The DIY hair mask

Ever since I ombred my hair I have been struggling a lot with dry, broomstick like ends and my hair looking like a rats nest after an hour of being out. My hair is naturally on the dry side (though I am very lucky since I never have grease) and I have quite spirally curls, which doesn't help as curls bare very hard to maintain.

I often end up straightening my hair but even if I don't it still looks dry and damaged and most products didn't seem to be working for me.

This recipie (is it a recipie I don't know?) was one I found whilst scrolling through pintrest and I thought, well my hair can't get much worse, may aswell try and I'm glad I did. All it contains is:

1 egg
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons is honey

Then I just mix it up, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and apply to my hair. The mixture is quite runny but it didn't slip of my hair at all. I left this mask on for about 30-40 minutes and then washed it out using shampoo and cold water (this is important because if water is too hot then it will start to cook the egg and that would be gross) and then washed and conditioned my hair normally.

After I got out the shower unwrapped my hair up in a towel until it was damp and then I applied mouse and put my hair up in a topknot. I don't wear my hair in a towel after its no longer soaking because I don't want it to ruin my curls, instead I put it in a topknot then just leave it to down to air dry. 

That's all I did to my hair, I strongly recommend this routine it really worked for me. My hair is in a lot better condition and feels a lot softer now!
