deep conditioning


Homemade Deep Conditioners

Mayonnaise-Avocado
1 small jar of real mayonnaise
1/2 of an avocado
  • Mix in a medium bowl and squish together with your hands until it’s a minty green color. Smooth into hair all the way to the tips. Put on a shower cap or wrap your head with saran wrap.
  • Leave on for 20 minutes. For deeper conditioning put a hot, damp towel around your head -over the saran wrap. if you have really long hair and only need deep conditioning at the ends, cut the ingredients in half and apply only to the ends and just wrap them.
Mayonnaise
1/2 cup real mayonnaise
  • Comb the mayonnaise through your damp hair, then wrap your head in a towel, let it penetrate for 20 minutes. Shampoo.
  • Special Note: Make sure the mayonnaise is real mayo and NOT salad dressing. It will dry your hair out.
Ravishing Rosemary Conditioner
Rosemary essential oil
  • Add a few drops of rosemary essential oil to the palms of your hands; work through out your entire hair.
Tropical Conditioner
1 avocado (peeled and mashed)
coconut milk
  • Combine mashed avocado with some coconut milk. Mash together until it’s smooth and about as thick as shampoo. Comb it through the hair and let sit for 10 -15 minutes, wash out.
Egg Conditioner
1 teaspoon baby oil
1 egg yolk
1 cup water
  • Beat the egg yolk until it’s frothy, add the oil then beat again. Add to the water. Massage into the scalp and throughout your hair. Rinse well.
Banana Deep Conditioner
1 mashed banana
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Mix ingredients together, apply to dry hair and leave on for 30 minutes.
Apple Cider Softness
1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 cups distilled water
  • Pour over your hair as the final rinse. Will leave your hair soft and is a great hair care conditioner for all hair types.
Super Duper Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment for Damaged Hair
1 cup mayonnaise (room temperature if possible)
1/2 cup olive oil
3 egg yolks
  • Blend all ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Apply thoroughly through your hair extra at the ends.
  • Pile hair on top of your head and cover with a plastic shower cap and then cover with a towel to keep the heat from your head.
  • Leave on for at least 10 to 20 minutes and then rinse out. DO NOT shampoo afterwards. Any oil that clings to your hair after you rinse it out will continue to condition your hair until the next time you shampoo it out.
  • It should make one to two treatments, depending on the length of your hair. For best results, use it immediately after making it without refrigerating first. The fats and oil will penetrate your hair follicles better if it is not cold.
