METHOD-
Things You Need-
- 1/3 cup commercial Aloe Vera Gel
- 1 tablespoon Argan Oil
- 1 tablespoon Grapeseed Oil
- 7-8 drops Rose Oil
Directions-
To make this hair conditioner, grab a bowl and add in aloe vera gel. Make sure that the aloe gel that you’re using is commercial and not freshly extracted. Commercial aloe vera gel only works in this recipe because it contains emulsifiers that help emulsify all the ingredients together and also has a good shelflife. Add in rose oil, grapeseed oil and argan oil and give it all a really good mix until well emulsified and homogeneous. Transfer this to an easy-to-use pump bottle and use it as a regular hair conditioner. After you’re done shampooing, add a dollop of this conditioner on your palms and massage it on your scalp and hair. Let it sit for five minutes and rinse it off with cold water. Let your hair air dry or style as you normally would and use this conditioner once a week.
NOTE:
- Patch test before using make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients used in this aloe hair conditioner recipe.
