This is one of my favourite pre-conditioning hair masks. It softens the hair, detangles, and leaves it feeling very good. Honey is a humectant, which draws moisture and deep conditions the hair. Yoghurt also brings an intense conditioning and softening quality to the mix.
You will need:
4 tablespoons plain unsweetened Greek Yoghurt
2 tablespoons of honey
About 10 drops or a tablespoon of Baobab oil
10 drops or 1 tablespoon of Shea oil
15 drops of Lavender essential oil
15 drops of Rosemary essential oil
(Double the quantity of honey and Yoghurt if you have long hair. But you don’t necessarily need to double the amount of essential oil.)
Directions: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl or jug and apply section by section to your hair. This mixture can be applied directly to dry hair, or you can choose to dampen your hair slightly to help it absorb the mask quickly.
Leave this mask in your hair for a few hours or even overnight for best results. After leaving the mask in for as long as yoh wish, wash it ouy with your favourite natural shampoo, dry, and add moisture to your hair as needed.
