DIY Beauty: 3 Homemade Hair Conditioner Recipes

Posted by beautifulwithbrains | May 20, 2009 .

Conditioner is an important part of hair care. It restores moisture after shampooing, helps hair to be manageable, smooth and tangle-free and makes it shine. However, conditioners can be quite expensive. Making one with ingredients you can find in your kitchen is instead very cheap and easy. Here’s a few recipes for you to try:

1. Tropical Conditioner

- 1 peeled and mashed avocado
- 1 cup of coconut milk

Combine the ingredients together and mash until the mixture is smooth and thick. Comb it through hair and wait about 10-15 minutes, then rinse off.

2. Rosemary Conditioner

- a few drops of rosemary essential oil

Pour a few drops of rosemary essential oil on your hands and apply throughout your hair.

3. Deep Conditioner

- 1 small jar of organic mayonnaise (make sure to use mayonnaise and not salad dressing as that could dry your hair out)
- 1/2 avocado

Put the ingredients in a bowl and, using your hands, squish until the mixture becomes minty green in colour.
Apply throughout your hair.
Wrap your hair in a saran wrap (or just put on a shower cap) and then put a damp hot towel around the wrap. Wait about 20 minutes.l
Lightly shampoo and rinse off.

    Wonderful post! I’ve used mayonnaise before but it left my hair smelling horrible, but it left my hair looking so good.

    Anastacia: thanks! I’m glad you like them.

    prettybeautiful: that one is my fave too. Simple, quick and works great!

    Joanne: mayonnaise works great for hair. The smell isn’t nice but if you shampoo afterwards it should go away.
