1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon light sesame oil
1 whole egg
1 tablespoon coconut milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl (or blender). Apply to wet, freshly shampooed hair. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes (or overnight!). Rinse and shampoo off.
Variation: If you're short on time (or ingredients) just replace any of the oils with any single oil that you like.
Why it Works: Olive oil is a very good moisturizer and gives a non-greasy emolience and shine to hair. Sesame oil has moisturizing properties as well as being one of the natural oils being in sunscreen properties (only mink oil is said to be higher). The coconut oil and milk provides a protective layer by locking in the hair's natural moisture that preserves the hair. Coconut oil has also proven to be a good anti-inflammatory. Honey is a natural humectant (it attracts moisture) and the egg also help moisturize the hair and scalp, and helps emulsify water and oil components in the mix.
