Creating this hair mask is as easy as brewing your morning coffee—only this time, you’re brewing a recipe for gorgeous hair. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth, effective application:
Prepare the Onion Paste
Peel one medium-sized onion and chop it into small pieces. Blend it into a smooth, lump-free paste using a blender or food processor. The smoother the paste, the easier it will be to apply evenly to your scalp. If you don’t have a blender, finely grating the onion works too—just be prepared for a few tears!
Mix the Magic Blend
In a small bowl, combine the onion paste with two tablespoons of finely ground coffee and one tablespoon of your chosen oil (olive or coconut). Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a thick, uniform paste. The coffee grounds add texture, while the oil ensures the mask glides smoothly onto your hair and scalp.
Apply with Care
Part your hair into sections for even application. Using your fingers or a brush, apply the mixture directly to your scalp, massaging gently in circular motions to stimulate blood flow. Work the mask through the length of your hair, focusing on areas that need extra care, like dry ends or thinning spots. The massage not only feels relaxing but also enhances the mask’s effectiveness by boosting circulation.
Let It Work Its Magic
Once applied, cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap to trap heat and help the mask penetrate deeply. Leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your preference. For a more intensive treatment, lean toward the full hour to allow the nutrients to fully absorb.
Rinse and Refresh
Rinse the mask thoroughly with lukewarm water to avoid scalp irritation from hot water. Follow up with a gentle shampoo to remove any residue, and finish with a conditioner to lock in moisture. For an extra touch, opt for a scented conditioner to counteract the onion’s lingering aroma.
Consistency Is Key
