Homemade Deep Conditioners For Soft, Shiny, Healthy Hair

Over the years I have tried several different deep conditioners, homemade as well as store bought. The store bought conditioners are generally less expensive, last longer and are less messy, but, the majority of them did not leave my hair as soft and manageable as I prefer; they also have a chemical smell to them.

Homemade deep conditioners are usually made of items you find in the grocery store. In my many experiments with using them, I have noticed a dramatic difference between outcome of store bought conditioners, such as softens, manageability, shine and overall healthy appearance. The concerns I have with the homemade conditioners are they are really expensive to make, can get really messy when applying, really only last for the one application, and sometimes even if you use the exact same ingredients, they outcome may be slightly different; I've also had people complain about feeling as if they wasted valuable food when using homemade deep conditioners.

I would recommend experimenting with homemade deep conditioners, but personally, I would never make this my only form of conditioning my hair, because I am one of those people that would prefer to eat my food. Here are a few recipes to try. Feel free to tweak them to your liking.

1 small jar of real mayonnaise, 1/2 of an avocado ....

Mix with your hands or with a hand held mixer in a medium bowl. After applying to towel dried hair, place a shower cap on the hair. For a more deep conditioning apply a hot towel around the cap; let sit for 20 minutes then rinse. You can also do a deep conditioning with mayonnaise by itself. Just remember to use real mayonnaise and not salad dressing.

1 avocado
1 can coconut milk
Mash avocado and slowly add coconut milk until smooth and the consistency of hair conditioner. Work through hair to ends. Rinse after 15 minutes then shampoo....

1 teaspoon baby oil
1 egg yolk
1 cup water
Beat the egg yolk until it's frothy, add the oil then beat again. Add to the water. Massage into the scalp and throughout your hair. Rinse well
