Beauty recipe:a repairing hair mask with olive oil

The ingredients.

2 tablespoons liquid honey + 2 egg yolks + 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Their (great) virtues.

Olive oil and egg nourish the hair fiber, and honey repairs it. Egg yolk boosts shine.

Get to work!

1/ In a bowl, mix the honey and the egg yolks.

2/ Add the olive oil and whisk until you get a smooth paste.

3/ Apply the mixture to the lengths (finger or brush, more precise). Cover the hair with a towel and leave on for 20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly (to avoid the olive-egg scent once the hair is dry).

Storage.

Immediate use.
