Honey and Maple Syrup Hair Mask

I was a little skeptical about trying this hair mask because the thought of coating my hair with two things as sticky as honey and maple syrup just wasn't a nice thought! Fortunately my hair ended up being super soft after. 

You only need two ingredients, honey and maple syrup. 

3 tbs pure maple syrup

1-2 ts honey 

1.  Put your measured ingredients into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for intervals of 10 seconds until they can be mixed together. After about 25 seconds maximum It should be ready. 

2.   Wait until the mixture is cool and apply to your hair. Avoid applying to your roots as it may cause them to appear greasy. I applied a tiny layer to my roots. I applied it to wet hair but I have read that it also works on dry hair. 

 I found that I had enough to cover all my hair, and I have pretty long, thick hair.

 

3. Wrap your hair in a shower cap and leave for 20-30 minutes. I didn't have a shower cap so I just wrapped it in plastic wrap!

I put my hair in a low bun to start with so I could wrap it easier. 

I found that it wasn't staying around the edges so I put a headband over top. 

4. After 30 minutes I had a shower with lukewarm water and rinsed my hair with about half the normal amount of shampoo and conditioner I usually use. Your hair shouldn't feel sticky when your done with all of this. 

The next day I woke up and my hair was really soft, and shiny, plus it smelt amazing.
