Honey acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture into your hair strands. It also has antibacterial properties that can help soothe scalp irritation.

Yoghurt contains lactic acid, which exfoliates the scalp and helps to remove dead skin cells. It can also strengthen hair follicles.

And lastly, Olive Oils is a rich source of fatty acids, which nourish and moisturize hair. Its penetrating properties allow it to deeply condition the hair shaft.
