The issue: Grease. If you are prone to greasy hair, an egg mask can work wonders, says Saltzman. Stick with just the whites, which have protein enzymes that help remove excess oil. Ingredients: 1 egg white, juice from half a lemon. Directions: Smooth over hair from roots to ends and leave on for 30 minutes to an hour — longer is better. Rinse with lukewarm water, not hot!

The issue: Irritated scalp. While green tea has a laundry list of health benefits, you can add scalp soother to the list, says Sadah Saltzman, a hair stylist at Salon AKS in New York City. Thanks to its antioxidants and nutrients, this powerful ingredient calms and rebalances an irritated scalp. Peppermint oil is the perfect complement; it has anti-inflammatory properties and helps soothe and hydrate a dry scalp. Ingredients: 1 cup of green tea, 2 drops of peppermint oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Directions: Mix well, massage into scalp and let sit for at least five minutes before rinsing.

Let it sit for 30 to 45 minutes and rinse. Aim to do this mask at least once a week.
