Hey ya!
Long and sexy hair is a thing to be envied in our society. Everybody wants it. Just check Pinterest and see how many pictures of long, beautiful hair pins you will find. Luckily, I got the “long” part down. The problem is my hair is extremely coarse and dry (think straw) , so it definitely ranks low on the sexy scale. I have used so many products from serums, oils, creams, sprays, and masks to add softness and shine to my hair with little success. Many of the products worked well in terms of shine, but they would also tend to weigh down my hair or make my hair really oily. Do not get me wrong, I have found some good products over the years but my absolute favorite has been a DIY.
Behold the avocado, egg yolk and olive oil mask.
Seems simple right? It is . This hair mask has been around forever, however I never actually tried it until recently.
Ingredients
-about 1/8 of a cup of olive oil
– 1/4 of an avocado
– and one egg yolk
First, you mask up avocado really well, mix with egg yolk and mix in olive oil, then spread on to hair. I mostly concentrate the mixture on the bottom half of my hair and my bangs, then I put my hair in a bun, and leave the mixture on there for about 30 minutes. Then wash thoroughly in shower with warm water then continue with your normal shampoo and conditioner routine.
The only downside to this mask is the smell… ewwww, but I have found if you add a couple drops of lavender, orange, or jasmine (of course) oil, it will take care of the nasty egg smell. Besides that, this mask is fantastic. It makes my hair so soft and silky.
