If you notice alarming amount of hair on your hair brush when you comb your hair in the morning that means that you may have problem called hair loss. The causes of hair loss can be different, they can be connected with a health problem such as hormonal disorders, genetic predisposition, some kind of illness, stress, or it can be caused by aggressive and harsh hair products and treatments. If your hair loss is caused by a health problem, then you need to talk to your doctor.
If your hair loss is caused by using harsh hair products, bleaching your hair or using heat tools too often, then a nice natural homemade hair mask might help. One thing you need to remember is that the hair loss problem won’t be fixed by using a hair mask just once, regrowing your hair is a slow process and you have to be patient. Here are a few homemade hair treatments against hair loss:
Homemade hair mask against hair loss with avocado and egg yolk
This homemade hair mask will make your hair stronger and healthier. You will need one ripe avocado and one egg yolk. Mash the avocado very well and run it through a sieve to make it really smooth (if you leave chunks in our avocado paste, it will be very hard to get them out of your hair). Mix the avocado puree with one egg yolk and apply the mixture to your roots and all the way to the ends. Put a shower cap on and leave the hair mask for 30-40 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water (don’t use too hot water so you won’t ‘cook’ the egg) and wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner as usual.
Homemade hair mask against hair loss with egg yolk and castor oil
Castor oil is one of the most used oils for hair growth. It is also used as an eyelash growth treatment too. For this homemade hair mask against hair loss you will need: 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of castor oil. You can also add 1 teaspoon of Vitamin A (if you can’t find liquid Vitamin A, you can take 3-4 softgel capsules of Vitamin A, poke them with a safety pin and squeeze the oil), but if you don’t have vitamin A on hand, you can skip it.
Beat the egg yolk and add the oil little by little until you get a mayonnaise like consistency. Apply this homemade hair mask on your scalp. Leave it for 1-2 hours and wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner.
Homemade hair mask against hair loss with banana and egg yolk
You will need one ripe banana and one egg yolk. Mash the banana very well and run it through a sieve to make a really smooth paste (banana chunks are also hard to get out of your hair, especially if you have long hair). Mix the banana paste with one egg yolk and apply the hair mask on your hair, put a shower cap on and leave it for 30-40 minutes. Rinse the homemade hair mask with lukewarm water and wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner.

You’ll notice that your hair is softer and shinier after the first use.
Homemade hair mask against hair loss with castor oil, brandy and egg

It might not smell really nice, but you can mask the onion smell with few drops of your favorite essential oil. Mix 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of castor oil, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed onion juice (you can grate 1/2 onion and squeeze the juice) and 1 teaspoon of honey.

Homemade hair mask with butter, egg yolk and royal jelly
Using butter on your hair might sound scary, but actually it is amazing. It moisturizes the hair and it makes it very strong, soft and shiny. If you don’t want to use unsalted butter on your hair, you can use shea butter or coconut oil. Melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (or shea butter or coconut oil), but be careful not to burn it. Remove from it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Just before it hardens, add 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of royal jelly. This homemade hair mask can be applied from the roots to the ends. Leave it on your hair for 30-40 minutes (or 1-2 hours if you have time) and wash your hair with shampoo. This homemade hair mask is so rich, you don’t even have to use a conditioner (but you can still use it). This homemade hair mask is a also a great treatment for very damaged and brittle hair. If your hair gets oily very fast, don’t apply it to the roots, just on the ends of your hair.
