Hair. A girl’s crown and glory… Went to have luxe hair? Need to rejuvenate your hair? Here’s a DIY conditioning treatment that will boost your barnet guaranteed. I use it when my hair is lack lustre. It’s all au naturele, perfect for summer and very easy to do at home.
You will need:
Fresh aloe vera leaf (medium)
A medium cup of coconut milk
3 tablespoons of olive oil
Lavender/ tea tree or chamomile essential oil (a few drops optional)
Disposable latex gloves
Shower cap
Cling film
Scissors
A container
Hand blender
Method:
1. Cut the aloe vera length ways. Scrape out all the jelly inside into your container with a spoon. The jelly will come out in lumps. 
2. Pour in your olive oil, essential oil and coconut milk to the same container.
3. Using your blender give it all a whizz around. The olive oil will emulsify into the mixture. Once it’s combined stop blending.
4. Section your hair. It can be damp (after being shampooed – if you’ve just shampooed your hair use warm to hot water before you apply this. Warm water opens your pores which is perfect) or dry (applied as a treatment). 
5. Put on your disposable gloves. (Aloe Vera is super bitter so you probably won’t want any residue left on your hands hence the gloves). Apply the coconut milk mixture to each section of your hair.
6. Once your hair is completely covered. Wrap cling film around your entire head enclosing all your hair. Then put a shower cap over the cling film.
7. Go and make a cup of tea and catch up on a good book for half an hour while the treatment does its thing.
8. Half an hour up? Massage your scalp with your gloves on. Next risne off your hair with warm water. Finish off with cool water so that your pores close and keep in all that lovely goodness.
Dry your hair as normal and apply a small amount of argan oil or coconut oil to moisturise (if you have afro hair). You should be able to smell the essential oil from the treatment on your hair.
So what was the point of my hair hack recipe? Well, coconut milk is good for hair loss, it’s a natural moisturiser and treats dry scalp. Aloe vera is just a miracle plant and works for everything! It is even good to be eaten (tastes very bitter though). For hair it is a great frizz controller, it also cleans, nourishes and protects your hair and promotes shine. Olive oil thickens hair, it is a excellent deep conditioner. So if you’ve chemically treated or dyed your hair olive oil is great for rejuvenating it.
This treatment can be done as regularly as you like. If you have left over potion stick it in the fridge it will last up to two days.
