I Saved My Hair By Looking In The Kitchen Cupboard

If you have dry, brittle hair but refuse to spend fortunes on hair products, and simply do not want to get the chop. I may have a solution for you. All you need is Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a shower cap and patients. 

Step One- Pour a large amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil into a bowl and prepare to get messy. Apply most of the oil to ends of your hair, or where your hair feels most dry, massaging whilst doing so. Try and avoid putting too much in your scalp or your hair will appear greasy and we definitely do not want that!               

Step Two-  Once you are happy with the amount of oil you've applied to your hair. Stick it in a shower cap sit back and watch the telly. Not too hard eyyy! I mean us girls have to do what we have to do (wink wink). I normally wait 30 minutes to an hour, but i would advice to wait no longer than 2 hours. Step Three- Now it's time to get in that shower! When shampooing lather it on and massage thoroughly and do it twice. We want to wash this oil out and it ain't easy as water and oil well they don't mix (i didn't even plan that pun, woo i surprise myself). If you feel like conditioning only apply to the very ends because the oil will condition most of the hair and too much conditioning can make the hair greasy. 

The Result- Once you've showered it's time to see the magic take place, dry your hair on a low heat and you should feel that your hair has softened and feels better. If your hair looks greasy DON'T WORRY just shampoo again, and next time don't apply as much oil.

Tips- It took a few weeks of doing this for my hair to go back to its healthy self, so don't expect your hair to suddenly be healthy again after one treatment it takes time and effort. This sounds silly but stop washing your hair as much this also dries out your hair, i started washing my hair only twice a week and did the treatment once a week. Stop using the straighteners and curlers, this is probably why your hair is dry in the first place and giving your hair a rest from them will do it a load of good, your hair will be thanking you and using the oil will encourage it to be grateful.
