Recipe for deep conditioning hair:

Purchase an inexpensive travel container or use an old conditioner container that you already have. Put the following ingredients into the container:
1 egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 cup water. Place the lid onto the container and shake it up. Put it in your beach bag.

*When you arrive at the beach, shake up the conditioner again and massage plenty of it into your hair. If you have longer hair, wrap it up to the top of your head and place the sun hat on. This actually utilizes the sun's heat to create deeper conditioning. No one will even know that you're deep conditioning your locks under your hat! When you're ready to take a dip, rinse it off well in the water. Please note, this is meant for the beach and not appreciated at any pool!
