Dave, I hope your wife & kids feel better, and that you stay healthy, too.
Karen, I use this recipe for a diy deep conditioner for my curly hair, and I love it...
* 2 eggs.
* 1 Tbsp. Honey
* 1 Tbsp. Castor oil
* 1 medium banana
Mash banana. Add eggs & stir well. Mix in honey & castor oil.
Shampoo hair as normal, & apply mix to damp hair. Cover with plastic cap, and leave on for 30 minutes.
