Cover with a plastic cap for a bit (30 minutes), rinse well and start your washing routine for softer hair.

Combine half a cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, warm in a microwave for 30 seconds and apply to your hair. Rinse out with conditioner and style as usual.

5. Aloe Vera & Olive Oil & Water Hydrating Mix

Need a refresher? Water is a great moisturizer but a little olive oil concoction may work even better! Add 1 part olive oil, to 5 parts water and some aloe vera juice to your liking.

    PBN sites
    We build a system of PBN sites!

    Pros of our PBN network:

    We perform everything SO THAT google DOES NOT understand that this is A PBN network!!!

    1- We obtain domains from different registrars

    2- The main site is hosted on a VPS server (Virtual Private Server is rapid hosting)

    3- The remaining sites are on various hostings

    4- We designate a individual Google account to each site with verification in Search Console.

    5- We make websites on WordPress, we don’t utilize plugins with assistance from which Trojans penetrate and through which pages on your websites are created.

    6- We do not repeat templates and employ only individual text and pictures

    We never work with website design; the client, if wished, can then edit the websites to suit his wishes
