Which oil is best to use?
In my basic recipe I use Olive oil. Olive oil is a great home remedy if you struggle with split ends and dry hair. It's therefore ideal for anyone with longer hair - like me. Olive oil is also great if you Natural curls want to maintain - Because anyone with curls knows that they need a lot of moisture.
Alternatively, you can also Almond oil* use. It is ideal for you if you are very tired of coloring your hair. dry and Damaged hair have.
Argan oil* is a good choice for brittle, electrical and damaged hair. It nourishes and moisturizes the hair with vitamin E and fatty acids. You can to reduce frizz and make the hair shiny. Its repairing properties strengthen the hair.💪🏼

My experience report
I start collecting my colleagues' coffee grounds in the office. That adds up to quite a lot over the course of a day. I spread the wet coffee grounds very thinly on a tray and leave it to dry on the radiator for two days.
Now my coffee scrub is ready to use. I pour it into a glass with Screw cap. 😊😎
Arrived home, mix me Water, olive oil and coffee powder into a paste.
Off to the shower. First wash your hair with a mild shampoo. As normal, as always. I dry my hair lightly with a towel, then it's back in the shower - I don't want to make a mess with my long mane.
I take a good load of the paste from the jar with my right hand and spread it between my hands. And now: off to the scalp with it.
I massage the Coffee powder with my fingers - as best I can. I have to reload several times because more of the product ends up on the shower floor than in my hair. My tipBetter to take smaller portions in your hands!
I put my hair under a Shower cap and wait for the time to pass. You can't do much in that time because you have to shower again later. I take advantage of the moment and paint my toenails.
By the way: the bathroom smells wonderfully of a freshly brewed cup of coffee. So, even if the hair thing doesn't work out, at least it was a really wonderful moment of relaxation. 🥰😊
After 10 minutes it's time: Take off the cap and wash your hair again.
To be honest, I'm a little worried that the olive oil will make my hair super greasy and oily. But it washes out wonderfully. My hair is pleasantly soft and can be completely great combing.
Of course, I haven't noticed any other improvements or changes after the first use. But there are also many more passages necessary. Since it went so smoothly, I will definitely continue with it and add a few more sentences later.
What I find really great: The Shiny hair quite beautiful, as you can see in the photo. And they still have a slight coffee scent even after drying - lovely. ❤️
They are also not as dry and shaggy as they often are.
Admittedly: The shower looks a bit like a battlefield, but the coffee grounds are easy to rinse away. 😄
