Remarkable Homemade Hair Conditioners

Applying a hair conditioner helps improve the texture and appearance of your hair. However, you need not rely on store-bought hair conditioners available in the form of leave-in creams, gels, sprays, etc. that should not be applied on the roots. You can make your own natural hair conditioning recipes at home.

A conditioner can work as a great hair care product by keeping your hair strong, healthy, and attractive. These hair conditioners are particularly useful when dealing with dry, frizzy hair.

Homemade Hair Conditioner Recipes

The following hair care recipes are to be used on damp hair right after shampooing your hair. When you choose and apply any of these recipes, make sure you leave it in your hair for a few minutes.

It is better to use these recipes if you are staying in the house for a while and not leaving for work immediately.

• • Combine equal parts of organic honey and water. Wash your hair with this solution after you shampoo your hair and rinse it off with water. Preferably, use cold water as it makes your hair appear shiny, too.

   

• • Rinsing your lustrous locks with a cup of water mixed with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar helps remove product buildup from your scalp.

  Plus, it facilitates hair growth, and cures problems like dandruff and itchy scalp. It is suitable for all types of hair. You may also add a small amount of herbal tea in this recipe.

   

• • You can prepare another homemade hair conditioner with ACV. For this, you need to fill a quart jar half-way with herbs like chamomile (for blonde hair), nettle or rosemary (dark hair), elder flowers, comfrey root, etc. Next, pour apple cider vinegar in the jar to fill it completely.

  Set this mixture aside for a couple of weeks. Shake the jar daily so that the ingredients mix well. Finally, after two to three weeks, strain the solution and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil in it.
