You’ll Need:

• 1 cup coconut oil
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp cornstarch

Directions:

1. To a microwave safe bowl, add all of the ingredients. Stir well until all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Microwave for 15-20 seconds or until the mixture becomes warm but not too hot.
3. Stir well and let the mixture cool.
4. Once cooled, apply to hair, starting at the roots, and working your way all the way to the ends.
5. Massage in slow, circular motions.
6. Cover hair with a shower cap and top off with a hot towel. The hot towel will warm the mask once more, making sure it penetrates into the hair follicles.
7. Leave on for 45 minutes to an hour.
8. Rinse out, and shampoo and condition as usual.

Why This Mask Works:

Coconut oil is packed full of fatty acids that penetrate the hair shaft to hydrate dry hair, fix split ends, and add shine to dry, frizzy hair.

Olive oil works to moisturize dry scalp, repair damage from hair dyes, styling tools, and hair products, as well as add shine.

Lemon juice cleanses the hair and scalp, and also brightens the hair color.

Cornstarch helps to smooth out unruly, frizzy hair.
