Ultimate Hair Mask

Last night I tried out a natural DIY hair mask. This mask contained the ultimate ingredients for super healthy hair:

Eggs: 

Eggs are rich in protein, the high amount of protein from the raw egg helps rebuild your hair follicles and heal split ends. Eggs are also said to help your hair grow, as well as add shine, thicken, and strengthen your hair.

Coconut Oil: 

Coconut oil has numerous benefits for your hair, ranging from: hair growth, softening, shine, and helping with split ends. Coconut oil helps seal in moisturizer in your hair, provides natural nutrients which help soften your hair. Coconut oil contains vitamin K, vitamin E, and iron which helps eliminate dandruff as well as helping your hair growth.

Olive Oil: 

Olive oil is a natural conditioner for the hair and promotes scalp health. Olive oil has plenty of antioxidants which are essential to keeping the skin of your scalp in healthy shape. Olive oil can help your hair get shiny and very soft. Olive oil massages can improve the blood circulation in your scalp. This increased blood flow can stimulate the follicles, which then produce thicker strands.

The combination of eggs, coconut oil, and olive oil give your hair the best possible combination for having your healthiest hair.  My results were incredible, my hair was incredibly soft, shiny, voluminous, and it shockingly felt thicker (after one use). I absolutely LOVED this hair mask, and will continue to use this method when I want the ultimate hair mask treatment for my hair.

Ingredients:

-  1-2 raw eggs (depending on how much protein you want in your hair/the length of your hair)

-   1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil (depends on the length of your hair) 

-   1-2 tablespoon of olive oil  (depends on the length of your hair) 

Directions:

– Warm up the coconut oil for about 15-20 seconds (Allow it too cool for about 1-2 minutes)

– Combine the coconut oil, eggs, and olive oil together (Whisk it all together until it is very smooth)

– Apply the mask everywhere, with a focus on your ends and roots

-After application, apply a bag (grocery bag) on your hair to seal in the mask/create heat

-Leave the mask in your hair for a minimum of one hour

-Wash out with lukewarm to cool water (hot water can potentially cook the raw egg *gross*)

-Shampoo and condition afterwards

-Enjoy your beautiful hair !

I would love to know if you guys like it, and what your thoughts are after you try out this amazing & natural DIY hair mask!
