Hair Mask Recipe

Herro! So tonight I decided to take my hair growth routine up a notch and do a mask. Its super easy and smells yummyful X3

So start with a mixing bowl. I used my Ion Color Brilliance bowl and brush but any bowl will do and you could just use your hands but its super sticky x.x And then I poured 2 tbs of my favorite African Pride Olive Miracle Olive oil treatment. This smells super good. I cant quite place the scent but it's fruity and quite strong. Next was 2 tbs of all natural Clover Honey. If you use the same measuring spoon you used for the oil, the honey should slide right off. And finally 1/2 tsp of Coconut Oil. I just used a cheap small jar I found on discount a while back. Now mix it well and pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds, then remix to make sure it's smooth. Now you are ready to apply it to your scalp and pull it through with a comb to the ends. You want to do this quickly while the mixture is still warm because as it cools it gets thicker and stickier. Once all the mixture is in your hair, cover your head with a shower cap or plastic bag or plastic wrap to keep in the heat and cover with a towel for extra warmth.  Wait for at least 20 mins. You can leave it for as long as you like. Just don't fall asleep with it. Now rinse with lukewarm water. Not hot but not cold. Don't use conditioner unless you feel you really need it and air dry if possible but you can blow dry on low or just warm.

My New Hair Growth System - Progress Report Week 1

I started my new hair growth system just under a week ago and I have definitely noticed my hair is thicker and softer and I feel its just a tiny bit longer. By only about 2, 2 1/2 mm but still an improvement for my sadly slow growing hair.
I start with a hot Olive oil treatment. I warm up about 1oz of the oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds (You want it warm but NOT HOT) and then I massage it into my scalp. After massaging for about 2 minutes I lay with my head upside down for about 5 minutes.
After the oil treatment, I take a shower and use my Mane 'n Tail shampoo and conditioners (for horses AND for humans!) I shampoo twice. (1st time to clean away any build-up, the oil, and anything else nasty in my hair. And the 2nd is to really clean my scalp.) And then I massage in the conditioner and let it sit as I do the rest of my shower routine. Then I rinse out the conditioner and before I get out, I blast my scalp with ice cold water to close my pores and seal in all the nutrients from the conditioner.
When I'm out of the shower I rewash my face and blow dry my hair till its nice and fluffy. I dont usually use other products unless I plan to curl my hair or a volume for events.
I try to wash my hair every other day but it doesnt always happen. But so far I have used this system for like I said just under a week and im loving the results. I just wish I could speed up the process a bit.
