Conditioner is used to balance the pH of your hair and provide it with essential oils and shine after shampooing. Making your own conditioner is a great way to save money and stop using chemicals in your hair, and most of the ingredients are already available at home.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Using common ingredients

1. Mix 1/2 cup of the yogurt, the mayonnaise, and the egg whites for a quick conditioner. While some people find the idea of ​​using food in a conditioner a bit strange, mayonnaise is a great way to add a healthy shine to your hair. The egg whites contain protein that can help repair damaged hair, and the vinegar helps restore the pH balance of your scalp. This simple mixture is easy to spread and can be used just like normal conditioner. Just stir everything together in a bowl and apply as usual.
   • Do not use hot water to wash your hair or you risk causing the white of the egg to coagulate on your head.
   • Replace plain yogurt with vanilla yogurt for a light vanilla scent.
2. Mix a tablespoon of honey, half a cup of whole milk and a few drops of olive oil in a bowl or cup. Stir the mixture well and apply it on your head.
   • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for a beautiful spicy scent.
   • Some people believe that adding pureed banana can also help prevent hair breakage.
3. Try aloe vera or shea butter conditioner to combat split ends. Mix aloe or shea butter with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil to make it easy to spread, then rub it into your hair after shampooing. You can also skip the olive oil for a simple and effective leave-on conditioner.
   • You don't need much - simply put a little on your fingertips and target the ends of your hair to combat split ends.
4. Apply a coat of warm coconut or olive oil to coat your hair overnight. Oil is essential for healthy hair, so this overnight conditioner is a great way to make your hair happy and healthy. Make sure to protect your hair with a shower cap to avoid getting oil on your pillow. This is especially useful for dry, damaged hair. Repeat this 2-3 times a week or as often as your hair requires.
   • Heat the oil until it is warm, but not too hot when you touch it.
   • Massage the oil into your hair and spread it over your head to the ends of your hair.
   • Rinse the oil out the next morning.
5. Use avocado as a base for a deep cleansing conditioner. The following recipe combines many of the principles of homemade conditioners to create a deep cleansing anti-dandruff conditioner. Using a blender, mix the following ingredients and reap the benefits of homemade products:
   • 1 fully ripened avocado
   • 2-3 teaspoons of honey
   • 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
   • 1/4 cup of aloe vera juice (available at most health and specialty stores)
   • 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
   • If the mixture is too thick, add more aloe vera or some water.
6. Add herbs, oils, or fragrances to your mix to customize your conditioner. The basics of conditioner are actually quite simple: a base (such as yogurt, avocado, honey), a pH balance (vinegar, lemon juice), and some oil (coconut oil, olive oil, mayo). Then you can combine everything with it and mix it with all kinds of ingredients to get the right balance for your hair. Try the following additions:
   • Ground linseed
   • Lavender, lemon, bergamot, sage or rosemary extract.
   • Milk or cream to thin the mixture so that it is easier to apply.

Method 2 of 3: Using apple cider vinegar

1. Know that apple cider vinegar is great for balancing the pH of your hair. This classic liquid is the basis of many home remedies and a completely natural way to keep your hair clean and shiny. You mix it with water so you don't have to worry about your hair smelling like vinegar. A quick rinse will strip hair of any odor.
2. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of vinegar and mix well. Simply stir and shake the liquids until well mixed. Your basic conditioner is ready. Shake the bottle before use to make sure it is still mixed well.
   • This simple mix is ​​a great base that will help adjust your conditioner.
3. If you have oily hair, add essential oils such as lavender or bergamot. These oils will cleanse your hair and return oil to the hair follicles. This prevents your hair from overcompensating and producing a lot of oil shortly after you get out of the shower, which leads to oily hair. Add 6-7 drops of the following essential oils:
   • Bergamot
   • Lavender
   • Lemon
   • Rosemary
   • Sandalwood
   • Tea tree
4. Add anti-dandruff oil if you have scalp flakes. Apple cider vinegar conditioner can be quickly adjusted to combat dandruff. Simply add 6-7 drops of the following oils and extracts to combat dandruff:
   • Peppermint
   • Lavender
   • Lemon
   • Thyme
   • Rosemary
5. For a scented conditioner, leave sprigs of rosemary or lavender in your mixture for 1-2 weeks. Just add the sprigs after mixing the conditioner and let them steep for a few weeks. Filter out the sprigs when you're done, and have conditioner that will leave your head smelling great for 1-2 hours after using it.

Method 3 of 3: Using the conditioner

1. Wet your hair with cool or cold water. Hot water damages your hair by opening up the pores on the hair shaft, allowing moisture and oil to escape.
   • If you like hot showers, rinse your hair with cold water for 30 seconds just before stopping to soften some of the effect.
2. Squeeze the water out of your hair before applying the conditioner. Your hair is already soaking wet with the water, making it more difficult to get the conditioner into the hair strands. After rinsing, dry your hair a bit by squeezing it lightly. You can even pat your hair with a towel to get rid of the superficial water.
3. Apply conditioner to the ends of your hair. It is not the intention to massage the conditioner into your scalp where it is of little use. Spread the conditioner over your palms, then work it up to the ends of your hair, starting in the center.
   • You only need a small dollop of conditioner - too much can flatten your hair and make it look limp.
4. Leave the conditioner on for 2-5 minutes before rinsing it out. This will give your hair time to absorb the conditioner and get clean and happy.
5. Use the conditioner before and not after your shampoo. Most people will naturally wash their hair first and then apply conditioner, but a recent trend of doing this in reverse promises shiny hair with plenty of volume. Simply apply the conditioner and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing and shampooing your hair.
   • Don't worry if your hair feels a little greasy after applying the conditioner - the shampoo will fix this further.
   • Try the reverse routine for a week to see how it feels. It is easy to get back to your old routine if you are not satisfied with the result.
6. Also use the conditioner when you are not using shampoo. Shampoo removes the essential oil from your hair and shouldn't be used more often than every 2-3 days. But you should always use conditioner as this will restore the pH balance of your hair and give it a beautiful shine.
   • People with oily hair may need to shampoo more often.
   • You can also use a small amount of conditioner without washing your hair. Just massage it into the tips of your hair with your fingertips - your hair will absorb it.

Tips

• Remember to always rinse your hair well after applying the conditioner.
• Apply a layer of the conditioner to your hair before swimming, and put on a bathing cap, then rinse the conditioner from your hair after swimming.
• Make sure to add a nice scent to it, otherwise your hair will smell like eggs and vinaigrette.

Warnings

• If the conditioner contains mayo or dairy products, keep it refrigerated.
