Natural Hair Treatment

Natural Hair Treatment
Naturally get shiny, silky, strong, healthy looking hair

What you need:
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil (moisturizes and shines hair)
  • 1 big spoon of mayonnaise (when made with eggs, the protein softens hair)
  • 1 tea spoon of honey (organic and raw is best- adds shine and moistens, antibacterial)
  • 2 egg yolks (softens hair)
  • 1 very ripe Avocado (hydrates hair...pantothenic acid have been shown to reduce gray hair and folic acid helps in normal growth and maintenance of all cells)
  • 1 very ripe banana (deep conditions...make sure you mash it up Really good)
  • 1-2 tbs or so of your favorite hair conditioner (I would recommend using an organic healthy hair conditioner)
How to use it
Add all ingredients together and stir until blended up into a smooth paste
Apply all over hair and leave in for several hours...1/2 hr Minimum, you can leave it in all day if you have the day to spare...the longer the better.  You should tie your hair in a bun out of your way. When I did mine I left it in for quite sometime, so the olive oil dripped down my neck and sides of face, which was totally fine with me, I just rubbed it into my neck and around my face...which both became super soft! Olive oil is great for your skin.
Rinse it out and your hair well and it will leave it silky smooth:)
 It didn't smell bad at all either...some people say mayo hair masks smell bad...mine smelled delicious!
 
Tips- Don't forget to blend it really well before applying, you don't want  banana or avocado chunks in your hair, it will be a nightmare to rinse out.  
A general tip, after conditioning your hair, rinse it out with cool water. This will seal the cuticles and prevent frizz and dryness.
