Hair Masque with a Kick!

My favorite days are the ones I get to try out little beauty secrets!!!

Secret of the Day... 
"COFFEE HAIR MASQUE"

Last month I featured a body scrub with coffee, which made my skin super soft and is supposed to increase blood flow and reduce cellulite. 

I did a little more research on coffee grounds and in addition to using them as a body scrub, you can use coffee as a hair masque/rinse too.

Note:  This is masque/rinse is for brunettes since the coffee will stain blond hair.

Benefits of a Coffee Masque on hair:

1.  Promotes hair growth and reduces shedding, caffeine blocks DHT
2.  Adds luster and rich color to brunette hair.

Hair Rinse Mixture:

1 Cup Coffee Grounds
Hot Water
3 Tablespoons
Conditioner
1 Avocado
1 Banana

Shower Cap
Towel
20 Minutes - Overnight



What I Noticed:
1.  My hair does feel super soft, I'm not sure if it was the coffee, or the banana/avocado or the combo of all three.
2.  The Coffee Granules were like sand in my hair, LOL it took FOREVER to wash them out.
3.  It is supposed to tint your hair a little darker but I didn't notice any change.
4.  My hair smells like coffee, which will wear off in a day or so. 

Special Thanks to 7 Club Spa, Salt Lake City and their trained professionals who helped.
