Your hair is the frame of your face; keep it looking healthy by cutting it often and pampering it weekly. I can still hear my mother reminding me to do my weekly hair treatment mask. She showed me how to use ingredients that we already had in the house, such as avocado and mayonnaise, to treat my hair. Sometimes, if I have an appointment at the salon, I get a professional treatment there. Since I color and highlight my hair, I tend to use coconut oil often. After washing my hair, I let it air dry for a bit. While is still damp, I warm up 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil between my hands. If you have short hair, use less. I distribute the oil evenly and then wrap my hair with plastic from the kitchen, or cover it with a shower cap. I leave the treatment on for at least 20 minutes while I get chores done around the house. Afterward, I rinse with cold water and use a little bit of shampoo to remove the excess.
