Hair can become dry, brittle and dull when too much cosmetics for the hair and minerals in the hard water accumulate. Natural hair conditioner is easy to make and only requires 2 basic ingredients. When used together with shampoos and conditioners, the conditioner not only removes oily oils, but also keeps hair soft and shiny. This article will provide 4 recipes that you can try with ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Use vinegar

1. 

   Raw material concentration. The idea of ​​pouring vinegar on your hair may sound strange, but it actually works to get rid of oil. Vinegar also balances the pH of hair, flattens hair cuticles and helps hair soft and supple. Note, however, that this conditioner is not recommended for dyed hair as it can cause discoloration or color staining. You need the following ingredients:
   • 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of vinegar
   • 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water
   • Cup, mug or bottle for the solution

2. 

   
   
   Make a hair conditioner. Pour water and vinegar into a cup, mug or bottle. You can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Dissolve the two ingredients with a spoon. If you are using a solution bottle, simply close the cap and shake it.
   • If you have long or very thick hair, you need to use twice the amount of ingredients: 2-4 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water.

3. 

   
   
   Consider adding essential oils to the vinegar. Instead of just vinegar, you can add 5-10 drops of essential oil to 1 cup (240 ml) of vinegar. Shake the essential oils well in vinegar and use it to make a hair conditioner (1-2 tablespoons of essential oil vinegar per cup (240 ml) of water) instead of regular vinegar. Do not pour vinegar and essential oils into your hair undiluted. Essential oils not only help suppress the sour smell of the vinegar, but are also beneficial for hair. Depending on your hair type, you can use the following essential oils:
   • For dry hair, you can use any of the following essential oils: lavender, myrrh, peppermint.
   • For normal hair, you can use the following essential oils: chamomile, sage, lavender.
   • For oily hair, choose essential oils such as basil, lavender, lemongrass, lemon, patchouli, rosemary, tea tree, royal orchid.
