A beauty guru with enviably long hair has revealed the DIY mask she used to help her hair grow faster.
She says the simple homemade treatment will keep your hair frizz-free and moisturized.
Ciera Wilson (@itscierawilson) has amassed over 16,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares self-care tips.
She used her eyes to determine how much of each ingredient should be poured into the glass bowl to give the hair an effective treatment.
“How to grow hair fast and moisturize it at home,” reads the text on the screen.
“Olive oil, honey, Greek yogurt, coconut oil, hair serum.”
The beauty enthusiast used just a few drops of The Lyfestyle Co. Detox Hair Serum ($79 at Verishop).
The product description says, “A hydrating elixir for the scalp and hair made from nutrient-rich botanical oils such as argan oil and almond oil.”
“This plant-based formula stimulates and soothes dry, itchy scalp.
“Promotes healthy hair growth, soothes frayed hair shafts, and strengthens hair to prevent future breakage.”

Sierra mixed all five ingredients together to a yellow consistency and applied it to her wet hair with her hands.
She recommended leaving the mask on for 30 minutes to an hour before washing off.
“I usually do this once a week, when I feel like my hair really needs some moisture, or before the day I wash my hair,” she said.
More than 9,400 viewers liked the video, and many left in the comments section saying they wanted to try it themselves.
“Does it work without hair serum?” one person asked.
“Yes!!! All the ingredients are good for your hair,” Sierra replied.
“Hey, so would just braiding it and rubbing it along the scalp help?” another person asked.
“It's still effective if you can wash it out after a period of time, but it really helps control moisture and frizz,” Sierra replied.
“How do you wash it properly?” asked a third.
“Make sure to rinse thoroughly, then use your regular shampoo and conditioner as usual,” says Sierra.
The DIY mask recipe comes in the wake of an article published by Healthline that found coconut oil may improve the health and condition of your hair.
Studies have shown that coconut oil can help prevent protein loss, moisturize hair, and reduce hair breakage.
However, only anecdotal evidence and cultural traditions support the benefits of using yogurt in hair masks.
