it as a gel. Dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 cup warm water and
apply to damp hair before styling. Combine 4 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons
honey in a glass jar with a lid and shake until well
blended. Let mixture sit for 3 to 4 days, and shake it
occasionally. Rub mixture evenly into dry hair and wrap
hair in plastic wrap, letting set for at least an hour.
Shampoo as usual. Mix together 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 egg.
Apply to hair and let set for about an hour. Shampoo as

vegetable oil in the microwave (make sure it’s not too
hot!) and then gently apply to scalp with cotton balls.
Let set for at least an hour and then shampoo as usual.
