In pursuit of healthy and radiant hair, turning to natural ingredients can be a game-changer. Natural ingredients have been used for centuries to promote healthy and nourished hair due to their gentle and non-irritating nature. They are rich in essential nutrients, moisturize the hair, and improve scalp health, creating a favourable environment for healthy hair growth.
Several natural ingredients, including Rosemary Oil, Peppermint Oil, Horsetail Extract, Ginkgo Extract, Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Grape Seed Oil, and Kakadu Plum Seed Oil, promote hair growth by improving blood circulation to the scalp and supporting hair follicle health. Additionally, these ingredients protect against hair damage and maintain the hair's natural balance.
Natural remedies are particularly helpful when our hair becomes damaged, dry, or frizzy. The change in seasons, indoor heat, outdoor elements and hot hair tools are only some of the culprits that can cause these challenges. Luckily, you can head straight to your kitchen for everyday ingredients that you can whip into a DIY hair mask to fix your mane using a few simple pantry staples.
Here are 5 of the best tried and tested natural treatments:
Nourishing Avocado Hair Mask:
Avocado is a powerhouse of nutrients that promote hair growth and shine. Mash one ripe avocado and mix it with two tablespoons of organic coconut oil. Apply the mixture to damp hair, focusing on the ends. Leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with warm water and wash with a natural sulphate-free and pH-balanced shampoo, like Pure Earth Gentle or Hydrating Shampoo.
Strengthening Banana and Honey Hair Treatment:
Bananas are rich in vitamins and minerals, while honey provides hydration and shine. Blend one ripe banana with one tablespoon of raw honey until you get a smooth paste. Massage the mixture into your scalp and hair, covering it with a shower cap. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water and cleansing with a natural pH-balanced and sulfate-free shampoo.
Revitalizing Aloe Vera and Yogurt Hair Mask:
Aloe vera soothes the scalp and promotes hair health, while yogurt adds moisture and lustre. Mix two tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel with half a cup of plain yogurt. Apply it evenly to your hair and scalp, leaving it on for 45 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and wash with a natural pH-balanced and sulphate-free shampoo.
Balancing Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse:
Apple cider vinegar helps balance the pH of the scalp and promotes shiny hair. Mix two tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar with one cup of water. After shampooing pour the mixture over your hair, massaging it into your scalp. Rinse thoroughly and enjoy the natural shine.
Soothing Chamomile and Lavender Scalp Treatment:
Chamomile and lavender have calming properties, ideal for soothing an irritated scalp. Brew a strong cup of chamomile tea and add a few drops of lavender essential oil. After shampooing, apply the mixture to your scalp, gently massaging it in. Leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing with cool water and using Pure Earth's scalp-friendly Gentle Conditioner.

When You Want the Same Result Without the Kitchen
Every recipe above works — but each one asks something of you. A ripe avocado. A blender. Twenty to forty-five minutes. A shower you don't mind wiping down afterwards. Some weeks you have that in you, and some weeks you simply don't.
That's what our Deep Nourishing Hair Treatment is for. Same idea as a DIY mask — botanical, deeply conditioning, no silicones — but formulated to work in three to five minutes and to give you the same result every single time, regardless of what's in the fruit bowl.
It's a Gold winner at the Clean + Conscious Awards, an Australian program that judges products on clean formulation and sustainability rather than marketing budget. We're quietly proud of that one.
What's in it: Davidson Plum, an antioxidant-rich Australian native, alongside Yerba Maté and Coffee Seed extracts, with Argan Oil to smooth the cuticle and seal in moisture. Because there are no silicones, it conditions the hair itself rather than coating it — so nothing builds up over time.
How to use it: after shampooing and conditioning, squeeze out the excess water. Work the treatment through from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the scalp. Leave it three to five minutes, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water to close the cuticle and lock in the shine. Once or twice a week is plenty.
It comes in a 500ml infinitely recyclable aluminium bottle, is vegan, cruelty-free and made in Australia, and is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee — so if your hair doesn't agree with us, you're not out of pocket.
Use the recipes above on the weeks you have time, and keep this on the shelf for the weeks you don't. Both are good hair days.

A DIY mask still needs a shampoo to rinse it out with. If the price of a natural one has ever given you pause, we ran the numbers on our own — by the wash, not by the bottle. Read the real cost of natural shampoo in Australia →
