I have been really enjoying making my own shampoo and conditioner, but I really wanted to make a deep conditioner just to keep my hair feeling extra nourished. Immediately after my run this afternoon, I whipped up some ingredients I had lying around:
half an avocado
2 tbs Mayo
1/2 lemon juice from a small lemon
1 tsp Argon Oil
1 tsp Castor Oil
2 tsp Water
Then blend all of these together and apply to your hair from root to tip. The conditioner will kind of look like guacamole, I almost wanted to grab some chips and eat it..sadly I am not kidding. Cover your hair with a shower cap or a plastic grocery bag if you don't have a shower cap and let the conditioner sit on your hair for about 20-30 minutes.
After you take off the cap or plastic bag wash your hair thoroughly with a little baking soda and water. Then rinse ends with diluted apple cider vinegar to balance the ph level. This will leave your hair feeling shinier and softer and reduce the greasy after feeling deep conditioners leave. Using a deep conditioner will always give your hair an initial heavier feeling but by the next day it should be back to normal after a good wash.
