Treating Damaged Locks for Healthier Tresses

Honey and Egg Yolk Mask
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 egg yolk
Directions
- Separate the yolk from the egg whites. To do this, you can use your hands (but first, make sure to clean those hands), a ladle, or a bottle.
Trick: To separate the egg yolk using a plastic bottle, make sure to remove all its contents. Direct the mouth of the bottle in the center of the yolk, not too far and not too close to avoid breaking it. Squeeze the middle of the bottle and let go. This helps suck the yolk into the bottle.
- Transfer to a clean bowl and put the honey and coconut oil together.
- Beat and mix well until a smooth consistency is achieved.
To apply the mixture on hair, part it in layers and start to rub from the roots to the tips, making sure to cover every strand. Repeat until the entire hair is covered and put on a shower cap. Wrap a towel around the hair and leave it on for 30 minutes. Rinse well using lukewarm water. Do it once a week before bedtime and it will get you great results!
