Greetings Lovely ladies,
Summer is nearly to a close and it is hot! The Sun is beautiful and It kisses our skin with color. But the rays from the sun can be harsh to our locks. Along with the products, heated styling tools, dust, smog, and hard water. With all that harshness, we need something that is healthy and truly natural to our bodies from head to toe, inside-out and outside-in. So, I have come across, some tried and proven deep penetrating hair conditioners that you can DIY at home, without breaking your bank accounts. Most ingredients you can find at your local grocery store or health food store.
Please feel free to tweak the recipe to your liking and your hair needs. The only way you find the right deep conditioner ingredients is by trial and error. Enjoy and please tell me how it went with pictures, comments, and videos.
Recipe:
1 Whole Banana
2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Avocado Oil ( or Nice ripe avocado )
4 tbsp. coconut cream
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
2 tbs Raw Honey
1 tsps Rosemary essential oil
1 tsps Lavender essential oil
Please blend well until creamy and then pour the conditioner through a strainer to leave a very nice smooth cream. If you don’t, you’ll have chunks of banana in your strands which will be difficult to rinse out. After you have completed the blending and straining process, you can now smooth the conditioner into your hair and place a plastic cap on your head ( or Use a electric conditioning cap and if you don’t have plastic cap,s you can use a simple clean plastic bag ). Once your hair is covered with a plastic cap you can now relax and go about your day or night. I usually leave the conditioner in over night. Once I take a shower in the morning I rinse the deep conditioner out your beautiful hair, and style.

Vitamin E also fortifies hair, increases hair volume, and prevents premature graying.

It’s ability to do these things is the reason so many conditioners contain the popular oil.
