Jut mix together 3 eggs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and spread it over your scalp and hair – leave for 20 minutes, then rinse and wash with cool water (don’t use hot water or you will be dealing with scrambled egg in your hair.)
Honey

To give your lacklustre hair some shine, mix two tablespoons of honey with one tablespoon of olive oil and rub into hair. Leave for 30 minutes then wash and rinse.
