The texture of dry hair is coarse and curly.It needs lot of moisture than any other hair type.The key to adding lot of moisture to the dry is using a deep conditioning mask.What is better than shea butter which provides deep conditioning for the hair?It is a great conditioner and you will be able to see results after a single use.

Shea butter is high in Vitamin A,E and F and contains unexceptionally high percentage of unsaponifiables which are good fat.Extra virgin olive oil, or EVOO well known for its nutritious value,is rich in biotin, niacin, vitamins A and E and antioxidants.

Ingredients:

Half a cup of 100% certified organic Unrefined Shea butter

Half a cup of OliveOil
Teaspoon of Vitamin E oil

Essential oil of your choice-5-6 drops

Method:

Applying shea butter on your hair for a few hours helps revitalize damaged hair and softens dry hair. In addition, it enhances hair growth because it is rich in essential vitamins and minerals.You can prepare shea butter for hair at home by heating one and a half cup of shea butter in a microwave or over a double-boiler (just soften it, do not melt it completely, though) and whip it to get batter-like consistency.

Next, add half a cup of olive oil in it and again mix. Finally, blend this mixture along with a teaspoon of vitamin E oil and 5-6 drops of an essential oil of your choice to get a light texture and smooth consistency.Massaging antioxidant rich, extra-virgin olive oil and shea butter on the scalp aids in circulation, thereby working as intense conditioner for your hair. In addition, they enhance hair growth and  as a scalp disinfectant.

For Dry/Damaged hair use the above hair mask twice weekly.

For a good night sleep, you can add lavender oil or for hair growth you can add Rosemary oil. It really depends on what you want and what you like . There are no hard or fast rules in adding essential oil.I 'll do a separate post on adding essential oils and their benefits.

I would advise pregnant women to stay away from using any essential oil or people suffering from allergies. Always use your own judgement before using any product on your skin or hair.
