Hair out of condition?
A simple, effective and cheap ! conditioner is warm vegetable
oil. Use anything from a teaspoon to a couple of tablespoons of
olive or sweet almond oil according to the length of your hair.
Warm it in an oven or microwave, but be careful not to get it too
hot. Massage it into your hair and scalp, and then relax for twenty
minutes or so. Shampoo gently and rinse thoroughly.
Alternatively, use your normal conditioner before washing.
Simply apply to the hair.
Or why not try this super conditioner -

avocado oil and 1 egg yolk. Mash the avocado flesh into a smooth
paste, blend in the oil and egg yolk. After shampooing, spread

thoroughly. |
