 Hey girlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee today and today. We're gonna be making our very own DIY hair mask now for my loyal subscribers you guys know that last year I started a deep conditioning challenge where I challenge you guys to do a hair mask or deep conditioning treatment Once a week every single week for a full year and then you guys showed me your results and they were amazing Now if you missed that challenge, it doesn't expire You could still continue to do that and or start this year And I'm gonna help you guys out because I'm getting a lot of excuses about not being able to find a deep conditioner They're too expensive. They're not sold where you live. Well, if we make one We're gonna cut out half of those excuses and this mask that we're gonna make today is also going to help with hair growth So for those of you that have already committed to my big chop challenge I know you want them inches and you want them fast. It is gonna take some time But using masks like this will help. So let's go ahead and get started. Let me show you my weapon of choice, which is Aloe vera you guys have seen me use aloe vera on my channel But on my skin when I did my aloe vera challenge on my face wearing it every day as a mask I made aloe vera ice cubes or rub the ice on my face every week and I got some very interesting results But it's only right since I have a hair channel to do a hair mask now The first thing you're gonna need obviously is an aloe vera lead. This was left over from my face mask And I thought I should use it before it goes bad I've been keeping it in the fridge that does help, but I got this at Whole Foods It was about $2. Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna cut off this big ugly chunky white part right here If you are not old enough to be using a knife, don't have one of your parents help you Voila and now we're gonna cut them into little chunks Aloe vera promotes hair growth prevents itchiness on the scalp and reduces dandruff So now when you cut it open, you'll see the aloe vera inside And that's everything that we're gonna want to use and I'm gonna cut off these side pieces and we're gonna cut off the spikes Aloe vera has a lot of benefits for your skin and your hair when it comes to your hair It's really good to help repair all the dead skin cells on your scalp and it also acts as a great conditioner leaves your hair very smooth and shiny Now to chop this up. I will be using a food processor You could use like a Nutribullet magic bullet little blender whatever you guys have and I'm gonna cut off this excess skin gently And then I'm gonna scrape out all the aloe vera So there is all the aloe vera full of all the nutrients that our hair And we're gonna keep doing this for every piece Think we've got all the aloe vera we need now to add to our math I'm gonna be using some olive oil. This is a hundred percent pure olive oil You could use extra virgin olive oil and I'm gonna use three tablespoons of this Olive oil is another oil. That's great for hair growth olive oil will help repair damaged hair prevent dandruff Fungus and any other scalp issues that leads to flakiness or dry scalp and now I'm also gonna add a little bit of some Jamaican black castor oil This is with shea butter. This is by pro claim and this is really good to help with hair growth as well especially for those edges And I'm gonna do one tablespoon of this All right now we're going to put on the top and mix it all up Separate the actual aloe vera gel from the other little pieces in there. So in order to do so I'm gonna use a Measuring cup and then you're gonna have to go to like a shoe store and steal. I mean Borrow one of those little like socks that they give you to try on shoes. You could buy a nylon I had a really hard time finding tights that were like thin like this and affordable So yeah, just go to a shoe store Try on some shoes that makes you feel better and use one of these little socks that they give you So I'm gonna put this all around and I'm gonna pour in my concoction And we're gonna strain it you could use a nylon or you also could get if you have like the cheese cloth or a strainer Right and this is where it gets pretty messy. So it's already separating Through the nylon, which is what we want and then you're just gonna squeeze out all the remaining gel Oh, yeah That's what we want that way the larger chunks Stay in the nylon. That seems good enough Here is all the excess aloe vera that we're not gonna use and now we have our perfect little mix so you could see The little watery but just enough hold to where it's gonna be easy to apply Now this is my first time adding oils to it and I do see that the oils are separating from the aloe vera So you could use the aloe vera first and then add your oil second if you want but at the end of the day They're all go in the same place Okay Now at this point it would be best to put it in a bottle with a nozzle something like this But I don't have one. I'm trying to use everything in-house to make a very diy So I do have these little travel size containers that I use when I travel so I'm just gonna put it up in here Oh This might be perfect Not bad. There you go. Your own DIY hair mask So now let me actually apply this to my hair now all the videos I watched a lot of people like to use it either as a Pre-poo or a hair mask and they're always applying it on dry hair and then detangling with a mask Now I personally like to always apply my hair mask after my hair has been cleansed and I conditioned in a tangle That weather isn't any dirt or product build-up on my scalp or my hair It's clean and it's already detangled and I thought that's just an easier way to apply the mask So I'm gonna shake this up a little bit trying to get that oil to cooperate and This is really good for your scalp. So I'm gonna start it right on the scalp Making messes. I guess I should section my hair. You guys know I'm not so good at sectioning Really rub it in there so our hair is nice and shiny little scalp massage My full bottle. I think my hair is completely saturated in my aloe vera and my oils Now I'm gonna put this up in a way and let it sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes grabbing just a plastic shower cap This is gonna help retain that moisture and since we are doing everything DIY I know not all of you have a thermal hair care heat cap Which looks like this you throw it in the microwave and it retains the heat that way when you put it on your hair It kind of opens up your hair shafts allowing all the product to really penetrate your hair I'll put the link below if you guys look and get one of these But if you don't have one of these what you could do is just grab a blow dryer I personally prefer the heat cap that way I could walk around my stuff to a plug But if you absolutely can't get one You could use your blow dryer and just blow it all around your hair while you have on your shower cap Maybe a good hour actually I got a little sidetracked, but you know it's all good and this is how my hair looks now So on the top I notice it's so Shiny definitely more like plump and moisturized and when I first started I'll show you a little before and after photo This is how my hair was right before my treatment just wet no product and this is how it looks now after using the treatment It's shiny The smell is not there which I'm glad because I wasn't really a fan of the aloe vera or the Jamaican black castor oil smell So water was able to kind of like rinse that out didn't have a lingering smell But at this point I'm going to add my stylers come back and show you the final results So now I'm back after I applied my products, but it's still drying So I'm gonna have to come back tomorrow and show you the finished result And I'm back it is now day two because my hair just takes so long to dry But now that I've styled it fluffed it out I think it looks amazing using that massing my hair so shiny And I really feel like if I continue to use this once a week I will see significant hair growth and probably a healthier scalp. So now I don't want to hear any excuses from why you can't deep condition Once a week stick to your deep conditioning challenge if you just did my big chop challenge I'm so proud of you. We're gonna get those curls back and pop it But you got to commit to using things on your hair that's gonna benefit them and make it grow And now you have an easy affordable DIY hair mask to do at home with some aloe vera Some olive oil and some essential oils feel free to experiment with jojoba oil, Jamaica black castor oil Lavender oil coconut oil some people add avocado Banana there's so many different ways to do a DIY mask Do your research make one and see what works best for your hair and don't get crazy be putting things that you just like like You know barbecue sauce and tuna, but uh, you know, if it's beneficial to your hair Throw it in there.
