Note: These are amazing for your hair but can be messy! I recommend applying at the beginning of your shower\/relaxing bath.\u00a0 Let the hair mask sit while you take your shower and then shampoo and condition last.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-239671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Brown-Sugar-Action.jpg\" alt=\"DIY hair mask with coconut oil and brown sugar ingredients\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" \/>\n<p><strong>1.
