Hair product buildup is the main culprit for lifeless locks. Here is how I bring back the natural gloss of  my hair with this simple citrus hair mask. Use a blender to mix the juice of half an orange and half a lemon, add 1 tbs of olive oil and 2 tbs of green tea leaves and 2 tbs cocoa butter (Theobroma Cacao).
















Apply the paste on your hair strands. Start massaging your scalp in a circular motion. Leave the treatment on for 15 minutes, then wash it off with lukewarm water.

Why the chosen ingredients? 

Lemons - are good for your hair, as it helps in removing dandruff. Rubbing or massaging lemon juice on your hair regulates the blood in your head helping in hair growth. The glands are regulated too which help in producing oil to have a beautiful and shiny hair




Orange – gives you a shiny, full head of hair.

Olive Oil - nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair.
Green tea - maintains hair follicles and promotes hair growth.

Cocoa Butter - Many of you are already familiar with the health benefits of green tea, and you may have noticed that it’s showing up in a growing number of hair and skin-care products. You might not be familiar with the fact that cocoa has more flavanoids, which means you are gaining a huge antioxidant boost from cacao-imbued products. In fact, chocolate may well be the best available source of flavanoid to use as a dietary ingredient, so just think of what that could do for your hair and skin.




This is my hair after the treatment....

  1. Hello Adele, its lovely to meet you, thanks for following and commenting on..Love Leigh! Will def check out your blog as soon as i've responded.

    I know lemons make a great natural hair lightener, If your hair is damaged and brittle from too much dying or using styling tools instead of using peroxide to bleach your hair try lemons instead. As lemons are highly acidic and will lighten your hair naturally without harsh chemicals.
