The ingredients are:

-         1 egg

-         2 tablespoons of coconut oil

-         2 tablespoons of olive oil

-         1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

-         1/3 cup raw honey

If you have longer, thicker hair, just fiddle with amount of each ingredient to get the homemade mixture from roots to tips.

Step 1

Mix all of the ingredients. The egg will add shine to your hair. It has vitamins A, D and E that is common to prevent hair loss and split ends. Coconut oil strengthens and gives the hair the gloss it needs. It is also a great hair softener because of the healthy fatty acids present in it. Olive oil exfoliates the strands and keeps the color intact. Apple cider vinegar (not any type of vinegar) balances the hair and scalp pH, as well as, prevents hair loss and thinning. It also removes product build-up which is one of the causes of dandruff and scalp itching. Honey also traps in moisture in the hair. It is also an emollient, which means that it softens and adds luster to your strands.
