♡egg hair mask♡

So, I removed my purple from my hair and touched  up my roots meaning that my hair is now officially... dead (and blonde, but .... it's dead). So, I decided to do a little research on how to make your dead hair pull a Lazarus and come back to life.

look at that it's terrible i'm cry

So, something that I've been hearing a lot about is the amazing power of *insert drumroll here* eggs! And even more so, the power of egg yolks!
Eggs contain protein -- and lots of it. They also contain lecithin, a natural hair conditioner, so wouldn't it make sense to use it in your hair? So, I thinks to meself, "well, if eggs by themselves are supermegafoxyawesomehot, then... what if...?" and then this idea came to me: mix it all up.

INGREDIENTS:

- 2 egg yolks (I have short hair, and this was enough for me)

- 3 tbsp mayonaisse (not miracle whip... nope)

- 3 tbsp honey

- 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

- 1/4 cup of coconut oil

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Prepare all your ingredients accordingly (separate the yolks from the whites, thaw out the coconut oil, etc.)

2.  Combine the yolks, mayo, honey and extra virgin olive oil in a bowl. Stir until it's smooth. Leave out the coconut oil for now.

3. When it's finally smooth, slowly pour in your coconut oil. Don't stop stirring because if you do, instead of a smooth consistency, you're going to have chunks of cooked eggs in there. Don't say I didn't warn you!

4. Stir for two more minutes just to make sure the coconut oil doesn't cook the eggs.

5. Put mixture in your hair. It's going to be thick, and a little sticky, but that's what we want. This isn't conditioner, it's a hair mask. 

6. Cover with a plastic cap (I personally use a plastic bag, nbd), and wait 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, wash out of your hair with cold/mild water.

7. Shampoo and condition as usual and towel dry.

WARNINGS:

- heat is not your friend with this mixture, so unless you want to be washing scrambled eggs out of your hair, try to stay away from any type of heat

- this mixture does drip, so wear something that you're okay with getting an oil-based mixture on

- if your hair is somewhat healthy (your hair doesn't take 3 hours to dry, barely breaks, etc. etc) only use this hair mask twice a month. Too much of a good thing could be damaging.

- if your hair is like mine (so dead that parts of it became jelly --- omg), once a week should be good enough until your hair becomes a little more healthy

As I was typing this, I was actually waiting my 20 minutes for the hair mask to do its work. Now that I've rinsed it out I can honestly say that it's one of those "quick fixes" because already, my hair hasn't been falling out into my hand as i was finger combing it while it was wet. Maybe I'll come up with more of these --- and don't worry, I'll share :)

Happy hair healing!

So I dye my hair quite a lot, and I've recently been rocking this purplish-pink-orange-blonde mix. I'm a natural dark haired maiden, so naturally, I had to bleach my hair quite a few times in order for the blonde to actually be... well... you know.. blonde.

Look it's me!

Anyways, as you may know, bleaching is quite hazardous and terrible and blah blah blah dead hair.

So my hair has actually come to the point where it just frizzes when it dries and my ends were so dead and ugh it's just not attractive. So I figured now would be a good time to give some deep conditioning products a review.

So this is what I've been using almost every time I've even WET my hair (I skipped it once and that's bc my mom hid it from me -- she likes to do that) and I've got to say... it works pretty well. 

The instructions are as follows "Scoop a small amount of *insert name of product here* into  palm and even distribute with a wide toothed comb from your hair's roots down to the ends. Leave treatment in hair for 3-5 minutes." 

It then goes on to say that plastic caps would help and rinse it out with cold - mild water.

I, for some odd reason, choose to ignore the timeframe that the canister gives and I leave it in my hair for an hour. I've been told that your hair only retains what it needs so, I figure, if I leave it on for an extra 55 minutes, it won't hurt. Skewed logic, I know.

I've used olive oil treatments before but this one is smooth, you don't have to use a lot, doesn't leave any residue, annnnnnnd it smells really good like flowers and fruit and all the girly things you could possibly imagine. 

I'm almost through with my first canister (and by almost through I literally mean that there's less than a tbs left) but I have another one because Walgreens had a BOGOF sale :) 

I guess this review all simmers down to me saying that I would recommend it to you (the reader) if you needed a quick hair fix.
