Night nurse...

Hello and how's your hair today? I know I said I wouldn't post till after my exams, but I couldn't keep this to myself - I would feel so terribly selfish. My post title is inspired by my topic today: DEEP OVERNIGHT CONDITIONING. When I tell you this method works like magic, believe me.

So it's self explanatory - you leave conditioner in your hair overnight, and the next day you wash it out. But the trick is what you are using to condition. Here were my ingredients;

A tablespoonful of avocado
3 tablespoons of honey
10 tablespoons of sunflower oil (we had run out of olive)
5 tablespoons of baby oil
1 egg

Because it's an overnight condition, you want it to be oil based as a watery one (more avocado and less oil) would evaporate in the night, leaving you with dry, crusty hair. I talk from experience.

Rub the mix into your hair very well, and try and use as much of it as you can. The more of it you rub in, the better it will be!

Wrap your hair with cling film, but use no hair bands or clips, then put a shower cap over it. Then wrap a light scarf around your head to secure everything in place.

The next morning your hair will be greasy, but well moisturized. Wash out in the shower, DO NOT USE SHAMPOO, you can use conditioner to wash out if you must. Try not to scrub out the oil.

Blow dry hair before straightening (I've learnt that straightening your hair from wet isn't good for it at all, your hair becomes brittle, but the blow drying softens it).

VOILA.

You have beautiful hair!

This is perfect for occasions such as parties, prom, etc. You can also do this during the day for a few hours, and if you prefer more of a water based mix, then this is the perfect time to do it. Also, I have another exciting post coming up about hair growth! I actually think I've cracked it!!!! 

LOVE Y'ALL
