Favorite Things Friday

"These are a few of my favorite things."

I'm 'doin' hair' today--both girls' and mine.  It is a task but not like it used to be.  For those of you who may be 'natural' in how you wear and do your hair I just thought I'd share my VERY favorite homemade hair conditioner.  I have to say, every time I use it, I feel wonderful.  Not only do I enjoy the smell of it, but it leaves my/our hair lovely (moisturized, without too much oily-ness).  I came upon this recipe in viewing a natural hair care video on YouTube (yet cannot remember which one).

Homemade Hair Conditioner

1/2 avacado

3.5 oz coconut milk

3.5 oz coconut oil

1 Tbsp olive oil

1Tbsp castor oil or honey (I use honey)

Makes 2 cups

After cleaning hair & scalp (I use a no-poo cleaning**), put conditioner in hair.  (I part the hair and put it in at the scalp and massage it through to the ends.) 

Cover hair with a cap and leave on for 1-2 hours.  (I usually sit under a dryer for 15-30 minutes.)

Rinse in warm water until water runs through clear.

**No-Poo Cleaning

Baking Soda/Water paste (rub into scalp & rinse.  do as many times as necessary)

Then rinse with an Apple Cider Vinegar/Water Mix (1/3 ACV & 2/3 water)
