Keyword: homemade hair conditioner

Materials

  • 1 cup coconut oil (this is measured when solid, not liquid)
  • 1 teaspoon almond oil
  • 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add coconut oil to a mixing bowl. Measure the 1 cup while the coconut oil is in a solid-state. If your oil is liquid, put it in the refrigerator to solidify it and then measure it out.
  • Next, add the almond oil and vitamin E oil to the same mixing bowl.
  • Add the vanilla extract to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. 
  • Use a stand mixer or handheld mixers and beat the conditioner on high speed for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, stop the mixer. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Then continue to beat for an additional 3 minutes.
  • After 8 minutes total, your homemade conditioner will be fluffy and similar to a dense homemade whipped cream.
  • Spoon the conditioner into a container or jar and cover. Store the conditioner covered in your shower or bathroom. The conditioner gets slippery so be careful when using a glass jar. 
  • To use your homemade conditioner, wet hair, and apply a very small amount to the ends of your hair. This small amount will really depend on the length and thickness of your hair. Anything from a dime to a nickel size should be adequate for most people.
  •  Let the conditioner sit on your hair for 2-5 minutes before rinsing well. Be careful when using as this will make your shower or tub slippery.
