1. Coconut Oil & Aloe Vera Hair Mask

This combination of ingredients is a lifesaver for dry, frizzy, or damaged hair. Coconut oil will nourish and smooth hair while aloe vera will calm your scalp and provide the extra hydration your hair craves.

How to Use:

3. Egg and Olive Oil for Deep Repair

Okay, we know—this may not be the best-smelling treatment, but your hair will love it! Eggs are high in protein to strengthen the strands, and olive oil adds the moisture your hair is missing.

How to use:

• Crack one egg into a bowl and mix in one tbsp of olive oil.
• Whisk until combined.
• Apply to your hair from mid-length to ends (Avoid the roots if you get oily quickly).
• Leave for about 20 minutes then rinse thoroughly with cool water, and shampoo like normal.
• Put it on your hair (do not include the scalp if you get oily roots).
• Let it stay for 20 mins and then rinse.

Your hair will feel silkier and easier to comb after the first use.
