{Review} Homemade Hair Mask for Dry/Frizzy/Damaged Hair

So my sister's wedding is coming up and I have been trying to get my hair in better condition for it.  I have a lot of breakage from highlighting my hair and on top of that, my hair is already dry to start with. I was thinking about purchasing the Kerastase Mask (Kerastase Women Resistance Ciment Anti Usure) because my sister said it did wonders on her hair, but I am so broke I had to look at other, cheaper options.
I forgot how much I used to love doing homemade hair masks, and I don't know why I ever stopped doing them.  Since I had no groceries in my house at the time, I wanted something that would be really simple to do, and good for very dry/damaged hair.  So I found this one and it was so easy to do, with great results!
Here is the recipe I used:
2 Tablespoons Honey
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil



(I actually doubled it because my hair is so thick)
You combine those ingredients in a bowl and microwave for around 15-30 seconds.  Put it all over your hair and cover with a shower cap.  Let this sit for around 30 minutes and then wash it off with shampoo and conditioner.

After I straightened my hair how I normally do, (which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCpKldwSXGg) I found that my hair took less time to get straight since it wasn't as damaged (a huge plus!!) I also noticed that my hair was a lot shinier and had a more moisturized feel to it.  It felt a little oily, but since my hair was so dry to begin with, it was actually nice to feel it that way.

Would I suggest this to everyone? Definitely not. I think the olive oil can be way too greasy on many people, and you should only use this if your hair is very dry & damaged.
Overall, I would definitely use this again!
