8-10 fresh okra pods.
2 tablespoons of coconut oil or olive oil (you can use it to make it more nourishing).
1 spoon of honey (if desired, for a shiny finish)
1 measuring cup of water
Directions:
Get the okra ready:
Clean the okra well and cut it into small pieces. The tinier the pieces, the more sticky substance you can get.
Cook the okra in boiling water.
Put the cut okra and 1 cup of water in a small pot. Heat it until it starts bubbling, then let it cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir from time to time to help the thick, slimy texture needed for the hair mask to develop.
Filter the slimy substance.
After boiling, filter the mixture to remove the slimy substance from the okra pieces. You should end up with a thick, jelly-like substance.
Add some oils and honey if you want to.
To make your hair more hydrated and shiny, combine 2 tablespoons of coconut or olive oil with 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix thoroughly.
Wear the mask:
Put the slimy substance from okra on your hair, beginning at the roots and moving towards the ends. Make sure to thoroughly cover every part.
Keep it on.
Leave the mask on your hair for 30 to 45 minutes. You can use a shower cap to help your hair absorb more moisture.
Wash and clean your hair with shampoo.
Once the time is over, wash your hair well with warm water and then use your usual shampoo and conditioner.
