What is a home remedy for extremely dry hair?

To make an at home mask for dry hair blend an avocado, a banana, 1 tablespoon of wheatgerm oil and a few drops of essential oil such as rose or lavender. After shampooing hair, apply the mask to hair and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it out.

When rinsing out the mask, it helps to put a paper towel over the drain to catch bits of avocado and banana. Wearing a shower cap over the mask while it sits helps keep things clean as well. Other moisture-rich ingredients that can be used in an at home hair mask include sunflower oil, egg yolks and maple syrup.
