COCONUT OIL HAIR TREATMENT

Coconut oil has so many incredible benefits for your hair, skin, and overall wellness. No wonder it is all the hype lately, and you can find it in many beauty products today.

Coconut oil can help to maintain healthy-looking locks by adding moisture, strengthening the hair, and helping it grow faster. The vitamins found in coconut oil can also help to protect the scalp against dandruff and flaky skin.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon carrier oil
5 drops essential oils

INSTRUCTIONS

Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
Mix using a hand mixer until it is light and fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes.
Massage the mixture into your scalp and hair. Run your fingers through your strands to make sure the serum is covering all of the hair. Let the mixture sit for at least 15-20 minutes, then rinse out and wash hair with shampoo and conditioner.

EGG YOLK DEEP CONDITIONER TREATMENT

Believe it or not, egg yolks can be very good for your hair. Rich in vitamins and protein, applying egg yolks to the hair can help to restore damaged hair.

Studies have shown that egg yolks can stimulate hair growth, add moisture to dry hair, and promote hair shine.

For this recipe, we will be using the egg yolk only. To separate the yolk from the white, simply crack the shell and pour the yolk back in forth from shell to shell. Tilt the shell to allow the white to drip out into a bowl. Continue until only the yolk is left. Discard the whites.

INGREDIENTS

1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon olive oil (or any other carrier oil)
2-3 drops rosemary essential oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
Whisk until well combined.
Massage the mixture into your scalp and hair. Run your fingers through your strands to ensure the serum is covering all of the hair. Let the mixture sit for at least 15-20 minutes, then rinse out with warm water. Wash out with shampoo and conditioner.

MAYONNAISE DEEP CONDITIONER TREATMENT FOR HAIR

Mayonnaise is commonly used as a homemade hair treatment. Since mayo is made out of mainly eggs and olive oil, it has similar benefits as the recipe from above. It is a great option if you have it on hand; if not, you can use the egg yolk recipe.

Mayonnaise can add shine to dull hair and promote growth and thickness. It can also help to reduce hair frizz while adding moisture and protecting against split ends.

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2-3 drops lavender essential oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine both ingredients together in a small mixing bowl.
Thoroughly stir together.
Work the mixture into your scalp and hair. Run your fingers through your strands to make sure the serum is covering all of the hair. Let the mixture sit for at least 15-20 minutes, then rinse out with warm water. Shampoo and condition as normal.

HOW TO USE DIY DEEP CONDITIONER TREATMENT

Depending on the hair type will determine how long you want to leave the treatment in your hair. It is not recommended to leave eggs in the hair overnight or for long periods of time. They can strip hair if left in to long and bacteria can form.

It is best to leave the treatments in for 15-20 minutes before rinsing out to give it time to really soak into the roots and scalp.

When applying deep hair conditioner treatments to the hair, be sure to get the mixture thoroughly mixed into every part of the hair. You can use your fingers or comb to brush the mixture into the hair. Allow it to sit and then rinse out with warm water.

Follow the deep hair treatment by washing your hair with natural shampoo and conditioner.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DEEP CONDITION MY HAIR?

It really depends on how damaged your hair is to determine how often you need to do a deep conditioner treatment. For normal natural hair, it is recommended to do a deep conditioner treatment 2-4 times monthly.

For damaged hair, you may need to do treatments twice weekly until hair is restored.

HOW LONG DOES THE DEEP CONDITIONER LAST?

All of these recipes are made for a one time use and meant to be used right after you make them. Do not store these conditioner treatments.

You may need to adjust the recipes by adding more or less to get the right amount for your hair.

CAN YOU SUBSTITUTE THE ESSENTIAL OILS IN THE RECIPES?

Yes! Several essential oils can be used to promote hair growth and health. The oils mentioned in the recipes, rosemary, and lavender, are two of the best essential oils for hair. If you don’t have those oils on hand, you can also try cedarwood, sandalwood, peppermint, lemongrass, or lemon. All of these oils have significant benefits for the hair.

If you prefer to make these DIY deep conditioner recipes without the essential oils you can eliminate them altogether.
