All Natural Kitchen Deep-Conditioner

All Natural Kitchen Deep-Conditioner

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. Damp hair will not need as much product as dry hair will.

- 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-hair only. Lemon or chamomile can be used for blondes, ketchup and chili for redheads.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.

Apply this to your hair and leave on for at least 20-30 minutes. You can also leave it on overnight. Then rinse, and shampoo/condition your scalp, depending on your washing method. No conditioner should be needed on the length.
