Autumn (fall for our american friends) is the perfect time and perfect season for a new hair mask recipe… Today’s recipe is a simple DIY pumpkin hair mask with pumpkin, shea butter, coconut oil and castor oil.

At this point you could blend anything and make a hair mask right?So here is why you should use pumpkin:

This simple DIY pumpkin hair mask can be used as a conditioner after shampooing because it is easier to apply on wet/ damp hair. Let is sit for 15-20 minutes or be like me and let it sit until you forget it’s in your hair. After that, rinse it out and apply a leave in conditioner in your hair and allow your hair to air dry ready for styling the next day!
