**all organic**
1 tablespoon of honey
3 tablespoons of olive oil / coconut oil
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
**Bonus** If there is left over, you can use it as a face scrubs!!
COMBINE all ingredients in a microwave safe mason jar (or safe plastic so if it does drop in the shower, you won't step on broken glass).
MICROWAVE for 20 seconds, mix with a folk or spoon to combine the ingredients
COMB through hair to remove tangles ( I do this anyways, less hair will fall during shower to plug up the drain * life hack*)
RINSE hair in shower for at least 10 seconds
TEST oil for heat -- wait if it's still hot -- you want it warm... Take time to shave your legs or massage your neck... But do not pour hot oil on yourself ( yes, it should be called warm oil treatment LOL)
When oil is warm to the touch but not hot, POUR half onto your head. Use your hand to lather up the roots of your hair and massage your scalp.
FLIP your hair over, and pour the other half of the oil onto the back of your head. Massage the rest of your scalp and oil the rest of your hair.
You may wait for a few minutes before rinsing off the oil treatment... Be careful of the slippery floor now that oil is probably everywhere.
Rinse off the oil and use your regular shampoo to wash your hair.
I didn't use condition since the oil leaves my hair very soft already.
Dry hair and enjoy the new soft, sleek, moistured locks!
