Coffee Hair Mask

I know, it sounds weird to put coffee grounds in your hair. However, the caffeine is an excellent stimulant for your scalp that boosts shine, repairs damage, and increases hair growth. You can achieve these benefits two ways. The first is by adding some coffee grounds (unused) to your shampoo or you can create a mask.

I created a mask using four ingredients: my regular shampoo, unused coffee grounds, Epsom salts, and baking soda. The baking soda and Epsom salts are optional, but both have added benefits for your scalp and locks. Baking soda will help rid your hair of product build up, while Epsom salts add volume and build shine.

Materials
1 Tablespoon of Coffee Grounds
1 Tablespoon of Shampoo
1/2 Tablespoon of Epsom Salts
1/4 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
.
I leave the mask on 5-10 minutes while I shower, remove, then condition as usual. As someone with extremely fine and flat hair, there was a noticeable difference in volume after I blew my hair out. Give it a try and let me know what you think!


The finished product should look something like this.
