You may want to shampoo/cleanse your hair prior to this wash, so that all the dirt gets off and the conditioner can fully penetrate. These are rough amounts used on damp, 39" hair. Damp hair needs much less than does dry hair. Also, I used less olive oil and shea butter because my hair is prone to being overly greasy. If your hair is dry, add more of these ingredients.
- 1 tsp olive oil (or your favorite oil)
- 1 tsp shea butter
- 1.5 tbsp yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp coffee: optional
- 1 egg
The coffee is for dark-hairs only. Lemon or chamomile can be used for blondes, ketchup and chili for redheads... etc. You know what works best for your hair color
. If you are using the coffee, mix it with boiling water first. Then add the olive oil, shea butter, and honey. Heat it in the microwave for about one minute. Then, after it cools, add the egg and the yogurt. EO can be added if you don't like the smell. It does smell a bit at first, but my hair doesn't retain smells like this, so I didn't use any EO.
Apply this to your hair (preferably damp hair, but again, you know what your hair prefers!) and leave on for at least 20-30 minutes. I like to leave it on overnight. Then rinse, and shampoo/condition your scalp, depending on your washing method. No conditioner should be needed on the length!
