beauty / coffee hair mask


What if I told you that the coffee grounds you use to make that sweet sweet energizing nectar in the morning can be used at night to make your hair fine as hellll? Would you believe me? DAMN STRAIGHT YOU WOULD! 

Coffee is a natural energizer (hence why we drink it in the morning) and if you ever feel your hair is limp, dull or not growing fast enough, you can actually apply coffee grounds to your scalp and you'll see immediate improvements. Or, if your not looking for a mess (cause, holy shit is there a mess) you can simply rinse your hair in cold down, freshly brewed drank.

Benefits: 
  • FLUFFY: Coffee grounds are coarse and when you put them on your scalp it rubs away some of the build up from years of using product after product.
  • GROWTH: The caffeine in the grounds draws blood to the scalp when it is applied directly on your head. Over time, your hair molecules are energized and grow faster. 
  • SHINE: I don't know why, and I don' know how BUT coffee makes hair so shiny and alive...I can't even handle it. 
  • COLOUR: Coffee beans are naturally strong in colour, so when you apply it toyour hair it does darken it a teeny tiny bit. So, not really a great method for blonds, but brunettes, get on it! Also, it's very beneficial for those who are starting to show greys! 
Methods: 

PASTE
  • 3 Tbls of grounds 
  • Your fave conditioner (Use enough to make a thick paste, use your discretion) 
  • 1/2 a lemon
  • 2 eggs
Mix that shit together, wrap your head in plastic wrap OR a plastic bag (please, do not cover your nose or mouth...mistakes), put a towel on your pillow, go to sleep.
Wake up, wash your hair as per usual (rub somewhat roughly so your scalp really feels it), let your hair dry, style, vacuum the HUGE mess you made with those grounds, look at your sexy hair in the mirror.

GROUNDS:
  • 1 Tbls of grounds
  • Conditioner 
Mix conditioner and coffee grounds together in a bowl (we're not animals) enter shower, shampoo, rinse, grab mixture and use it like you would conditioner, wash until it's all gone, look at your sexy hair in the mirror.

LIQUID:
Brew coffee like you normally would.
Once you've got that done, make yourself a nice cup and drink that while you wait for the rest of it to cool down. Once cooled, rinse your hair with the coffee and squeeze out access liquid, before wrapping your hair in plastic wrap or a plastic bag (again, not the face). Let this sit for 20 to 30 minutes while you go on Facebook and write a post about having coffee in your hair (Ex. "holy shit, I have coffee in my hair. This shit BEST work"). Rinse out your hair and BOOM you're in shine city.

Hope this is helpful!! Have a beautiful day.
