A beauty guru with enviably shiny hair has revealed the homemade mask she swears by to keep her hair healthy.
She demonstrated the process of making DIY treatments using affordable materials. Three of them are ones that most people already have in their kitchen.
According to Healthline, hair masks are especially effective for dry, damaged, or frizzy hair because they restore moisture.
While most instant conditioners only last for a few minutes, masks last for over 20 minutes.
Off-the-shelf options may seem like an easy solution, but they can contain chemicals and preservatives.
TikToker Silly Stars (@sillystars18) only has three videos on her account, but it went viral on the app after she shared a homemade hair mask.
She created a treatment that mixes five affordable ingredients to keep your hair shiny.
She added one egg, one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of natural yogurt, one teaspoon of coconut oil, and a few drops of castor oil to the container.
At Walmart, eggs are $2.88, jars of honey are $7.98, natural yogurt is $1.43, coconut oil is $5.98, and castor oil is $2.78.
This beauty enthusiast said eggs “improve” hair elasticity, honey adds shine, yogurt moisturizes, coconut oil soothes dandruff, and castor oil stimulates growth.

The TikToker did not reveal how long she left the mask on her hair before washing it off.
According to Medical News Today, the protein in eggs nourishes them and adds shine, while the fat increases tenderness.
