Eight Homemade Beauty Recipes for Your Hair

Avocado Deep Hair Conditioner
To 1/2 avocado pulp, mix 1 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoons olive oil or mayonnaise. Blend ingredients to a spreadable consistency. Gently massage mixture into the scalp and hair; let hair rest 20 minutes; Shampoo and rinse as usual.
Coffee Deep Conditioner
For shiny hair, coffee is the ingredient of choice for dark hair. Pour one cup cooled, strong espresso onto your dry hair, working it in as completely as possible. Leave in hair twenty minutes, rinse, and style as usual.
Mayonnaise Deep Conditioner
Use inexpensive mayonnaise to condition your hair. The ingredients in mayonnaise are oil, egg, and lemon – all of which are good for the hair.
To deep condition your hair, rub mayonnaise throughout your hair, put on a shower cap, and let your hair rest twenty minutes under the cap. Then shampoo and rinse as usual.
Condensed Milk Conditioner Instead of using your normal hair conditioner, try using condensed milk instead. Proteins in the milk will leave your hair extra shiny.
Take the bite out of Smelly Hair with Tomato

Olive Oil Deep Hair Conditioning
For soft and bouncy hair, treat your hair to a warm olive oil conditioning. 
-
Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
-
When the oil is safe to use (not too hot), massage it into the scalp, and then throughout the hair.
-
Place a shower cap over all of your hair (or use saran wrap) and let the hair rest 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Wash well with your favorite shampoo. – The oil will be a little difficult to remove, but it’s well worth it.
- Your hair will feel silky, soft, and have much more bounce.
Avoid Burns/Blistering! Before applying oil to your scalp and hair, test a drop on your inner wrist. If it is too hot for the wrist, it's too hot for your scalp!
