  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Mix these well with the help of a fork. Apply over hair. Rinse after an hour with warm water. The protein in coconut milk and eggs will strengthen hair strand. Honey adds shine. Vanilla extract and olive oil are carrier agents, which make this formula more effective. Experts recommend using it every week for at least one month. After that, it can be used once in a month for a longer time.

The best method to apply the protein mixture is to massage in the roots of hair and moving down to the tip. The cuticle absorbs protein in almost 30 minutes, so make sure to let it stay longer.

Lemon juice and apple cider vinegar

Always consult and experienced person, who has been trying or observing the long-term effects of any home remedy. In case of a disease, don't try any treatment on your own, unless doctor approves it.
