Coconut Hair Masks

Coconut milk is great for keeping hair soft and shiny and it´s especially good for dry hair.

You can easily make your own nutritious coconut milk from dehydrated coconut using the NutraMilk, then you simply add a few ingredients and you have yourself a nourishing hair mask.

You can use just the coconut milk on its own since it´s pure and fresh. You can add your favorite essential oil even though it smells so good on its own or you can add a few more ingredients. Here is one recipe we like:
