Making your own home-made beauty and cleaning supplies, such as organic conditioner, is slowly becoming all the rage as more people realize how beneficial it can be. The benefits include everything from less-chemicals, easier on the wallet, to increased health effects. Plus, they make for an excellent, alternative, and easy gift idea!

Let’s start at the top, with hair care. The health of our scalp determines the quality and texture of our hair, and how well each strand holds up against the onslaught of it’s atmosphere. Weather, temperature, moisture and humidity, among other factors. By taking care of your scalp you in turn, provide quality care for the health of your hair.

Try this all-natural, DIY shampoo for those seeking a home-made, organic option – OR – try your hand at these all-natural, organic shampoo bars for beautiful, luxurious hair.

However once hair has been fully washed and rinsed, it’s time to moisturize and protect!

How to make DIY organic conditioner for healthy, shiny, vibrant hair…

You will need;

• 1 cup of organic coconut oil

• 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil

• 1 teaspoon organic jojoba oil

• 5 drops of your favorite organic essential oil (lavender, orange citrus, tea-tree, any others)

This recipe is extremely moisturizing so you only need a very small portion of it with each use (about the size of a nickel is one portion size). Thus, the entire recipe should last you anywhere from 1-2 months, or depending on how often you wash and condition hair.

Place all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and stir it rigorously with a spoon. Using a hand-mixer on high for 6-8 minutes is also efficient. Place your mixture into an air-tight storage container and it’s ready for use!

How to use DIY conditioner…

Coconut oil melts in high temperatures so you may wish to store your mixture in the refrigerator until ready for use. However, it can still be used even in liquid form, it’s up to personal preference. Apply a small amount of your mixture to wet hair after being rinsed from cleansing with shampoo.

It’s suggested to apply only to the ends and mid-shaft area of your hair, and NOT at the roots/crown of your head. This is because this conditioner is made primarily with oils, which upon drying can make your hair appear greasy and oily if too much is used. Even if your hair is incredibly long, only a small amount is needed at the mid-shaft and ends of hair to make it fresh and smooth.

If hair appears greasy afterwards due to too much of this conditioner being used, apply a small amount of dry shampoo, baking soda, or baby powder to absorb the excess and you’ll be good to go.

This conditioner can even be used as an excellent moisturizing lotion as well, and can be applied to arms and legs while yet in the shower. Talk about a win/win! If you’re feeling extra fancy after showering or bathing, spritz on some all-natural, home-made perfume or this masculine cologne sure to outlast and out-maneuver store-bought brands!
