Cover your hair with a shower cap or towel, then let the oil set for 30 to 45 minutes. Rinse with warm water and shampoo your hair. This olive oil hair mask helps moisturize your hair and restores its lustrous shine.

Honey and Olive Oil Hair Mask

Mix a 1/2 cup of olive oil with 1/4 cup honey. Pierce 3 capsules of Vitamin E and squeeze the contents into the mixture. Mix it well. Use a basting brush to smooth the mask over damp hair from roots to tips. Concentrate on the ends, which tend to be the most dry and damaged. Cover hair with a shower cap or a plastic grocery bag.  Wait for 40-60 minutes to allow the olive oil and honey mask to fully permeate your hair. Rinse with warm water. Use a shampoo to wash your hair and follow with conditioner.
