5 Homemade Conditioners

In this article, we will show you 5 homemade hair conditioners that are easy to use and also add nutrients and vitamins to your hair. Learn how to get strong and beautiful hair without spending a fortune on hair care products or visiting the beauty salon.

Causes of Damaged Hair

• Applying excessive heat to your hair (curlers, dryers, straighteners)
• Too much sun exposure
• Bleaching/Blinding

• hair coloring
• Brushing too much or brushing too little
• Excessive use of shampoo

When your hair is damaged, it tends to cause problems such as split ends or lack of growth. The worst thing you can do in this case is to do nothing.

It is important to seek advice from a stylist and trim the split ends, treat your hair, and use homemade conditioners on your hair.

You need few ingredients for these homemade conditioners. They are all very cheap to make and give excellent results in terms of structure and health of the hair.

1. Avocado and Banana Conditioners

3. Moisturizing Banana Mask

Banana is an excellent alternative for repairing hair damaged by coloring and extreme temperature changes. The mask contains everything needed to repair the damage in a very simple and cheap way.

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 egg
• Honey
• Milk
• Olive oil

Instructions

4. Nourishing yogurt mask

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• Yogurt

Instructions

Beat the egg until it becomes a liquid, well-mixed consistency. Add 6 tablespoons of yogurt to this and mix again.

Operating mode

Apply the mixture with a gentle massage and cover your hair with a bath cap. Leave the yogurt mask on for 20-30 minutes and rinse with shampoo and warm water.

5. Nourishing Oils

While the conditioners we just talked about are very effective, you may want it to go a little faster. In this case, the best alternative is natural oils.

They penetrate the surface and help repair existing scalp damage while helping to prevent new problems. They also make the hair soft and shiny. The most effective oils are:

avocado oil

This is an excellent conditioner because the fatty acids and vitamin E promote growth and increase the shine of the hair. It’s best to use warm or hot avocado oil (as long as you don’t burn yourself) and let it soak in for 30 minutes. Rinse out or leave it on overnight and then rinse it out the next day.

Olive oil

Olive oil is fantastic for softening your hair and is much better for the hair than other oils. When you use hot olive oil, its ability to improve hair texture and quality increases significantly.

Use a tablespoon of warm olive oil to massage your hair and cover with a shower cap or plastic bag. Wait 40 minutes and rinse with warm water and shampoo.

Homemade conditioner, a cheap and effective alternative

There is no excuse to continue with badly treated or abused hair. The fact is that it does not cost a lot of money nor does it have to take too much time to improve the texture and quality of the hair.

All you have to do is be patient, because the time it took your hair to damage will also be the time it takes for it to recover. You can use either of these conditioners twice a month, but if the damage is extreme, you can also use them more often.
