5 Tips to go glossy and slick

• Olive oil and egg: Whisk up 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil (preferably the extra-virgin variety) with a whole egg. Apply this mask to clean, dry and tangle-free hair. Pile your hair into a bun and leave it on for 30 minutes, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water and a mild shampoo. Let your hair naturally dry and then brush it through to find nice straight and shiny hair!
• Egg white and rice flour: Stir one egg’s white into 1 tablespoon of rice flour to end up in a smooth white paste. Leave this mixture on your hair for 20-30 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water and a mild shampoo+conditioner. The rice flour will help to hold your strands straight and glassy.

• Go bananas: Prepare a smooth mash of 2 ripe bananas along with olive oil and naturally fermented curds/yogurt. Apply it to your hair from the root to tip and comb through for equal distribution of the mixture through your hair. Build up more of the mask to cover up every strand and let it soak in your hair for 20 minutes’ time. Wash off your hair now with a mild shampoo and conditioner and you’ll be left behind with glossy, healthy and straight locks of hair!
• The Tri-herb mixture: Coconut oil, milk and lemon juice are natural straighteners. Mix up all the three (1 tablespoon of each) and pamper your hair with this mixture. Leave this natural straightener on for 40 minutes and then rinse off your hair with a mild shampoo and conditioner. This tri-herb magic will not only leave behind luxurious locks, but will also keep your hair healthy with no dandruff!

• Coconut Milk: Freshly extract the milk of a coconut and apply it to your strands. Leave this on for about half an hour and wash off your hair with a regular shampoo. Naturally dry your hair and you will be left with straight strands of healthy hair.
