Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day!


What did you spend your day doing?  Well I actually finished styling my hair and just enjoyed my day off.  Last night I washed and conditioned my hair as well as applied a protein treatment using 3 eggs, an avocado, and a few drops of rosemary essential oil.  It was time for a protein treatment and I didn't have any packets of the aphogee protein reconstructor.  So, I opted for the egg instead.  The egg gave my hair the protein it needed and the avocado gave it a great bit of sheen.  The rosemary helped to stimulate my scalp.  The entire mixture also made my hair look darker after I rinsed and conditioned it.  I really liked this hair mask/protein treatment.



Egg and Avocado Mix
3 eggs
1 large avocado
3 drops of rosemary


First, hand mix the 3 eggs in a bowl.  Next, add one peeled and pitted avocado.  Mix together using an electric hand mixer until smooth. 


 Last, apply a few drops of rosemary essential oil.



Apply the mixture to clean hair.  Cover hair with a plastic cap and leave on for 15-30 minutes.  Use heat if you would like.  After leaving the mixture on your hair for 15-30 minutes, rinse hair thoroughly and apply a conditioner afterwards.  Let the conditioner sit on your hair while you detangle then rinse with cool water.  Apply a leave in conditioner and style as usual.


I tried corn rowing my hair for the fourth time and I must say that it turned out well.  I still have a ways to go, but it is improving.  As you can see, my edges are thin so I make sure that I am extra gentle while dealing with them. 





I hope that you enjoy the remainder of your Labor Day!

Take care,
