hair therapy.

I was walking behind a woman yesterday on the way into the office and her hair was incredibly shiny. Her shiny hair reminded me about this olive oil hair mask idea that I read about earlier this month.

It seems pretty easy and straight forward and I am never against trying something new (remember this apple cider vinegar post?!). Here is the breakdown:

• In a glass jar, combine 5 or 6 drops of your favorite essential oil with 1/2 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Mix well and stick it in the fridge for an hour.
• Rinse your hair with warm water and drape a towel around your shoulders.

• Scoop a tablespoon or so of the mask into your hands and gently massage into your entire scalp with your fingertips. Massage or comb the mask through your hair with wide-tooth comb, adding a little extra to the ends of your hair.

• Wrap your hair in a towel or shower cap and let the mask soak into the hair for 30 minutes to an hour.

• Rinse and shampoo as usual.
• If you prefer a tropical scent, make this hair mask with extra virgin coconut oil instead. 

So, I am going to give it a go at some point this weekend....stay tuned!
