Repair Your Hair

I have always had the luxury of having really thick hair and haven't always noticed that others don't, until recently.

Hair is something that everyone has, on their head or otherwise.  However, those whose hair isn't in great condition often spend a ton of money on conditioning products.  I have seen the many products out there and am often discouraged when ever trying something new.  Therefore, not only for myself, but also for friends, I researched a solution for just one problem - how to repair the hair. 

There are many ways that hair can be damaged - straightening, blow-drying, coloring, and the list goes on and on.  For some others though, hair has never been soft or nice looking.  The recipe that will follow not only softens and repairs, but may have some thickening strength as well.

Supplies:
Large mason jar (I think I use a quart size)
Apple cider vinegar
Epsom Salt
Coconut Oil (cold-pressed)
Honey
Water (filtered if possible)
Rosemary Essential Oil (100% pure with no fillers, doTERRA brand)
Lavender Essential Oil

Directions:
Pour 2 cups water into mason jar, add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons Epsom salt.  Stir until salt dissolves.
Add in 1 tablespoon honey and 3 tablespoons coconut oil.  Mix thoroughly.  You may have to heat for a few seconds in order for the coconut oil and honey to incorporate.
Add 10 drops rosemary and 10 drops lavender. 
Apply to hair from roots to tips and let sit for 20 minutes. 
Wash hair as normal with warm, not hot, water.

If the hair is very damaged or thin, you can add everything but the coconut oil and honey to a spray bottle and lightly mist the hair after showering morning or night. 

Enjoy
