This homemade conditioner is a coconut-based conditioner. Coconut oil changes forms, solid or liquid, with the temperature of your home and the season of the year. If it’s hot, the mixture will begin to turn into a liquid. It will return back to a solid once it cools down. This means when you put it into your hands, it will begin to melt quickly. It’s fine to use melted, it just might be a little messier.
Little make-up refrigerators are all the trend right now. So if you want to keep the conditioner solid throughout the warm months, check one out!
