Ingredients:

1 egg

2 tbsp of honey

Note: For an added moisturizer and a nice smell, add a few drops of lavender oil to the mix

2. For Squeaky Clean Hair

Ingredients:

½ c of plain yogurt

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp water

Mix all ingredients, apply and massage into scalp. Leave for 1 minute and rinse.

3. For Thicker Hair

1 banana

1 egg

½ c of flat beer (use a pale ale like Bud Light as opposed to a stout or IPA)

1 tbsp honey

Mash banana and mix in egg until the mixture is smooth and then add beer and honey. Apply and massage into hair for 5 minutes. Leave the mixture on the head for one hour. Rinse and shampoo.
