All these ingredients are great for your hair. You can start with one of those, or add more in your mixture! Be your own chef, and see what is the most beneficial ingredient for your hair type.
Milk, mashed avocado, ACV and yogurt can be used after shampooing, instead of conditioner (a good thing to know if you don’t have a conditioner at the moment ).
Oils and egg yolk must go before you shampoo your hair. And remember, you must do ’intense’ washing, to make sure that you rinsed out a greasy layer around your hair shaft. Otherwise, your hair will look greasy.
