A special hair treat :)


Okay guys so here is a weird one that some people will love, some people will hate J

It’s a mango hair mask, you can also use avocado, but seeming I hate the smell, I really couldn’t stand putting it on my head!

Mango is one of the most delicious fruits, its extremely nourishing and an extremely refreshing tropical fruit J

Mango is extremely rich in potassium, vitamins K and B. It is also rich in copper, magnesium and a lot of other minerals. This gives moisture and nourishment to your hair.




The protein in the egg yolk can rebuild weak and damaged hair and also add a beautiful shine!




The honey also helps with shine and nourishes dry hair. The milk is also used for moisture and the calcium to strengthen hair. Not only good for bones!




And lastly the lemon is a natural hair lightener, can make the hair smell like lemons but with a good shampoo this will disappear! Also if you blow dry your hair after the heat of the hair dryer will work as the sun would to stimulate and lighten hair naturally!




So what you will need J

Half a mango (Skin the mango, Cut in half, throw out the inner idle stone)
3 tablespoons of honey
3 tablespoons of milk
3 tablespoons of olive oil (sunflower oil)
And the weird part
1 egg yolk (Separate whites from yolk)

For blonde haired users:
Juice of a whole lemon

Firstly mash the mango, take all your tension out on it! Bash it; mush it, whatever you have to do to get it into a nice mashed state.
Next add in the egg yolk, instantly you’ll see it thicken and then add the honey, milk and olive oil.
Give it a good mix! Make sure all the ingredients are mixed well.
Now all you have to do is rinse your hair with warm water, then squeeze and apply the hair mask generously from root to tip.
If you have oily hair I advise to use less olive oil as this can make roots seem a little greasy. But for most of us who have dry damaged hair olive oil is gold!
For lightener haired users you can use some lemon juice as well.

Leave in hair for as long as you can, minimum 15 minutes, maximum one hour. Only because the acid may damage your hair after a long time.

When you need to wash the mask out, brush through your hair, this will get most of the mango out.

Then rinse the remaining mask out with warm water and shampoo and conditioner of your choice. Make sure you get all the mango out! Style as normal and your done! 

Afterwards your hair will feel amazing! Soft and as if you have just walked out of a hair salon!
