How to Make a Honey and Olive Oil Hair Mask

Honey and olive oil add shine and moisture to hair. This all natural mask costs less than salon conditioners and delivers results without harmful chemicals. The olive oil penetrates the hair shaft to condition your strands, and the honey smooths over the cuticle to add moisture and softness. You can apply this mask treatment to the hair once a week for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing. Dry, brittle hair may experience results after the first use of this mask.

Things You'll Need

• 1 1/2 tsp honey
• Small, microwave-safe mixing bowl
• 3 tsp olive oil
• Spoon
• Microwave
• Conditioner or deep conditioner (optional)

Instructions

1. Pour 1 1/2 teaspoons of honey into a small mixing bowl that is safe for the microwave.

2. Add 3 teaspoons of olive oil to the bowl with the honey.

3. Stir the mixture with a spoon and place the bowl into the microwave.

4. Microwave the mixture for 15 seconds to melt the ingredients.

5. Use a spoon to stir in your regular conditioner or deep conditioner to enhance the conditioning power of this mixture. You can skip adding the conditioner if you prefer.

6. Apply this mask to the hair while the hair is dry. You may shampoo it out after 20 to 30 minutes.
