Ok, this one isn't a food recipe, but recipes using food for deep hair conditioning! They are mega easy, plus I told Martina I would put them here. They are from Rona Berg's book called Beauty: the new basics.
Oil or Nothing
1/4 -3/4 cup olive or almond oil
(depending on the length of your hair)
A few drops of lavender oil
1. Shampoo you hair.
2. Heat the olive or almond oil until it's warm to the touch. Add the lavender oil.
3. Gently massage the oil into your scalp and hiar, from top to tips.
4. Heat with a blow-dryer (using a diffuser attachment) at low speed until dry. (the heat opens the cuticle and helps the oil absorb better.) Then shampoo again.
South of Shanghai Moisturizing Treatment
In Chinese medicine, ginseng is believed to cure impotence. It can also rejuvinate dry, colored hair and scalp. (Transcribers note: what kind of correlation are they making ?!?!?!)
1/2 avacado
2 pinches of ginseng powder
1 egg yolk
1. Mash the avacado and mix in the ginseng powder and egg yolk.
2. Massage the mask into your scalp, wrap a thin towel around your head, and leave on for 10 minutes
3. Rinse, then shampoo.
Tuscan Protein Pack
Egg is rich in protein, and the oil will moisturize your hair. After applying, wrap your head, go into the backyard, and imagine yourself sitting outdoors on a terrazzo in Tuscany.
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1 egg
1. Mix the honey and olive oil
2. Scramble the egg and mix it in (transcribers note: we discussed this and you do NOT cook the egg like, just mix it up like prior to making an omelette)
3. Massage into the hair, and let it sit for 20 minutes
4. Shampoo out, Rinse.

Thanks for posting this for me! I got home and was looking in some of our herb books and found that the olive/almond oil + lavendar oil combination is in one of our many natural remedy books. I'll have to look through them and see if I can find any other interesting conditioners!
