Homemade All-Natural DEEP CONDITIONER??

[loolalooh]

Does anyone DC with a homemade all-natural mix? No commercial conditioners added? A moisturizing DC (I've seen a lot of protein ones)? If so, what's your mix and how is it working for you?

TIA! I'd really appreciate it.

co-signing. I plan on searching the hair recipe board later on this week for moisturizing deep conditioners.

 

[loolalooh]

Glad to know I'm not alone.

ETA: I guess I'll check out the hair recipe board as well. Thanks!

just thinking of what i have in my kitchen... i'm thinking of tossing some coconut milk, honey, glycerin, SAA, and molasses together and letting it sit on my hair for a spell.

If I remember right raw Shea butter can be used as a deep conditioner.

I use coconut milk with honey and olive oil. The coconut milk is like a light protein and light moisturizer in one. Honey is a moisturizer and we know about olive oil. I also heard that shea butter is a natural conditioner. I use it mostly on wet hair when styling though. I sometimes just use honey and olive oil with a little aloe when I feel the need for moisture only...you know as far as a DC.

ETA~ Just read thread. I also use molasses...Poookie is a girl after my own heart!

If it's without adding anything, that's great! I have a couple tubs of shea butter. If I DC with it, would I then need to moisturize afterwards? Thanks!

I do happen to use a commerical condish with my DC, but by eliminating it and adding a butter in its place, I'd have:

greek yogurt
molasses
cream honey
agave nectar
olive oil
castor oil

and I'd add shea, avocado, red palm, or olive butter to replace my conditioner.

Sometimes I add sodium lactate, honeyquat, or silk amino acids.

here goes:
egg-protein
coconut oil-nourishing (one of the few oils that penetrate the hair shaft)
peppermint eo-stimulation
honey-moisture
aloe vera-protein/moisture
I use this mixture with heat for about 30 minutes.. works great

I have made one using goat milk yogurt, honey, whey protein powder, olive oil, pureed banana, aloe vera.

Do homemade conditioner penetrate the hair?
I've always wondered about that....

 

[LadyKaypnyc]

I use coconut oil and molassas, sometimes I add oils, SAA and honeyquat, but most of the time I don't b/c the coconut milk works well alone.

I get the creamed honey from Trader Joes. I don't measure I use heaping table spoons of molasses, honey, yogurt, castor, and olive oil. I use a bowl that I know when full will coat all my hair.

 

[loolalooh]

Homemade DC for MOISTURE: ripe avacado + honey/molasses + glycerin + oil = super moisture

Homemade DC for PROTEIN: mayonaise + 1 whole egg = super strong, super shine

Of course they do.

They can... I chose the ingredients I use for that specific purpose... i.e coconut oil being one of the very few oils that actually penetrate the hair shaft... but I do use my conditioner with heat to help promote penetration... I mean who really needs fake fragrance, artificial color and parabens to penetrate the hair???

True. Part of the reason why I want to mix my own DC.

Well I need to find a heating cap and then purposefully choose ingredients that penetrate the hair..thanks!
I usually use organic conditioner, no parabens.petroleum, mineral oil or that other stuff, however I am going broke so these homemade conditioners will really help out.
