DIY Hair Mask

Hey guys! First of all, sorry I haven't posted recently, but I have still been crafting/hairstyling, so I will share them all with you soon! With it being summer and I have a ton of time on my hands, I've decided to try and grow my hair out longer and healthier. I've researched a ton on Pinterest (follow me @elephantalivia) and finally tried a hair mask I thought sounded reasonable, so that's what I am sharing with you all today.


Instructions: 1 egg, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Combine them in a bowl and mix well, then apply it all to your hair when dry. I just scooped it with my hands onto my head and rubbed in circular motions (apparently that makes it grow faster). It will get really messy, so do it in a bathroom and wrap a towel around yourself. Leave it in for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better) then rinse it out and wash your hair normally in the shower. 
Whether or not it actually makes your hair grow, it will leave it soft and feeling extremely clean. I am going to try to do it twice a week. Some Pinterest pins say to do it every day, and some say once a month, so I decided since I wash my hair like once a week normally, but I want to apply a mask more frequently, I'd try for twice a week. Again, I am just starting out on growing my hair longer, but if you want to try it with me, I will be testing a bunch of these somewhat weird tips I found online. Give yourself a scalp massage upside down so the blood flows to your head making your hair follicles grow out, leave your hair down as much as possible (I KNOW! HOW CAN I NOT BRAID?) so the hair can be relaxed and grow quicker, lessen use of heat products (I have stopped this a while ago and  I do not nearly have as many split ends), and eat healthy as well as staying hydrated.
That's all for today! Good luck with growing healthy hair!
