Honey and Olive Oil Treatment for Dry/Damaged hair
- Mix the honey and olive oil together, and then warm over the stovetop or in the microwave for a few seconds. Mix again. Then apply from scalp to ends and leave on for 10–20 minutes before shampooing.
Honey, Coconut Oil, and Yogurt Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, using less coconut oil for shorter hair and more for longer hair. Massage into scalp and work through to ends, leaving on for 15 minutes before shampooing. Apply mask once a week or once every few weeks.
Banana and Honey Hair Mask
- Combine the above ingredients in a blender and mix until it reaches a pureed consistency. Apply from top of head to tips of hair with a hair dye brush. Leave on the hair for at least 10 minutes. Option: cover with shower cap for deeper penetration.
Notes
If you have trouble getting the oil out of your hair, I recommend using baking soda to break it down(simply sprinkle it on your scalp, and use your fingers to gently massage it along the length of your hair). Then shampoo and condition like you normally would.
Store any unused mask in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
