Honey Lengthening Mask:

"Natural honey contains many beneficial ingredients that enhance shine and hair growth," says celebrity stylist and salon owner Adel Chabbi of Adel Atelier in NYC. So, while you could be using the sweet treat made by bees to help bring your hair down to your knees, Chabbi recommends kicking it up a notch by using onions. Yes, onions. According to Chabbi, the vegetable helps "activate the hair follicles and speed up the growing process." Here's how:

1. Place a container with two to three tablespoons of honey in a hot bowl of water to warm it up.

2. Grate one onion, then stir it into the melted honey.

3. Apply it to your scalp and let it sit for an hour before washing it out with shampoo in the shower.

Coconut Restoring Mask

Before good old quarantine, most of us were exposing our hair to a lot, and when I say a lot, I mean hot tools, pollution, and whatever else came its way. "From time to time you have to restore the hair structure because it is influenced by many external factors," says Chabbi. Which means it's never too early or late to give your hair a reset, like with this coconut restoring mask.

1. Take one tablespoon of coconut oil and another of olive oil and combine them in a bowl.

2. Add three to four drops of vitamins A and E oils into the same bowl and mix.

3. Apply the mask to the length of the hair while avoiding your scalp, and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing it out.
