It’s been a long time since I posted a Skin Edition recipe!
Winter is fully upon us here in the northeast, and so is the less-loved phenomenon of brittle, dry hair. My hair seems to be more sensitive…there’s a lot of it, but it’s very fine and even with a trim every 3 months the split ends are hard to keep away and it loses its luster. This recipe is for a moisturizing hair masque, and the leftover yogurt mixture folds nicely into a lovely quickbread loaf. Enjoy!
After shot: the shine is back!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
Directions
Combine all ingredients, whisking until evenly mixed. Remove 1/2 cup of the mixture and rub gently into the bottom 2/3 of hair shaft (over a sink! over a sink!). Gently wrap into a bun and secure with a loose hairtie; cover hair with a shower cap to avoid smearing. (Alternatively; wrap your hair in plastic wrap.) Wash normally after 30-60 minutes.
Cinnamon Yogurt Quickbread
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a loaf pan. Add milk to the rest of the yogurt mixture and stir. Combine the other dry ingredients in a separate bowl, and then pour the wet ingredients in. Stir until just combined and then scrape into loaf pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until light brown and set. Remove from pan to cool before slicing.

Soft and spongy!
