light, sweet scent left behind.
While it might not sound appetizing, it'll make your hair super soft and eliminate winter dryness. Don't use this more than once a week or you might end up with oily hair instead. Mix half a cup of mayonnaise with two tablespoons of honey. Apply evenly to clean hair and leave on for 30 minutes. Shampoo out. With this one, you might not even need your regular conditioner.
This is one of the simplest masks to make on this entire list. Plus, it leaves your hair soft, frizz free and ultra shiny. Smash one ripe banana and add in 1-3 drops of almond oil. Apply evenly to hair and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse the mask out with soda water to really get the most benefit from the mask and remove any excess oil. Shampoo as usual.
If the cold winter temperatures have already damaged your hair, heal it quickly with this simple, yet effective mask. This one is a little harder to apply because the mix will be thick. Combine one tablespoon of oatmeal, one tablespoon of milk and one tablespoon of almond oil. If you have naturally oily hair, use about half as much almond oil. Apply and leave on for 20 minutes. Shampoo out.
Nothing is quite as effective at giving you shiny hair as bananas and mayonnaise. Combine them and you'll look like a celebrity. Plus, your hair will love the added moisture.

Use a dry scalp shampoo for extra relief.
