I have fine blond hair that is down to my lower back. It is easily damaged by weather elements and styling, which has left me in constant search for good conditioning to keep my hair healthy so that I can keep it long, manageable, and pretty. Which you already know that gets expensive other wise you wouldn't be here. After spending about 6 months experimenting with homemade conditioning treatments and researching natural hair conditioners I ended up creating this recipe regime. I love it, after using it I don't put any kind of leave in conditioner in it (but if you want you can) and my hair is smooth, silky, shiny and very bouncy. It is not weighed down or a greasy or a grimy feel left over like I had experienced with so many other homemade deep conditioning recipes. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon grapeseed oil (optional, i use it because the hair absorbs it easier) |
1 teaspoon coco butter |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 tablespoon plain yogurt |
1 tablespoon mayonnaise |
1 egg |
2 ounces apple cider vinegar |
4 cups water |
Directions:
1. Put olive oil, grape seed oil and coco butter into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute or until the coco butter is completely melted. Let the mixture cool to where it is not hot to touch. Using a fork blend in the honey, then blend in the yogurt and mayonnaise. Then beat in the egg and beat until mixture is creamy and smooth. The mixture will be thin. Apply to hair coating all of the hair and ends. Then message into the scalp. Let it sit for 1 hour. Then rinse and shampoo. After shampooing use the vinegar rinse, rinsing from top to bottom. Let the vinegar rinse set in your hair anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes while you're in the shower. ( I do this to remove any excess that could be left from the deep conditioner because my hair is easily weighed down.) Then rinse and shampoo and condition as usual or whatever it is you do daily to your hair. I use this from 1 to 3 times a week depending on the weather and what I am putting my hair through, blow drying, curling, etc.
2. If you have shorter hair you can refrigerate the left over for the next weeks treatment.
