Luxurious Deep Conditioning & Detangling Treat for Hair

Yesterday I did a deep conditioning treatment that also doubled up as a great way to detangle my strands. I often use oil during the process of detangling to add sleep to the hair and preventing breakage . This is a variation from using conditioner during the  detangling process. As my hair gets longer it seems to need more moisture at the ends. In order to help my hair to retain moisture I decided to use honey as the base for the deep conditioning treatment. I came up with the following concoction:

Ø  3 tbs of runny honey
Ø  2 tbs of coconut oil
Ø  1 tbs of olive oil
Ø  2 tbs of avocado oil
Ø  1 egg yoke

Info on  the conditioning cap
Mix all the ingredients together.  The honey and egg makes the consistency of the oils thicker allowing for the mix to be applied to the hair with my fingers. I used this mix for adding sleep to the hair during the finger detangling process.  Once this process was complete, I covered my hair with a shower cap and used my Aphrodite hair conditioning cap for 90 minutes.

The Aphrodite conditioning cap heats the hair allowing the oils to penetrate the hair shaft enhancing the conditioning process. I used the time to relax and watch a film fit for a Saturday afternoon in rainy England!

I then washed my hair as usual. The result was amazingly soft, moisturised and shiny hair. I will certainly use this recipe again. My Afro is now ready for Christmas. 

 Enjoy your festive season and keep nurturing your hair.
