Summer is a very difficult time for our hair. Sun, warm air, wind, salt or chlorinated water, unfortunately, do not have a good impact on it, so before going on vacation, it is good to prepare our hair for it. Then it will be much easier for them to survive this difficult time. But that's not all, our hair needs support throughout the summer, which is why I would like you to meet some great masks that will perfectly improve the condition of your hair.

Here are four summer masks that you can easily prepare at home

1. Banana + honey + yogurt

Thanks to these products you can easily prepare a mask that will bring relief and improve the condition not only of dry hair, but also the scalp. Unfortunately, sun and summer is a time when the hair dries up a lot, due to frequent contact with chlorine, salt water and plenty of sun. 

That is why it is worth spending some time and prepare a mask that moisturizes, nourishes and strengthens your hair, reducing its crumbling and falling out. 

Prepare one banana, about 5-6 tablespoons honey and half cup thick yogurt. Blend the banana to form a smooth puree. Banana particles are very difficult to wash from the hair, so the mass must be really smooth. When the banana is ready, add the remaining products and mix everything very thoroughly. Apply the mask to your hair, perform a gentle scalp massage and leave it on for about 20 minutes.

2. Peach + yogurt

This is a mask that will bring relief to dry itchy scalp and give your hair a healthy glow, while perfectly moisturizing and nourishing it. Prepare yourself two ripe peaches and a few tablespoons of thick yogurt. Blend peeled peaches to a smooth mass and mix thoroughly with yogurt. Massage the prepared cosmetics into the hair and scalp, wrap the head in foil and wait 15-20 minutes.

3. Egg yolks and olive oil

A great way for split ends and dry matte hair. 

Prepare yourself 2-3 eggs and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. We prepare the mask for improving the condition of dry hair from yolks, so you must first carefully separate them from proteins. When this step is over, mix the yolks thoroughly and add the olive oil to them. Let's try to combine the ingredients used to make the mask very carefully. 

We rub the prepared cosmetic into the hair, remembering especially about damaged ends. Wait 15-20 minutes and wash your hair, and then rinse at the very end with cool water. Such a treatment will cause hair scales to close, thanks to which they will not only be wonderfully shiny, but also protected against harmful external factors.

4. Aloe + honey + yogurt

These three products are enough to create the perfect mask that will take care of your hair and scalp. Thanks to it, you will not only deal with irritation caused by salt water, chlorine or excess sun, but also moisturize and nourish your hair. Prepare a few large leaves of aloe, wash them thoroughly and carefully cut the green skin with a sharp knife.

The transparent pulp obtained in this way combine with honey (about 3 tablespoons) and thick yogurt (about 3 tablespoons). Massage the mask into your hair and scalp and leave for 20 minutes.
