I tried the honey, olive oil, and egg yolk mixture on my 5 year old daughter and it worked so well. I shampooed and conditioned as regular after rinsing out the mixture and her hair was so soft! She lost minimal hair during styling and she normally loses a lot. Her hair was very soft and manageable. Her hair type is medium to coarse...depends on how well it is conditioned. Thanks for the mixture, I will use it in the future.

ITS GREAT!!
