Homemade Hair Conditioner
Homemade Hair conditioner to soften and strengthen all hair types.This recipe has been revised to work for multiple hair types. As a result, the comments may not accurately reflect the changes.
Servings: 1 bottle
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Mason jar
- Conditioner bottle
Ingredients
- 2 oz of distilled water
- 0.25 oz emulsifying wax
- 0.25 oz of cocoa butter
- 0.25 oz argan oil
- 0.25 oz jojoba oil
- 0.25 oz cromollient SCE
- 0.5 oz aloe vera gel
- 0.5 oz linatural broad spectrum preservative
Instructions
- Start by melting the cocoa butter and emulsifying wax with the argan and jojoba oil. This can be done using a double boiler or a small saucepan. Because it's such a small amount, I just use a saucepan on low heat.
- Once melted, add it to a small bowl along with the water, aloe vera gel and cromollient SCE.
- Emulsify the ingredients with an immersion blender for 30 seconds.
- Add your preservative and any essential oils you may be using and stir with a spoon continually as it cools.
- Finally, transfer to an old conditioner bottle or any container with a sealable top to prevent water from entering.
- Use a small amount twice or three times a week for best results.
Notes
All hair types are different, and as a result, this conditioner may not be for everyone.
Because there is water in this recipe, you must use a preservative or store it in the fridge.
The cromollient SCE allows the oils to emulsify with water and improves the wash-off of the product. You can adjust the amounts based on how well the conditioner washes out of your hair. The recommended usage is 2-10%.
If you use essential oils, be sure to store the product in a thick plastic or glass container.
