Oldie but Goody! Deep Conditioner

There are so many deep conditioners out on the market. Some work well, while others simply don’t work and add a variety of chemicals and other harmful ingredients to your hair. In the pursuit of finding natural homemade recipes I came across this recipe that has been around for quite some time now. Some of you may already know it. It is simple, natural and most, if not all of the ingredients can be found in your kitchen!

Avocado Deep Conditioner!

Ingredients:
1. One Whole Avocado- remove outer skin and seed.


2. Mayo- 2 table spoons. Mayonnaise, believe it or not is a natural product (when made with natural ingredients) for instance mayo is made up of oil, vinegar and egg. If these ingredients are natural then making an all natural mayo is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Another alternative is to purchase an all natural mayo from your local market if you don’t want to go through the trouble of additional measuring and mixing.




3. Essential oils- Your favorite. I.e. Coconut, jojoba oil etc…
A good website to study oils and even purchase them is silkyscents.com

4. Baking soda- 1 Tablespoon

To mix all of the ingredients you will need a small blender or food processor. Make sure that it is properly cleaned and dry. Add the avocado to the mixer and blend until the lumps are removed. Then proceed to add the 2 tablespoons of Mayo and blend those two components together. Finally add your essential oil(s) and 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the mixture and blend until all ingredients are completely mixed.

Once all ingredients are mixed remove conditioner from the mixer and place into a bowl. The conditioner must be applied to damp hair. You may want to wash or co wash your hair and pat dry with a clean towel. When this is complete, now it is time to add your deep conditioner to your hair.


Part your hair into 4 sections (simply for better control and distribution of the conditioner). Apply conditioner to each section individually then if there is any left-over reapply to the ends of your hair along your hairline and roots.

*Note: If there is not enough in the bowl to cover your entire head, make more conditioner. If there is just a little left in the bowl and you may not have any more ingredients, simply add a little water.

Keep conditioner on hair for 30 minutes and wash out well!
Style as desired, your hair will be soft, shiny and healthier with all the robust ingredients you added!

Always Enjoy your Hair!
