Avocado Conditioner: Helps hair to shine Mix 1 small jar of real mayonnaise with avocado in a medium sized bowl. Squish the mixture with your hands until it turns a light green, minty color. Apply the mixture directly onto your hair, making sure you cover every strand from the scalp to the tip. Cover your head with a shower cap, and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. If you have naturally oily hair, you may want to wash your hair with a gentle shampoo afterward as well. Olive Oil Conditioner: Helps fight flyaways Pour a generous amount of your regular eco-friendly conditioner into your hand – enough so that it covers your entire palm. Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil into the conditioner. Use a mixing bowl if easier. Apply the mixture onto the bottom half of your hair, focusing on the ends. Gather your hair together so that it sits at the top of your head and cover with a warm wet towel. Leave on for 20 minutes, and then rinse out in the shower. If you have naturally oily hair, you may want to wash your hair with a gentle shampoo afterward as well. Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse: Helps get rid of residue build-up Mix 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar with 1 quart water (adjust ratio of vinegar to water according to amount needed or frequency of use). Pour vinegar rinse through hair (scent will quickly dissipate). Re-rinse with cool water. Homemade Hair Gel: Helps Define Curls Mix 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin with 1 cup hot water. Lets set at room temperature until firm. Add a drop of essential oils or extracts for scent. Apply to wet or dry hair and style as desired.
