Pre wash honey treatment - home-made shampoo

Before a shampoo, use this special treatment to condition your scalp and repair damaged hair. Use regularly if your hair is dry or ends are split.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
5 drops rosemary, lavender or geranium essential oil

You will also need a small cup
a ceramic or glass bowl
a small stainless steel spoon
a plastic shower cap
and a comfortably hot towel

1. In a cup sitting in hot water, warm the olive oil and the honey ( or you can use the microwave for heating - be careful) Stir in your choice of essential oil and mix well.

2. While the mixture is still warm, apply it all over your hair, massaging well into the scalp. Cover your hair with the shower cap (or large plastic bag) wrap the towel around your head and leave on for 10-15 minutes. For severely damaged hair, leave on up to 30 minutes.

3. Remove the towel and shower cap, and wash your hair with a mild shampoo or baby shampoo.
