Enjoy making your own homemade Hair Conditioner
Protein repairs hair damage
If you want your hair to be healthy, shiny and strong, conditioning
it on a regular basis is essential. Conditioners consist of three major
components: emollients, which soften and smooth your hair; moisturizers
to increase the water content of your hair; and proteins that strengthen
each hair shaft. Making your own homemade conditioner allows you to
add essential oils which customize conditioners for a range of hair
types and needs. Its the best way to insure that you have a natural
hair conditioner.

Tip:
In order to protect your hair from
the corrosive effects of sunlight, chlorinated water, hair dryers,
color treatments and permanents, apply a conditioning treatment
regularly. |

Protein Repairs Hair Damage
Egg yolks and other forms of protein, such as
supplemental protein powders derived from eggs, whey milk, soy
or rice, can help repair hair damage. Protein-based conditions
smooth and bond the scales to the hair shaft. This produces
resilient, shiny hair that's able to resist tangles.

For deep hair conditioning, apply conditioner to wet, washed

one to two hours, and then rinse. Repeat once or twice a week,
using a fresh batch of conditioner each time.

Ingredient
Benefits:
Essential
oils for your hair type: Adding essential oils to conditioners
can help address your particular hair-care needs. For instance,
myrrh and geranium oils can help repair dry, damaged hair, while
clary-sage oil can give hair a delicate sheen. Dandruff may
benefit from cypress oil, which gently cleanses the scalp without
drying it out, and from tea-tree oil, which helps fight bacterial
infections that can occur with severe cases of dandruff. Invigorating
rosemary oil stimulates circulation and promotes vigorous hair
growth, which can counteract hair loss and dandruff.
Scalp massage: Daily scalp massages enhance
the effects of deep conditioning. Grasp the scalp underneath
the hair, using the pads of your fingers, and gently move it
back and forth. You can also massage your scalp with a special
brush, using light pressure and circular motions. Massaging
your scalp should be done for a few minutes every day before
you wash or style your hair.
