Repairing Hair Mask

This is probably going to be one of my more gross tutorials. The reason being is that you first need to go three days without washing your hair. So I'd suggest doing this during Spring break/ Summer/ Christmas/ Thanksgiving vacation. I'd also suggest keeping your hair tied back off of your face so that the oils in your hair don't get on your face and cause you to break out.

the mixture-
  • one egg
  • extra virgin olive oil (the amount will vary depending on the length of your hair. I basically just eye ball it.)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • some milk (I don't measure this one, either.)
  • 2 tablespoon of coconut oil
So after you let your hair go unwashed for three days, mix the above ingredients as best as possible. It may take awhile to melt the coconut oil, unless you bought it pre-liquefied. Than you're gonna put in the microwave for a minute. The reason you heat it up, is so that it gets to the shaft of your hair easier and repairs your hair faster. Apply to your hair using your hands and when you get most of it in your hair, flip your head upside down and pour the rest over your bottom hair line. Tie/clip your hair back, and wrap your head in a towel. Let it sit for an hour and wash it out with your regular shampoo/conditioner.

So the reason why your letting your hair get gross and greasy, is because it's producing the most important ingredient of the mask- natural hair oils. This will mix with the mask and help repair damage caused by heat and bleaching/coloring your hair. I'd also follow this with a face mask just incase you did get hair oil on your face.
