Natural Hair Conditioner Guaranteed to Make Your Hair Soft

Is Your Natural Hair Conditioner Really Doing Its Job?

The products we buy often boast to contain a certain ingredient, so much so that they are even labeled by the name of the key ingredient at times.

Unfortunately, if you turn the bottle around and read the ingredients, you’ll find it only includes a trace amount of that ingredient. And the rest, many times, is questionable chemicals and fragrance oils.

And when you consider the first and main ingredient is water, how good can it really do?

How much money are you overpaying for a product that doesn’t work?

I absolutely love making my own products at home, even when they present a challenge.

Why? Because I control the ingredients that go into the products while getting the most bang for my buck!

You can take control of the ingredients that go into your hair and beauty products, too! Start with this DIY natural hair conditioner guaranteed to make your hair soft and tangle-free!

How to Apply Natural Hair Conditioner

You can apply this softening natural hair conditioner using two methods. For a deep conditioning treatment, apply it as a hair mask.

Add a quarter-sized amount to your hair, beginning at the ends and working your way up. Wrap hair into a warm towel and let condition for 30 minutes before washing hair.

The second method simply involves applying the conditioner to dry ends three times weekly in the shower before washing. I apply just a nickel size amount when using this method to soften hair.

DIY Natural Hair Conditioner Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon shea butter, optional
• ½ lemon
• 1 teaspoon argan oil
• 4 drops of lavender essential oil
• 2 drops of cedarwood essential oil

How to Make DIY Natural Hair Conditioner

Using the double boiler method or the microwave, melt together coconut oil and shea butter. I recommend only including the shea butter if you have coarse or very dry hair. Shea butter is incredibly moisturizing and can be too much for fine hair.

Let the coconut and shea mixture stand until almost solid. Then squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture and add argan oil. Whip together with a hand mixer for three minutes.

Then, add four to seven drops of lavender essential oil and two to five drops of cedarwood essential oil. Continue to whip for two more minutes until creamy. Then, spoon the conditioner into a small airtight jar.
