damaged and it's breaking or overprocessed and you're sick of spending a bunch of
money on conditioners and stuff like that. You wanna go the natural route and
I have something for you.
It's a homemade hair recipe that I
actually used a lot when my hair was really damaged a couple years ago and I still use it today when
it's feeling really dry. This is one of the hair masses that really
took my hair from being dull and dry and damaged to soft and bouncy and
shiny all over again. So, here is what you're gonna need. Two things for this hair mask.
The first one,
coconut oil unrefined is better but if you can't find unrefined then
regular will work as well and an egg. This is because our hair
loves coconut oil, you know, a lot of oils out there actually aren't
able to even penetrate our hair shaft. So we put them on but
they don't fit into our hair but because of coconut oil's itty
bitty molecular structure it's one of the few oils that our
hair can actually just sip right up. Yummy, our hair really likes coconut oil.
And the second ingredient that
we're gonna use is just an egg. Because egg has a lot of protein in it and
so we're gonna mix these two together and make a strengthening cocktail for
hair to have for lunch. Okay let's get started. So the first thing you wanna do, depending
on the length and thickness of your hair you want to take a few tablespoons
of coconut oil and melt it down.
Because if you notice it's actually
solid at room temperature. So just melt it down to an oil, like so and I wanna make sure that the oil is
not too hot but also not too warm. I want it to be kind of like,
that makes between hot and warm actually. And so my hair opens up immediately and
it penetrates faster.
So I'm gonna go ahead and crack my egg and
put it in and then I'm just gonna start beating it together like so
until it's completely mixed up. So I'm kind of trying to beat it quickly
because I don't want to lose teeth. So once I'm done I'm gonna go ahead and
protect myself with a towel because this gets really, really messy and then
I'm gonna section my hair off into fours. And I'm going to completely saturate
my hair with the treatment.
And when I'm applying the treatment,
I just focus a lot on my ends and I also make sure that I
massage my scalp as well. Because coconut oil is really,
really good for your scalp and massaging your scalp is just good for
hair growth in general. Because it helps the blood flow to your
scalp and once I'm done applying it to all my hair, you'll notice that because of the
egg your hair feels really, really stiff. That will go away in the shower
once you rinse it off so i don't really worry too much about it.
So, now that I am done, I will remove my towel and then I'm going
to take the little plastic bag like this because I wanna lock in the heat so
I am gonna take my hair and put it up. And then afterwards I am
going to take my plastic bag. And I want to kinda twist it
on like a mini plastic turban. Now, you should look so
beautiful like this when you're finished.
All right, let it sit for a good 30 to 40 minutes depending
on how much I need the treatment. Then wash it out with your shampoo and
conditioner. I like to use a really good moisturizing
conditioner after this treatment. Once you're done shampooing and conditioning your hair when you get out of
the shower if your hair is really dry you can go ahead and add a little bit more
coconut oil just to retain the moisture.
I usually do this when my hair is damp, like probably 70% dry and
then afterwards it's up to you. You can either throw your hair up or what I like to do is I like
to blow dry my hair on cool. And then I do my heatless overnight curls
on it to create the look that I have right here in front of
you that you're watching. And I'll link that down below in
case you missed that tutorial, in the description box.
That is it, for
my do it yourself hair reconstructor. One of my favorite do it
yourself recipes ever. Let me know what you guys think
in the comments below and I'll talk to you guys soon. Okay? Bye.
