I took my hair from brittle to soft with a sticky 60p mask that doesn’t stink
A health coach has revealed how she transformed her ‘dry and damaged’ hair using a sticky kitchen concoction.
Audrey Dunn is a proud “natural blonde,” but she was struggling with brittle locks before she started a storm in her kitchen.

She came up with a ‘sticky’ hair mask made entirely from food.
The ingredients include an egg, coconut oil, olive oil and honey, which gives it the sticky texture.
“Mix it well,” she instructed in a TikTok tutorial that has since gone viral.
“Then apply it to dry hair, from roots to ends.
“Put it on and leave it in as long as you like.”
To wash it out, Audrey recommended washing it twice with shampoo and once with conditioner.
She wrote in the comments that she applies the mask whenever her locks feel like they need some nourishment.
Eggs are rich in proteins, which strengthen hair and repair damage.
The yolks contain healthy fats that hydrate the hair, while the egg whites help regulate oil production on the scalp.
Audrey uses coconut oil as a carrier to hold everything together and coat her hair.
This oil is known for penetrating deep into the hair shaft, making it an excellent natural conditioner.
It helps prevent protein loss, especially in damaged hair, so the eggs can do their job.
Additionally, coconut oil improves scalp health, which can boost hair growth by nourishing the hair follicles.
Olive oil, on the other hand, is rich in vitamins A and E.

These help protect the keratin in your hair, making it stronger and shinier.
Olive oil also helps retain moisture in the hair, preventing it from becoming dry and brittle.
Honey plays a role in the homemade mask because it is a humectant. That is, it draws moisture from the air into the hair and retains moisture.
“The honey gives it a stickier consistency and strengthens the hair,” Audrey explains.
“It contains a protein that promotes hair growth and heals breakage, so I don’t think syrup would work the same.”
When asked if the hair mask made her “stink,” she assured her it didn’t… despite the high egg content.
