DIY Deep Conditioning Hair Mask! - Affordable At Home Recipe

Today I have a super easy and affordable hair mask recipe!

This formula is super hydrating and promotes shiny, split end free hair.

You can experiment with this recipe to make it suit your needs; depending on your hair length and thickness you may need to increase or decrease the amounts!

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner

You will need 1/4 cup of your favorite conditioner. I'm currently using this one from Herbal Essences.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

 You will also need about 3 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a small mixing bowl.

Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

The last and most important ingredient is coconut oil! This is my favorite oil of all time! Read what I use coconut oil for here. If your coconut oil is solid you can melt it in the microwave or by dipping your jar into hot water. You will need 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil.

Give everything a good stir until your conditioner is mixed well with the oils!

Apply on dry hair from root to tip and leave in for at least 2 hours. Shampoo and condition as usual.

And voila! Shiny, frizz free healthy hair!

DIY Coconut Sugar Body Scrub - Easy At Home Recipe!

Today I have a very easy two ingredient scrub recipe! Scrubs are great to use 1-3 times a week to sluff of dead skin. This will also provide your body with a closer shave, or if you self tan it will prevent patchiness. This particular scrub only requires two ingredients, making it much more affordable than store bought body scrubs. So let's get into the ingredients and tools you will need!

 You will need: granulated sugar, organic extra virgin coconut oil, a mixing bowl and spoon, and an empty air tight container to store your scrub. You will also need a 1 cup measuring cup and a 1/2 cup measuring cup. 

             First, add 1 cup of granulated sugar to your mixing bowl.

   Measure out a 1/2 cup of your coconut oil. If yours is at room temperature   you can melt it in the microwave or dip your jar into hot water. Make sure your coconut oil is "organic" (grown without pesticides) and "extra virgin" (unrefined, has all of its natural nutrients)

Pour your melted coconut oil into your mixing bowl and combine well with the sugar. When it's well mixed it should look like this. 

 Scoop your scrub into your container of choice. I'm using an empty body butter container, but you can use any air tight container you have at home.

And that's it! This scrub is so moisturizing and will make your skin feel incredibly smooth and soft. It also smells so good, you may just want to eat it, and you can if you really wanted to! 
I hope this is helpful. Thank you for reading.
