Rub lightly, and smooth over the hair. Have a deep conditioning treatment once a week, before shampooing. Mix together an egg, a tablespoon of castor oil, the juice of a lemon and one teaspoon of glycerine or honey. Apply on the hair, cover with a plastic shower cap and keep on for an hour.?Or, mix an egg, a tablespoon of mayonnaise and a teaspoon of olive oil. Apply on hair. Leave on for half an hour and wash.
