Braided Half-Updo for Long Hair

Hello my friends,

     Yesterday evening I tried out a hair mask recipe that I saw on Pinterest, and I absolutely loved it!  I whisked together 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons coconut oil and 2 tablespoons olive oil and put this mixture on my hair.  I covered my hair with a plastic grocery bag, wrapped it in a towel and left it for a couple of hours before rinsing my hair thoroughly in cool water and washing it at usual (condition-wash-condition method).  My hair was soooo easy to comb out, even though it was still wet.  And today it is shiny and soft like never before.  I will definitely be using this hair mask again :-)
     To take advantage and let my hair show how shiny and soft it was, I fixed it in my favorite Ginger Rogers' short half-updo hairstyle.  I did the braided version to keep tangles away all day long.
